cleaning up members

do old, inactive, members get cleaned up after a certain amount of time? alot of members on here havent signed on in like 2 years... You could free up a lot of room on your servers

Nope. We save everything, even if it's old. Even though they're not active they're still a component in the history of the board.

Like Scout said, we save everything. But there's also a feel of leaving the light on. We've had members come back after a few years of inactivity, usually after they've reacquired a jeep. It's nice to come back and find your account still here. Even after the short time I was absent, I appreciated my room hadn't been changed into a office while I was gone.

The only time I would be down with purging old members would be when they had 0 posts. If you purge members their posts show as guest and it's just not worth it. We have plenty of space.
