I haven't done one of these for a while, so just a quick note to say that I have just done a purge of all the inactive* accounts from the forums. I have left those under a week old to allow people who have just registered to become involved.
We do this occasionally as a spam prevention measure. We get a lot of members signing up for fake accounts and including their business website in their profile to improve their Google page ranking. This is obviously hard to detect, but since the majority of these members either don't post or post spam, doing an occasional clear out like this gets rid of those that don't post, while those that do post have their accounts deleted immediately.
If you had signed up at some point in the past, but haven't made any posts, then please feel free to sign up again. However, if you don't post anything then I can't guarantee how long your account will be around [)] ]'>
Cheers,
