Important: PLEASE UPDATE YOUR PROFILE

[notyoueither]

Derhehehehe.

Last time I checked was 6 months ago, at least. How many people keep the same email account for years on end, AND give that addy to sites they register at on a whim?

I know, I'm a freak and mine still works, but only cause MS still has some inkling of conquering the internet by giving me a service for free, and I use that addy for other things.

Oh this is going to be classic. I await the whining threads with anticipation.

[Skanky Burns]

...The whining threads started by DL's as the main logins will have been banned.
Although I guess some of the people who get banned will figure it out eventually.

[DrSpike]

This must affect loads of people........Mark and co are going to have lots of work to do unbanning all those people.

Say, does this mean inactive posters that don't respond will be removed from the members list?

since they wont be able to post there wont be any whining.

seriously, i havent started banning any account(except from 1-2) and am leaving some time for people to read the announcement and the news. if someone doesnt notice these things, i cant do much about it.

does this mean inactive posters that don't respond will be removed from the members list?

they wont be showing up, correct.

Great, now I can either have ****loads of spam sent to an email address I actually use or leave poly. Brilliant.

But what about when they come back? You know better than to think they will all say "actually the notice was there and I should have updated my address"

Also, before the actual banning starts you might have some, uh, comments.

Your address is not publically available anywhere AFAIK (regardless of whether or not you check that option in the profile). It used to be (ages ago) but it no longer is.

I've always been using my main e-mail address on 'poly and never got any e-mail apart from the occasional "Your PM box is full"

[SpencerH]

I'm not sure I will either (I'm just stirring the pot) but the account that I use for PBEM (and just changed to here) receives none, unlike my home accounts that receive tons. I guess I'll forward anything that turns up to MarKG. I'm sure he wont mind.

email addresses where never publicly availiable. the option in the profile is just on whether someone can acess a form that will allow him to send you email or not. not that he will see your address...
