Old Lurker Accounts Deactivated. Hidden but not gone.

Dear returning Prodigal Lurkers,

If you:
1) Never ever posted on the forum, and
2) Have not logged on since Jan 10, 2011

I have deactivated your account. I do believe that the majority of the 3000 plus deactivations were spambots, which are now vanquished from the visible Memberlist. But I probably axed several legit accounts along the way, and maybe one of them included some crucial Private Messages of yours.

If you are back from a long absence, and your lurker account seems to be missing, don't despair or panic. In all likelihood it is still in the database. If you contact me at SteveEspinola at gmail , we can probably get your account back.

Most or all of those were zapped. However, they still exist on backups. In the extremely unlikely event that you need anything from an old deleted account, I can help.
