Robin said:A pruning-mod was installed here a couple of months ago which had some default settings for how long a member can be inactive before it's automatically deleted from the database (to save space, bandwidth and queries) which were a little too low (30 days). Unfortunately, the mod's settings weren't configurable until after it was activated and started pruning people out.
The time members who posted at least once can be inactive before their account is deleted is now set to 365 days.
The time for members who never posted is set to 90.

Robin said:Most of the members who were pruned actually had been inactive for longer than a month. They surely had no plans in coming back, and why make the website slower for everyone and the expenses for the servers higher because of hundreds of unused accounts?
The whole point of this website is for people to get help to spread their wings and fly away and hopefully forget about everything that remind them of their sad past, which unfortunately also includes this community. They're not supposed to stay here for long. They have a full life to live, which we possibly couldn't give them from a website.

((((Bluey))))
Can't believe this day has come but I disagree with you wholeheartedly. Even though I'm know you have a good heart, you cannot call past member spill milk. I just have to stood my ground this time around. Now I would hope that they left for some other reason, but seeing so many leave, that is just unacceptable a bit that it was a mistake.
Wait...this is Bluey right?
I'm sorry, I miss them, and I'm quite tire as well.
