I forget how to create a new poll :-(

Anyway, just curious as to how long sysop's allow inactive users before deleting them? Mine is set to never expire and I have users in the db inactive for 3+ years

Mine expire in 365 days and are auto-purged.

Short of hitting the tens of thousands mark, I'm not sure it
really matters too much, especially on modern hardware (ssd/nvme).
DM can probably chime in more on this. Really depends on your
usage as much as anything. The web UI seems to give the user db the
most work.

I'm planning on syncing my user data to another database, so will
probably allow indefinite retention or 10+ years myself.
