Inactive Accounts - Delete or not to Delete?

[Michael From FearTales]

My board is very small right now, but I won't be deleting inactive accounts. The way I see it is, say you sign up for a site, and you're active for a while, but you get burnt out on it. So you take a break, and that break happens to be for quite some time. All of a sudden, you want to come back to the site but oh no, you can't log in. It'd be frustrating to have to register again!

That, and the whole idea of my board is writing. Some may not be writers, but love to read. These users may never ever post, except on occasion. Maybe they are there just to read what other writers have posted!

Nope,never have never will. People have real lives,away from message,boards and the internet in general. If people take the time to sign up to my forum,then as far as I am concerned,their account will always be there for them. Six months,a year down the line,or longer. If they vanish,they dont need to explain or get permission. ,
I have never had endless rules about how often people must post either. Up to you, post when you want too. Its a message board for Gods sake.
