Cleaning up the user database may speed up access, but on the downside... Some ancient posts may become "posted by anonymous."

I dont see what the big deal is... why does it matter if some old posts get orphaned? if it  helps the it helps the site... this isnt a antique shop is it?

So how many accounts got deleted? How many registered users does a.org have now?

Surely you can be more informative than 'thousands"?

How about if I say please?  ;-)

Another point:

any PM's posted by the now deleted users are now "anonymous"

Not that it's bothering me tho :-D

Speaking of which, does anyone know what ever happened to Simplex?

He used to be a major contributer here but his account has been deleted for some time.

I liked the discussions I used to have with him. We rarely agreed but it was always interesting and he gave me a different perspective on a few things.

Simplex - if you're out there watching this, come back!  :-)

Mine was removed.  :-x

I havent logged on for a while, but it was certainly within the last year. I check the site every day though.

I've re-registered now, but i've lost my posting information (number of posts, etc.)  :madashell:

Good. I was thinking about that the other day.
After I went through the list in the email area, trying to find just 2 names - it took so long :(
