Can't we delete some of the really old accounts that people have never used?

SionWaldramino	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 8:00 AM According to the main page DM has 572112 users, how awesome is that?? Well, actually it's not that awesome, is it? There are so many accounts where someone joined and then never logged on once - and some of these are 3 or 4 years old! Or even older! And they've taken some really cool names (eg God, SomeoneStoleMyPenis, Motherfucker, BadMotherfucker, leprechaun-chick) that no one else can now use! Can't we get rid of some of them? If they've never used their page it's not like they're going to lose anything. Plus then I could finally use my real name: BadMotherfucker
kingo	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 8:15 AM This place has gone completely fucking sideways. Aside from that, old accounts are awesome. We should just leave them there, divvy them up, and give all the regulars a stack of old accounts to play with, letting those regulars reset the passwords to whatever they want.
desiderata	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 10:11 AM Like a lot of sites, I'm pretty sure DMusic won't let you have a username with fuck in it. After all, someone running around advertising motherfuckingtitfuckcuntpussybitch.dmusic.net doesn't exactly lend legitimacy to DMusic ...
kingo	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 10:14 AM Fuck legitimacy, let's just get high and rip off our limbs.
Alstroph	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 10:34 AM Yeah that's why a lot of the profane names are snatched up. As Desiderata said it wouldn't look nice for the site. But some of these accounts do need to go. Since there is no maintenance It's becoming a god awful mess. There are people who start accounts like heyimapieceofcandy then mess up or something then start heyimapieceofcandy2, heyimapieceofcandy3, heyimapieceofcandy32562, heyimapieceofcandy27654. I don't know what they're doing wrong... but if you watch the Interact page you can see all of these crazy people signing up. If furiousBall or leflaw wants I wouldn't mind going through and starting to get rid of some of these... or at least making a list of worthless inactive accounts that have never been used.
imemine	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 11:03 AM That would only leave about 47.3 members.
kingo	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 11:05 AM Thank you!!! It's so cool how you perceptively perceive things such as my .3ness. A less thoughtful person would think it'd be 48 with me here.
imemine	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 11:07 AM I thought I was the .3
kingo	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 11:08 AM OH FINE THEN SO YOU'RE JUST NOT AS PERCEPTIVE AS I THOUGHT MAYBE JESUS I GIVE UP IT'S TIME FOR PANTS AGAIN.
K3VIN	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 11:13 AM if only 42 members are left.. im guessing thatll leave like 10 unsuscribed... 5 suscribed.. adn the rest admins
kingo	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 11:14 AM That's pretty funny.
SionWaldramino	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 12:13 PM Desiderata, those user names I mentioned really do exist, you know! http://god.dmusic.net http://someonestolemypenis.dmusic.net http://motherfucker.dmusic.net http://badmotherfucker.dmusic.net http://leprechaun-chick.dmusic.net As well as these accounts (which also have never been accessed): http://fuckdmusic.dmusic.net http://cuntybollocks.dmusic.net http://hitlerliveson.dmusic.net http://purplevaginaofdoom.dmusic.net Purple Vagina of Doom?!! What in the holy name of Harry Dean Stanton is that about?? And then they didn't use the account once. Not. Once. What on earth is the point?
shadowself	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 12:29 PM It's a virgin purple vagina. Don't make fun.
SimonWaldram	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 12:30 PM It's a what?
MinisterofSc...	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 12:37 PM What about sites that haven't been accessed (sp?) in a couple of years or so, but have music? Those should be left, shouldn't they? As they do contain music, so it seems at least a little important.
GeneHilbert	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 12:37 PM Damn.......! cuntybollocks is taken.... fuckdmusic...... is a classic we should hold a raffle with that one...
kingo	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 12:39 PM Absolutely the things with music should be left. That's my , anyway.
SimonWaldram	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 12:40 PM I totally agree
SionWaldramino	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 12:42 PM I agree, too
kingo	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 12:52 PM that makes almost six cents.

kyodylee	Date: May 6, 2006 @ 4:15 AM I say we keep God. We need God. and maybe also ... http://lesbiandisney.dmusic.net/

Dexter	Date: May 8, 2006 @ 4:20 AM Yes Vic Everybody needs a hobby But what about the really old accounds that people don't use?
Svensta	Date: May 8, 2006 @ 8:22 AM I spoke to God on here, actually. And I'm nearly certain he can't come back.

