we can send the bills to lottery that way everyone has a chance to get them but not all at once like 3k a game or something. IMO the true benefit will be a cleaner site. less frustration when looking for a users name. it will help keep an eye out for multi accounts. im not saying that u cant tell if there are any or not but just incase there are some out there this will get rid of there multies so next time they wana do it they will get busted.

imo sending bills to lottery would be a disastrous idea.. just lock the account and send them an account activation mail.. their account can be restored when they click that link.. till then, their account can have a tag called "Inactive" similar to the tags for "Ant Clan", "Ant Team", "Banned", etc.. that way, site is more organized and if they do come back, their account is all safe..

ok forget the loto idea but what about if the accounts never become active again. are they just to be called inactive and never looked at again or should there be a time limit as to how long they have to restore there account. this is were it can get a little (IMO out of hand) after lets say over 100 to 200 inactive accounts on the site it may be posted up on google or anything the people come to check out the site and see 100 active users and 200 - 300 inactive accounts what would become of us then?

Just thought I'll add my 2 cents
I agree with an eMail letting the user Know if they have been inactive for 30 days.This will encourage them to come back and start posting and trading etc.If they dont come back,then they don't want to be here and then this site is not for them imo.

Just and idea for under the Avatar(I dont know how hard this would be to add in)
Put under the Avatar a Last Login:(date/time)to me this will help users know if u bid on an item you'll know they are active and wont have to wait too long for a response.Coz some peeps put up a F/t list and never heard of again.(This might save the hassel of going to the users profile and having a look to see how active they are)

Example,
User#:

Last Login:(date/time)<----Good idea or not?

It may be possible but hardly needed, just go to their profile it will tell you there.

My 2 cents : P
I'm also with Grim on the email of the link to restore an
inactive acct. IF this absolutely must be done. Tagging
them inactive will make them stand out, but doesn't accomplish
anything furthur. Probably just more work. XD I do have
to say that it will probably make the site much cleaner to
rid it of all of the inactive accts and basically quarentine them.

I did not read all responses here just would like to say why re-invent the wheel. There is forums where if user not active in 180 or xxx days (Did not login) They recive an E-Mail stating "Account will be closed in xx days. Due inactivity. Please login to forum..."

word. o the bills subject, if they have bills, its mainly cuz they donated, aka vip. and are safe, its the rand ppl who create an account here just to say something like runner suck, or why is clan ant so GFG, or to conspire hate. i am talking to get rid of the countless accounts on the forums madly inactive due to randomness. kinda like a "membership" type of program. if you vest no time here.....then right-click delete so to say, but i do like the auto-generated emails stating you have been inactive for "XX" days, log in now to preserve your account on Antfamous.net Kthx!

The auto generated emails we remind the haters every 90 days that

this is already a function I can do on the site. is send emails to inactive users. I will discuss with team on what to do.
