what about those of us who have profiles just to be able to use the chat boards? there would have to be a different way to do that.

the problem is, i dont know which profiles are old profiles as there is a weird error that sometimes causes timestamps not to be updated when people login. apart from that i had complaints of people who discovered their profile was deleted after 1 year without logging in as they wanted to keep it or used to read the messages via inbox notifications just didnt bother to login as there was nobody they were interested in...(women especially)

Only way around that would be to make it clear on registration that they would need to be active in order for their accounts to stay open. That doesn't help with all the current members though, lol.

I guess if they say they read their flirtbox email, then they'd get the warning right?

but a "typical single" will be single again every 2-3 years ....and then they would have to create a new one every time they are single again?

sooner or later you will be able to "inactivate" a profile for a specific time (if you are in a relationship )

I sent off a flirty mail to one of the girls on this site yesterday. Today I log in to see if I got a reply. I didn't and thought nothing of it until I checked her "Last Login" - 14/09/2004 !
It seems that you can be a passive member for years? Is there any way to deactivate or at least put up a warning or such?
I rather see some sort of sleep mode after six months which the member can activate again should he/she log in.

Could these be limited to people who have logged in recently, for example within last 2 or 3 months?

This is just to reduce the number of dormant profiles I will look at from the random profiles.
seconded!

I think the desire to filter dormant profiles is a valid one but there could be many reasons why an account is dormant.

I think some dfferentiation should also be made between the length of time between the account being set up and falling dormant. The shoorter that time, the more likely it was either a fake/false account in the first place or someone who tried the site, lost interest and not coming back.

The other thing that could be born in mind is if the account has inbox notifications active. Someone could easily have stopped visiting the site due to lack of regular responses and set inbox notifications to active so they are notified if someone tries to contact them In which case I would say if inbox notifications are active, the profile should remain active (unless the flirtbox site finds the notifications bouncing).

Was just thinking of posting a similar thread and very much agree - This is a MUST HAVE addition to the website. Been here just over a year and have waisted hours and hours reading replying to out of date profiles.


the alarming thing is only 20% of profiles have been active this month and only 40% this year. i've checked.
