Multiple Accounts

Hey all, another techie-style post. As you may have noticed, we are fast approaching 9000 members. However, I know for a fact that many of those accounts are inactive. Have you tried loading certain pages, especially clicking the "authors" link above, and it's taken forever? (Odds are, yes.) I'm trying to alleviate some of the problem by eliminating multiple accounts. If you know that there is an old account that you were unable to access for whatever reason and created a new one, please email me (lyndsie dot fenele at gmail dot com) and let me know the name of the old account. I prefer you email me from the address used with the old account.

I'm going through the databases and picking up on the more obvious duplicate accounts, so you might be seeing an email from me in the future. I don't want to have to run a script that will delete accounts for me, because a lot of ones people are still using will get axed, so hopefully it won't have to come to that.

So fess up, please, and save me some work! (And maybe, just maybe, we'll be able to use coauthoring without killing the server times!)

I had another username called Inovermyhead55 that I stopped using because when I signed up on it I wasn't 17 yet.

She's not being mean. Having multiple accounts just clogs up the database and can cause the script to run slower. By deleting the other accounts, it saves room for a bigger and better community :)

True that. I have noticed that when I click on the authors tab that it takes longer for the names to appear. I am all for having everything load faster.
