Shoutbox

That's how it was done last time, although I can't remember whether users had one week or two to confirm that they wished to keep their accounts.

It wouldn't suprise me if the same system is used next time a major prune is required.

Actually, that system was never really used. The users who didn't "re-activate" were never actually pruned.

tbh i think the admins are just too lazy or probaly dont have the time. I woudn't want to do it if I were admin

Actually, thinking back...I've got my wires crossed haven't I.

I remember now, that system was to make sure email addresses were real, not that users were active.  Nevermind.
