good point ^. in that case, i vote against it then.

i guess i just figured it would only take a few clicks to do for some reason, but then again i don't know much at all about this sort of thing.

I don't have experience with this either. That's why I say it was just a suggestion figured I would post it just in case it turned out to be a good idea and not a lot of work vs pay off. Which I figure is the biggest factor in changes being made.

Excuse my weird post earlier, but I just wanted to note that I think a big part of those 11.000 members are lurkers who can't access parts of the forum otherwise. You keep saying it "wouldn't take away from there ability to view the website in any manner.", but in fact it does. You can't view the subsections "Coalition for Entheogenic Libery" or "Quality Experience Reports" or "Suppliers". Also you can't view attachments. So I think alot of people register here just to view those things, atleast I did in the past.

As already pointed out, you also can't search.

or in similar words, don't try to fix something if it ain't broken.

There is nothing wrong with all these users and the only valid reason was to free up usernames for new users to take. But again, who says that these new users will be active? And what's the fuzz with the name?

The consensus seems to disfavour the deletion of names, and I am locking this thread before we start going back and forth. Anchry, if you got some important reasons of why inactive users should be deleted, then pass them on to the Traveler or any other mod. For the moment, if it bothers you just do not click the damn link and do not waste your time making statistics

The forum sure offers a million of good things to talk about!
