i was an admin of a phpbb board for a while and it was extremely easy to delete large numbers of members...it was simply a matter of searching for members with less that x number of posts and then "pruning" them
might be different for vbulletin based boards though

In my (sort of) short time here it's been the most suggested thing. It's suggested at least twice a month. Also, it stands to reason that people have seen it being consistently turned down or ignored and decided not to mention it.
What on earth would make Raz change his mind? All those old members coming back and saying they no longer wanted their names, perhaps?

Something that this site does not have, but others do.. And I'd really like to push for is a "Series Writing Sub-Forum" In General Fiction... For Writers to post a series story... It seems to work on other sites I've seen.
Originally posted by PeachHmm, I encountered it quite a few times. And that's just the people actually bothering to make a thread or complain about it in the Suggestion thread (which, obviously is an ever smaller sub set of the already small set of people that even know we have a News and Question Forum).
The number of people who've actually asked for it over time actually isn't very many.
A-also, just for the record...I'm against those names actually being freed up, just...you know...arguing what's correct, imo.
Why does everyone jump to the conclusion that removal is the only possible solution?

I don't see what the problem would be. If someone wants their username, e mail the original user, give them a response time, if they don't respond or respond saying it's okay, then let the username be re administered.
Originally posted by NactousTo be fair...they can just make a new account. Obviously didn't care for it that much if they didn't check it for 3 years.
Perhaps they lost the connection or something personal happened. We don't need to remove them simply because they don't have useless things to contribute every five seconds....
I have a question/suggestion about sig limits. I think a number of people will agree with me when I say the sig size limit is appallingly low; 50kb is really not much space to work with at all, the amount of time I've had to, or have been told by another member, about how they've had to lower their quality to fit within this tiny limit. It also offers pretty much no room to animate: I can't even create a sig with simple scrolling text in the corner without it exceeding 50kb. I don't see why or why it should be this small, as many of the sigmakers here are extremely talented at what they do and should be allowed to express their skill with less restrictions. Even upping it to 100k would be a glad change, even though that is also pretty low either way. I've seen plenty of forums who don't have have restrictions like these, and they don't have aay problems at all in that aspect.
So my suggestion overall is larger sig limits for users, and perhaps even being allowed larger sized sigs as your time on KMC continues, much like the avatar system works.
