I made a comment about clearing a number of the current BW Membership names so that more people can get the names they want for the forum...surely this prune should of been done before today since I no doubt a great number of those current usernames aren't used.

This is turning in to a bit of a disaster for some people.

/Looks at DAOC Forum

Hehe, they sound pissed...

Probably not a bad idea to remove all BW membership accounts that have been inactive (e.g. email hasn't been checked) for 3 or 4 months say?

Would have been nice if they would have had nick protection for existing forum usernames in place.

Tell me about it :(
Am still in negotiations with the friendly support folks, as I have never seen another Custodian anywhere in the gaming networks (Barrys, quakenet, wireplay, even blueyonder) in the years I have used it and yet it seems my nick is already in use in the member list.

Anyone ever seen another Custodian?
Point out the imposter so he can be pointed and ridiculed :rolleyes:

They should have linked the databases from day one.

I've seen it done before, so even though I have no idea how to do it. I know it can be done :)

Hiya
I'm sorry we cannot delete membership names at will, although we will be carrying out a purge at some point in the near future. regards Dave aka BigFoot

It's pretty clever how its all linked together - membership, forum, dialup, email etc. I know its just SQL at the end of the day, but its still pretty cool. :)

Just hope they don't accidentally purge any of the current users.

Well, except maybe Bodhi... :D

If this works... then the nice man has explained how I get to keep my forum name even though I can't use it as a membership name, which is a start :clap:

Now.... I wonder if will it ever let anyone else register a membership name that is already a forum name once they release the current block :rolleyes:
