Good evening all.
I decided some time ago to delete all the usernames that hadn't been verified. This means, all those people that signed up to the forums but didn't validate their email addresses.
This might have been for a number of reasons:
1. The email address never existed;
2. They got the email address wrong;
3. The registration email went into their spam folder and they never saw it.
In any case, I was trying to summon up the courage to delete these usernames. Summon up the courage because this was approximately 700 members I think!
Anyway .... I've gone and done it!
We're now done to just under 3000 verified members.
I'm happy with that!
It frees up some usernames, reduces the size of the forum database, and more accurately reflects the membership of the forums.
