    If and when he does, that user name will be sent to the Hall of Fame and retired from use by any other.

    Despite my occasional frustrations round here, it'll take murder or permanent injury before I stop posting :D

    Kind words, my friend. Much appreciated. I'm only 26, and I'd like to think there's many a year left in me yet :)

    normally i'd wait at least 1 year of inactivity before just yanking somebody's account from under them.

    I am not aware of a policy we might have for or against it, but 7 mos. is not an unreasonable amount of time to make a decision on.

    If V1 ever comes back and has a problem, I'm sure we can rectify it.

    The fact that he has been logging on for the past 4 years makes a difference. Did anybody checked to make sure he had posting privileges and maybe that was the reason why he has not made any posts over the past 4+ years? And how do you suppose he is going to know his new login name requires a 1 added if he was use to logging in as just vampyre all these years? How would he even know to complain?

    The bottom line is we just yanked a 4+ year old account from somebody who was using it and gave it to somebody else. I find that troublesome when we start taking accounts that aren't ours and giving it to somebody else without at least asking the person who was using it if it was ok. At least put in an effort to contact that person and see if it is ok with them first. If they don't reply after a week or so then proceed but to just arbitrarily take it like that is highly unfair.
