....just curious:

There are some pretty good names that newcomers might want to use which are taken up by people who registered and never posted (e.g. "CrazySniffable" in 2004). Have you guys ever considered setting things up to automatically delete accounts activated but unused, or, say, unused for the last two years (or six months, or whatever you thought was appropriate)?

Just curious. Obviously I have zero stake in this.

anyway, we do clean out old users once in a while, and we're well aware of the huge amount of inactive accounts so we might look into it soon enough. (y)
