Old users...

I'm not sure if this was mentioned during sign up, but how long does a user account last if left dormant? Over 2000 users, and over half are inactive! Wouldn't it be better to purge their names after 3 months or something like that to give up some of the names for new users? =)

A lot of inactive users are active lurkers. But you are right, sooner or later the big purge shall take place.
