Someone said accounts used to be deleted automatically if they weren't used for a certain amount of time. I dunno about that idea - if you had a Z, then sold it and dropped out of the scene, then got another, it would be nice to return with your original name. It's the people who signed up in 1999, viewed 15 messages on that day, then never logged in again that I wish would disappear - what a waste. I browse the members list occasionally and find tons of them.
