Purging Inactive Usernames

I decided to check the Member List to see who took the other two names I had tried to get: "Bossman" without the hyphen; and also my last name. ...It's odd my last name is taken, since it's a unique name and I'm the only english-speaking male within it.

Anyways, I have a suggestion for recycling old screennames that have not had much useful activity. The two names I was interested in have not been accessed for several months -- nor have they made any major contributions to the website in the months that they have been here.

I am thinking that there should be some system that would free up screennames due to a lack of posting or inactivity. Perhaps over a span of 3 months, a person should get 50 points? I figure if they can't get 50 points within 3 months, then they probably aren't even coming back to the site. If they are, then that will at least make them have a little contribution -- it isn't THAT hard to vote for a few pics, post a little into the Forum, or upload some pictures.

Who else agrees with this or who else dislikes it? Or a better question, since I have a tendancy to write rather incoherantly: does my suggestion make any sense?

i like the idea....but i think 50 is high....it could lead to a bunch of spam and stupid requests....id say 10 points every 3 months or you lose your account....thats 5 posts in the forums, or ten comments in babes/cars/news....or a hundred votes!

I hate to make his head bigger but Eric is right 50 is a lil high...10 is a good number

Good idea!

As for the spamming: How about the points counting backwards, when you have, say 5-7-10 posts in a thread?
That would elliminate the "going for Demigod"-threads.
Offcourse sometimes a thread is worthwhile, like "nudity in strange circumstances" "itty bitty titties" and so. But it´s my impression that the posters in these aren´t in it for points?(the good guys and girls)

It's really very simple. If someone hasn't logged on in 3 months, then delete them.

But WBW won't do that because they want bragging rights as to the number of members they have. So it's all a moot point.

(offtopic)what spam thread? i havent been in any spam threads.
and just so you know, the point of the forum is to talk. sometimes in conversations the topic changes a bit...that leads to more interesting conversations. but when some self riteous a**holes feel the need to point out everytime someone when something goes mildly off topic, it makes it very difficult to enjoy your self here. so, if you dont like what i am saying, ignore it, or PM me. i have said this to you before, but you never respond to me. so, gas, i say again, stop pointing out when people are off topic, no one cares, and no one needs you there to point it out. if you feel i have said something out of line in a thread PM me about it, lets talk about it. i have no problem with you other than the fact you tend to show up just to push others buttons or not be involved at all except to say "offtopic" and in the meantime others are contributing interesting conversation. im sorry for the f-u symbol...i will delete it, it was done in haste. i would really prefer to count you among my danish friends around here, rather than....well, anything else.
