• But... I no longer have TraditionalChineseCalligraphy as my email address because it was stolen from me by an American RObot system. So instead I now run www.RaggedyBird.com, and cannot log in to here with TCC or with Calligraphy as a username.
  I do not understand. Could you please help.
  My email address is now either RaggedyBird@Yahoo.com or Art@RaggedyBird.com
  My name is Neil Armstrong.
  My Telephone number is available on request if you need verification.
  I considered my membership very important here and hence my effort to find my original login once more.
  Thankyou very much.
  N. Armstrong.

I'm sorry to hear of your predicament. I did a quick search for your username, but didn't find anything. If your account had no posts, it might have been deleted by the admins in an attempt to streamline the amount of forum members, which used to be done every six months. Much more likely, is that your old account might have been lost in one of the various hacking scandals we've had over the years. One of the admin staff will be along soon to help resolve the issue.

Hi Neil,

I'm not sure I understand your problem. I've just looked you up and found: Display Name TCC Log In Name Calligraphy Password ************ Email Address
raggedybird@yahoo.com




Would you like me to give you a new temporary password? Or change your username, or...?

@f0ma: why do the admins delete inactive accounts?

@f0ma: why do the admins delete inactive accounts?

 

Umm, I'm not entirely sure. I imagine streamlining inactive accounts helps out on the technical side of things, but I don't know the details. In any case - although it is forum policy -, it's something I don't think we've been doing for a while.

[Korin]

What does streamlining inactive accounts mean? I think we should just leave them alone and just delete/ban the ones that spam like the one recently, it's good it hasn't been done for a while. Cause accounts should just stay even if they are inactive and no posts, they should only go if they are spammers, even then just block them from the forum but don't delete their account I guess... because of the hacking scandals that happened over the years, we lost a lot of accounts so yeah... It's nice to see like 11,200+ accounts tho. I wonder if there was more

 

anyways,  the most important of this post is about the streamlining.

I delete acounts that have been inactive for 5 years. These people have clearly moved on to other things. They can always rejoin if they wish to return. We don't need a big bloated number of members who never contribute anymore.
