Ok, I decided to be more conservative and checked (using the very handy perl-script provided by Carnë) the users who have been inactive since April 1 2010. The list is the following: aadler adb014 bluethgen caliari chuongnguyen dfkettle dreisamrd ecm0 esteban319 ficmatinfmag floflooo frli8848 gnumuthu goffioul jgpallero jjstickel jonaphy jordigh josmithiii luqqe mazet opoplawski przykry2004 pvlanspeary rovitotv rrogers rstanchak sebald shuhua simonepernice sis-sou soender stahel stegu t-ca tealev tkasper tom_holroyd tpikonen watsma wsloand before removing anyone, I'll email them directly, but if any of the listed users sees this messages and wants to stop me from from disactivating their account please just let me know. In any case I don't think I would remove some users like adb014 jordigh goffioul gnumuthu if there is even a remote chance they'd like to contribute again I'd like to leave the door open ;) > Søren > > P.S.
