About Game Day December 18, 2008  TerroX   discuss (0 posts) Site News: Account clean up User Accounts will be deactivated due to inactive email accounts after the next resource is uploaded. Deactivated accounts are still in the database, but they do not show on the User Register, if the user account has a forum account as well (as all new members do) the forum account member group is shown as "BAD EMAIL". This is reversible if anyone wants their account restored, just email terrox at this domain. Also the "Age" status in User Register pages will become "Last Login" (as Age is part of the forum as well), after a year of inactivity we might automatically "hide" accounts which are not accessed so we have a more useful measure of site usage by real humans. Update: A lot of inactive accounts were created in 2006. Was that some sort of reaction to D20 modern?
