Beside IPS would have flushed the account for being idle thinking it was a spammer or something.

September 29, 200717 yr I believe our current setting is once every 30 days, which we think is adequate. Last time we allowed more, people were changing their names constantly which makes it very difficult to keep up. Also, we don't delete old accounts to enable people to take the username, unfortunately it's a first-come first-gets system :)
