seeing as around half of new spidweb members post once then leave and never come back we should have a system where if you don't post anything for say 3 months their account gets erased adding the benefit of spidweb having more available bandwith to use -------------------- Visit the RIFQ Forums Posts: 462 | Registered: Tuesday, June 21 2005 07:00 |

Firstly, what SW is constantly tight on is server space, not bandwidth. (So we're told, anyway; it seems odd, but there you go.) Secondly, a new account probably takes up not inordinately more server space than this thread. In terms of overhead, there's the profile page and that's about it. Also, there have been plenty of people who left for months or years and then came back.

Accounts stored on a disk somewhere have nothing whatsoever to do with bandwidth, whereas your posting this topic about them did, in fact, consume bandwidth. That said, I don't think deleting accounts is recommended on UBB, though I'd have to ask with Drakey. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

If I — by some strange and unforseen string of events — wind up in a coma, I don't want to wake up half a year from now to find my Spiderweb Software user account gone.

Yea, I didn't use this account for a long time. I registered, posted once, and then ages later decided to return. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

An usused account doesn't even take up a web page. Just a database row. I wouldn't worry about pruning accounts for now. If they start to get out of hand later, maybe. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

The problem with that is that a lot of people lurk for months before actually posting. They'd be a little pissed if their account just disapeared. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

I agree. In fact, I think every account should be deleted. Lurkers only. -------------------- "Like most of life's problems, this one can be solved with bending" Posts: 287 | Registered: Tuesday, August 19 2003 07:00 |

quote:UBB has this feature built in, actually. Given how it works out, I think deleting accounts would be a very bad idea. Among other things, it woudl wreak havoc either on order (member #71 joined long after member #449?) or on numbers (You were #3020 yesterday, but 1039 deleted accounts have moved you to #2762 today). No thanks. I think Spiderweb can spare some server space for our mental well-being. —Alorael, who was going to say "for our sanity." He was trying to make a point, though, and not through irony.

No, you cannot delete my account! No! Don't even try it. Even if it does have lower-than-average karma. However, I doubt account deletion has any effect on member numbers there just ends up being no account with that number anymore. That means that none of you will ever accomplish your life's purpose of getting account 4614. :P -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Aran? Smartest guy here? Pfft. I'll have you know that many people are cleverer than Aran. Aran just gets big ideas about his greatness, and everybody falls for it. Well not me. I use words like "cleverer" and phrases like "'til the cows come home". Therefore, I put it to you that I am better. (Only kidding Aran! :P ) As for number 42, I don't remember him/her - I looked at his/her profile (Kam... something) but I still don't recall... And besides, numbers 666 and 1984 would be much cooler. -------------------- Everybody knows, but nobody understands. Thus endeth this post. Posts: 2864 | Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00 |

quote:The fact that someone is calling me the smartest here is merely flattering. The fact that someone else argues that and then says he was joking is outright scary. Seriously, the boards aren't such a load of duffers. Look at Thuryl. Alorael. Alec. ef. Saunders. Hell, TM. Spiderweb is a place where genius (as well as idiocy of course...) accumulates like uranium in an enrichment plant. And Kamakaski (I keep confusing him with Kakashi) is either gone or banned, can't remember which. Maybe banned, unbanned and left or something. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!
