Xx....-Dark Vamp Writer-....Xx Posted June 17, 2007 Report Posted June 17, 2007 I don't understand but I had an account here but I had re-registered? All my stuff is gone unless there was a tech issue I dont know about. My old post are here and my user name is still the same. Was I banned? I'm confused. Quote
EveKnight75 Posted June 17, 2007 Report Posted June 17, 2007 The database on the forums have just been cleaned out. Users who had remained inactive for at least a year had been cleared from the list. We did this because we had hundreds of inactive users who never even posted or visited after signing up. Feel free to re-register. Just keep in mind that if you let another year pass by without logging in, you'll be deleted from the list again and asked to re-register yet again. Quote
cu-kid9 Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 I understand the need to clean up and make more space, but I'm sure I've posted within the last three months (four at the most). I haven't been active here in awhile, but it certainly hasn't been a year. Was this year based off of last post made, or number of posts made within a year? I really don't mean to sound rude about it, but I was a little discouraged (and irritated, I'll admit) when I tried to log on and found that I had to create a new account. Quote
Guest echtrae Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 You probably did. There was an error in the purge and it took out members who hadn't been active within the last couple of months. Sorry about the inconvenience. Quote
trekqueen Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) Yea seriously... I was here in April!! That's screwy. All my money points I had are lost and all my other stuff as well. What exactly was the problem? I don't get it really cuz I even see a friend I cajoled into joining and she only last posted back in January yet I was here much more recently than that but her account is still in working order. Maybe next time you guys can send an email warning or something? I know there's lots of members but geez... at least give us some warning for those of us who were barely gone 3 months!

Guest echtrae Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 The methodology for the purge is being reviewed and those responsible are to be sacked. OK. That's only partially true. The method of the purge is being reviewed and revamped. Hopefully this won't be an issue again. Quote

Guest echtrae Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 No worries TrekQueen, I'm fairly certain I know the root cause. I will keep your offer in mind and may explore it sometime in the future. Quote
