From Sunnyneo.com Account purge coming up! TNT has mentioned they'd be deleting a lot of old, inactive accounts in the near future soon, but now we have more info about on how soon this will be. According to an e-mail that has been send to owners of accounts that'll be deleted soon, the purge will take place around August 8th: Hi user, We're sending you this email because you haven't logged in to your Neopets.com account in a while. Unfortunately, that means your account will be deleted on or around 2010-08-09, along with your Neopets, your items, and any other account information. Your Username: user here Your Neopets: neopets here If you wish to keep your Neopets account (hooray!), all you need to do is log in to http://www.neopets.com with your username and PW before 2010-08-09 and your account will be safe. If you'd like your account to be deleted (boo!), you don't need to do anything more. It will be deleted and we'll miss you dearly! We hope to see you in Neopia soon!

It seems this purge will happen to all accounts that have not been used for two years or longer. If you have an old account and you still know it's password, be sure to log into it as soon as possible. So the rumors are true...expect the purge this week!
Hmm.. that means old names will be available again! Better start searching for some old old old frozen accounts that are VWN. Same with neopets.
Oh Yay, i like the account purges, when all those old names come up. WIll try to specifically find some old account names
How old would the accounts have to be to become purged? 1 year, 2 year, 3 year or more? And is it ALL frozen accounts, no matter the reason? What about inactive accounts?
Are you guys ready for the purge tomorrorw? Also, will it be happening at 12 AM tomorrow or just some time during the day? I'm assuming during the day because I'd imagine it would just be a guy sitting at the computer deleting stuff from their database. But what do you guys think?
I'm sure they'll do a little bit at a time throughout the day. That way the site wont explode like when the pound reopened.
Yeah, I'm guessing it's true that it won't be until some time tomorrow (Monday) since Sunday isn't really a work day. They must just have some one sit there and delete stuff lol. Ugh... my parents are gonna be pissed off at me for not leaving my computer for the next couple of days.
Man, this whole thing is so confusing lol. I've heard people say that frozen accounts will not be able to be recreated and neither will the pets on frozen accounts. I'm pretty sure it's not true, but some one said it was in a neopian times editorial. What is everyone else's take on this?
