Just an FYI -- all forum members have been sent a message similar to the following via email (this was copied from an earlier draft of the message ):
Again, if you are reading this message here, then the email does not pertain to you, and you need take no further action; as it states, only those who have not logged in recently are "in danger of being deleted."
Also, accounts of inactive/reservist clan members will not be deleted, but I didn't include that little factoid in the email ; I'd rather see them at least check in and see what's going on here ;D.
And last, to those of you who are inactive/reservists and are reading this because of the email that you received -- I'm sorry for scaring you like that , but I've missed seeing you around here -- so welcome back !
Thank you.
In an effort to better maintain our clan's forum, we will be performing maintenance on the forum membership registration list on Wednesday, June 29, 2005. In this sweep, all users who have not logged in to the -=Of-God=- Clan Forum in the previous 50 days are in danger of having their forum account deleted.
There are two main reasons for this purge. First, it will reduce the amount of information being stored on this forum, and thus make the forum run more smoothly for all those who regularly use it. The second reason is a security issue; those who have not logged in within the last 50 days have not re-authenticated their membership since the upgrade to ProBoards Version 4, and so there remains a security liability for those accounts.
What is required of you at this point? If you have logged in to the -=Of-God=- Clan Forum within the last 50 days, you need do nothing; your forum account will not be deleted; you will be able to continue making positive contributions to the forum.
However, if you have not logged in to the -=Of-God=- Clan Forum within the last 50 days, but you do wish to keep your forum account, you need to log in to the forum before Wednesday, June 29, 2005, in order to keep your forum account from being deleted. If your account is deleted, you may be able to re-register at a later date using the same username; in that case, all of your previous posts would be accredited to your name in the board listings, but your post count and all data that you have entered in your profile would be lost.
Thank you for your assistance with helping the -=Of-God=- Clan keep its forum running at its best.
Sincerely,
Peace-=Of-God=-, Clan Leader / Forum Administrator
