As for accounts where theres been no posts...we have in the past pruned things back as we saw necessary...Usually its at times of major upgrades or server moves.
My honest opinion....Its not something I really worry about in the big picture of running a web forum like this...With all the letter names and number combinations I really don't worry about a shortage of user names, and to tell you the truth, I would actually rather not have a member use the name used by someone else...It makes it confusing for us Dinosaurs that have been here from the beginning.... no need to recycle names... That said, if someone really is heart set on using a particular name thats been inactive forever... I'm open to taking a look at it and seeing if I can accomodate.
