What do you mean by "files that are not used"?
We don't change usernames because eventually everyone would want it done. And if we changed lots of names, it would become very confusing figuring out who you were talking to. So we don't do it.

he means deleting old users that have either never posted or havent posted in months.
well 1. that would lessen the registered user number 2. they could always come back 3. we just dont and we are admins so :P I think some other admins changed like 2-3 user names before we all decided against it....

I've already trodden this path, Gimli. I really wanted to become Elrohir, but it's about the rules, and without rules, we'd all be up in trees, flinging our crap at each other, as a wise man once said.
About the old user names, I think that would be a good idea; wouldn't it free up space on here, to get rid of old, unused accounts?

I like you being a # brother. You should feel honored that people have given you a nickname. Well not really just YOU obviously.

By someone who's never posted.
But I guess that's not the point.
