New strategy for database cleanup and a new skin

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE. Everyone, regardless of whether or not they think they already have, must go to "Account Info", then "Edit Preferences". Select a skin to use as your default and hit submit. I repeat, do this even if you think you have done it before. When the site goes down for upgrading, I am going to start deleting the bulk of accounts that fit the following model:
-The account has a non-existent skin selected as default, assuming that the account has no stories, the account has left no reviews, and is over six months old.
-The account has an invalid email address or username.

As always, duplicate accounts are being deleted constantly. Do not sign up for more than one account.

There are 7353 accounts with non-existent skins selected as their defaults. However, 6014 of them are PhotoBooth. Please change to another skin. It will help us weed out truly abandoned accounts.

To avoid confusion, accounts with the following selected as default (mainly skins from version 1.0) will begin to be deleted in the next few days: default2, Romance, 3column, DGArchive, DGArchiveWide, mistletoe and SlytherinsBride. I'm giving more time - until the site upgrade after 21 July - to the 2.0 skins, eFiction and PhotoBooth.

The currently valid skins are: Snitch, Valentine, Blanket, and the black and white version of Snitch that has just debuted, thanks to Foreveress and elyaeru.

Thank you for helping us to make the site run smoother.
