I was wondering if the moderators would consider removing old accounts? Every day there are a list of birthdays and anniversaries for people who have not logged onto the forum in years; out of the first eight anniversaries listed, only one person has logged on since 2010, and one of the old users has been banned. Can we/should we remove old accounts if the person has not logged on for, say five years or more? If we remove the old accounts it would shorten the list of birthdays and anniversaries, that's for sure. Then the milestones for active users would be easier to see. Would there be any other benefits? Would it be possible to delete the accounts without deleting posts associated with them? If accounts are removed then those user names should not be reused, lest a new user grab an old name and be confused with the old user. Would it even be possible to delete the account but leave the names unavailable? Are there any other negative impacts I'm not thinking of? These questions are not only to the mods, but to the forum as a whole. I'm wondering if others agree with me, or if I'm way off-base in suggesting this.
