O.P. Please update your profiles
Hi,

The server is currently trying to send out 7,000 emails which have bounced because of users using invalid email addresses.  As you can easily imagine, this puts an immense load on the server.  Please go to your profiles and update your email addresses to a valid one.

In one week, on Monday, May 19, an email will be sent out to all email addresses on file in the database.  At that time, any bounced messages will result in an immediate automatic account deletion from the server.

Please update your email addresses within a week to avoid accidental deletion of valid accounts.

Thank you,
SonicBoom (myBulletinBoard Staff)

Well, I'm hoping SonicBoom doesn't go crazy and start deleting thousands of accounts, even those of people who visit often... I'll be kinda mad if he does... :P

Anyway, I have backups of all user accounts.

Only invalid accounts. If you entered a fake address, you might be deleted. Otherwise, you don't have to worry.

The mailing is to be sent monday.  If you don't want your account deleted, simply update it with a valid email address.  I doubt thousands of registrations will be pruned, but if it happens, it's worth it.  The server can't keep trying to send out 7,000 emails.

thanks.
