Hey guys, I was just wondering but why doesn't Indy Mogul have a user cleanup every once in a while?
Like on the main forum page it says "Members: 13,502, Active Members: 638:
Why wouldn't inactive users for x amount of time be deleted?

Because we never know when they may come back.
And "inactive" doesn't mean that they don't visit. That is just the amount of members that have visited within a certain time frame. The thing is we've got far more "active" members than that, they just might visit every three months so they are currently "inactive" and we don't want to process through thousands of user profiles to figure out which ones are never coming back.
We've had people come back and be semi-regular members after being inactive for more than a year, so it's a bit hard to determine who is truly inactive "forever".