Rodrica	Date: May 8, 2006 @ 10:23 AM Go on...let rh delete them all
Dexter	Date: May 8, 2006 @ 10:25 AM Too busy deleting bogus artist accounts! Found one with 29 songs this morning! None of which should have been here!
kingo	Date: May 8, 2006 @ 10:29 AM Users who post news article things sometimes show up as having never been here. So I don't think deleting never-been-heres is a hot idea.
jess1561	Date: May 8, 2006 @ 10:50 AM Article Posts: 0 User Posts: 0 Artist Comments: 0 Shoutbox Posts: 0 Forum Posts: 0 Pageviews: 3 That's what most of these accounts look like... So why the hell do we need to keep 'em
ShadowMom	Date: May 8, 2006 @ 12:47 PM How do I delete my user account? User accounts are archived in the database and will not be deleted. Users may simply abandon the account, and it will fade away into history.

PrincessTast...	Date: May 8, 2006 @ 8:00 PM What about those "interns at Universal Music" who join just to spam the forums ONCE with a promotion for Beck or Black Eyed Peas or whoever-with-a-major-label-record-deal-RIAA-type, then they (the user) are never seen or heard from again?
Dexter	Date: May 9, 2006 @ 3:52 AM I see them and them when I do! @
Svensta	Date: May 9, 2006 @ 9:47 AM Just a simple thread delete and they are forgotten. If I see a thread duped, I delete the dupe. If I see it duped into 3 or more forums, they ALL get it. Buh bye.
ESMissMurder	Date: May 9, 2006 @ 6:59 PM dont delete me! I try to go on as much as i can but my computer has a viris. see, see, im here!!!
TameasDust	Date: May 9, 2006 @ 7:42 PM http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html get avast the free edition and get rid of your virus
TameasDust	Date: May 9, 2006 @ 7:43 PM by the by Norton really really really sucks
AthenasGhost	Date: May 10, 2006 @ 11:08 PM People make those accounts, just to see if the name is taken, if it's not, they will register and never use it again, trust me, I have done it, I use cool names, but I also have a better account on a site, I use the better one, and never go back to the one with the cool name.
SimonWaldram	Date: May 18, 2006 @ 5:43 PM I think I've done a complete 180 on this issue in the last week, and I'm struggling now to work out why I was ever bothered about all these unused accounts. After all, they bring a little anarchy to the site, and that's never a bad thing really
kingo	Date: May 18, 2006 @ 6:08 PM Now you're talking.
Orion	Date: May 19, 2006 @ 8:05 AM in orion or kyle there's like 40 unused accounts thats why my name is orion-9288 someone made an account as orion and never used it!!
ShadowMom	Date: May 19, 2006 @ 8:14 AM Can be done, Orion.
ShadowMom	Date: May 19, 2006 @ 8:25 AM 'Tis done...
lookin4romeo	Date: May 20, 2006 @ 6:42 PM HOW ABOUT DELETING PEOPLE WHO HAVENT BEEN HERE BUT ONCE OR TWICE....THAT ONLY USED DMUSIC FOR STALKING PURPOSES...AHEM, http://bluesong4j.dmusic.net/
Cryxan	Date: May 20, 2006 @ 9:00 PM Old accounts aren't a "mess." They are invisible unless you specifically seek them out.
ChillinBuzz	Date: May 21, 2006 @ 2:07 AM This sounds familiar... I dunno why I didnt post before. And yes, Sven, I also spoke to God once... I am pretty sure he ISNT coming back here, at least, not in that incarnation
SimonWaldram	Date: May 21, 2006 @ 8:26 AM Screw God, when's Jacob Siegal coming back?
ChillinBuzz	Date: May 21, 2006 @ 9:15 AM he already is. now we pray it will be a shorter comeback...
