I think so, as i got mine changed from "Saxo_vtr123" as when i joined just "Saxo_vtr" was't available. I think members who joined 2003,2004,2005 and havn't been on in 3 years or so are deleted maybe?

haha i was just actually thinking what was diff about your name lmao, i know memebers that are inactive for a set num of days were deleted but wasnt sure on how you could change yours...not that ive ever looked into it...sax-p thread ftw... or near enough like lol

Not sure about members being deleted after so long as 40+k is a lot of members!
But I think it's pointless having a model after your name as you will prob upgrade!
I used to be blackvtrkev but then got a silver vts so my username seemed silly!
You can rarely go wrong with forename and DoB.

like mine...exactly wor' kid ;) my user name on everything but most is either blackie_2k5 or blackie_2k9(where ive been copied hence chose to re-name lmao;))
but i know what you mean... im sure there is an active member cycle where if i memer is inactive for x amount of days they qualify for deletion but maybe simo or a mod can confirm...alot of sites have deleted the inactive shit now as they still claim revenue for the members in some way..dont know how this works and dont think sax-p does this or there wouldnt be new user names previoulsey taken available now? MODS IF YOU KNOW COMMENT!!!

I think 'Alex' was taken quite early on, then was inactive for ages and when I was a mod I was going to change to that, but didn't get round to it. Then current 'Alex' did a name change.
Was thinking about requesting to get mine changed, but I've been known as SaxoAl all this time, I may aswell keep it as that!
Steve

personally i think the users who havnt been on in a certin amount of time e.g 6months - a year. should get emailed and asked if they will log on state a thread deleting there account and why or even ask them to come back and join the community
sorry if this seems wrong

its not wrong atall, its a setup thats operated on several other forums.
if you dont sign in within a set time period, eg 6 months, you recieve an email to see if you still want to keep your account active, if no response within 4 weeks then a second reminder email is sent, if ain nothing is recieved within 2 weeks then the accounts is deleted.
unless obviously one of the mod team is aware of a reason why the person cannot get online for some reason.
