I can think of a bunch of reasons, none of which are particularly compelling either way.

Reasons not to delete member accounts:
- There may be other things people do, like have notification set up for old threads on issues that they want to keep an eye on (e-mail notifications, etc)
- They may be registered here so that other people can contact them for clan or other reasons, even if they don't log in or post often (e-mail notifications, etc)
- The amount of space used up in the database used for these inactive members is under 1MB.  By comparison, the entire forums SQL database is 350MB, and the attachments and other forum files take up 2.5GB.  The server has over 100 GB free still.
- There would be no performance increase from removing these members
- The headache of me dealing with anywhere from 1-2000 e-mails from these deleted members about "why can't I login?" is not worth it at all, considering I haven't found a single real benefit of deleting these members yet.

It's not exactly luying to the pucblic, brudda. It's not some grand conspiracy. ..though that would be pretty cool ;)

Every forum has people who comes only once then decides it's not for them or whatever. So does every page out there that offers registration. Wouldn't change a thing if we deleted'em. In any case, I'm sure Bricks will have the prober response once he sees this thread. Don't worry about it, lads.

Oh, and also.. LIVERPOOL!!!
liverpool? no, just no.

VILLA!!!
<EnEsCe> you challenge me I will make your Soldat life a living hell.

Dude, Villa fluke 93rd minute mate. 2 - 0 that was a load of bs...and you know it. And for you Echo, you going downhill from now on mate...you couldn't even beat us with 10 men...we played better with 10 men and should of won. And by the way, you guys are nothing without torres so you can't really talk can you.
Football is the other face of the world. If you don't like it, then you can get the hell out!
