Suggestion: inactive users lockdown?

    Ok. So a problem in TPT is lag, right?
    Maybe, if you suspended user accounts that been inactive for, say, six months to a year (that's a lot of accounts) ( by logging them out automatically, and, when they try to log back on (if they do), say that they will have to re-enter their account details (username, password, email, etc.) to re-activate their account), would t take pressure off of the server, resulting in faster speeds for everyone?
    Just a suggestion.

    hmm, that is a very good idea reguardless of lag or not. that would make things a little more contoled in that way. It would also help in making a members list.

    you are trying to make the SERVER faster, you are not making TPT faster. 'cuz if you tried (and you probably won't) to play it OFFLINE, that same lag will still be there...

    I know that. Just said the wrong thing.
    But we could all definitely be helped by this, though.

    If they are inactive, there would already be no effect on the server, this is pointless.

    I'd be down for allowing names to be released if under a certain post count and inactive for long names.
    Though, this would be at the bottom of the TODO list.

    Fair enough. I thought it might have some effect.

    I like the idea because so many people make 1 or 2 saves then never use powder toy again.

    I agree. This wouldn't really help.
