Hey Guys,
Apparently a few people thought they were "Banned" from our forum so we are going to clear this up.
About a 8 days ago, we installed an Inactive User Panel which will automatically lock out accounts after 7 days for those with a 0 post count. Thereafter, if you do not post for a year, your account gets locked.
It is the Administrators responsibility to delete the accounts, as the script does not automatically perform this action. So when the account is marked inactive by the script, you are theoretically banned / blocked from logging in. We then come in maybe once a week to clear out the names it lists.
This is to ensure we have an accurate count of Active users, so we know if and when we need to upgrade either the server or the software to deal with the workload.
Thanks for understanding, and please if you are going to have an account here, POST DAMNIT! The forum is blocked to guests for the pure reason of giving you an advantage for signing up and reading the forum. Active users will have chances to win stuff, but why should we choose someone inactive?
If you have any questions, feel free to PM KillerPenguin, Insomniac, Hopefordeath1, or Ayumi.
