Just because an account has no posts it doesn't necessarily mean that it is unused. There are a lot of features you can't use as a lurker unless you register.

But even the unused accounts do not hurt anyone. The forum runs on a relational database which doesn't slow down much when operating on large amounts of data.

Its no longer possible to vote in GM Community Suggestions unless you have a certain number of forum posts.
  • former Manasource Programmer
  • former TMW Pixel artist
  • NOT a game master

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Actually relational databases don't scale very well... but yeah.... unless you are storing the amount of data Google has, relational databases seem to work fine.

You need at least 20 posts to vote, these accounts have none.

Hi kickinyourface,

As I see you have a good amount of useless accounts, so why not to delete them?
If players are making accounts on forums, they should use it, so I think we need to delete everything without any activities.

I'm a little sure, that some of them are bots.

Cheers, Dark.

Forum accounts are not much of a technical hindrance: there is no need to prune them.
This message used to be meaningful.
