This sounds like it could be a good idea. I'm kind of OCD about things like that; it annoys me if I'm searching for a member or something and can't find them because there are so many super-old names just taking up space in the server.

A few years ago I actually had this huuuuge McFly kick (a British band) and thought I was going to be a fan forever and joined their most popular forum. Like Dougiefied dot net or something, named after their frontman. I posted like once and never came back; turns out I only liked two of their songs, lol. So I pretty much forgot about the forum, but about a year after I joined it I got an email from the admin that had this gist: If you're receiving this message, it is because you haven't logged in to Dougified for an extended period of time. If you would like to preserve your account, please log in and start posting on the forums! We'd like to get to know you. :)

And that was it! I thought that was a fabulous way to go about it- just send a mass email out to inactive members, and then it's not a surprise if they try to log in one day 10 years from now and can't. Avoids conflict, and it's elegant.

I let them delete my account, btw. Lolz. My love for Utada has stood the test of time, of course. :)

So that's an idea! I second the motion! XD
