That small of a userbase and they still nuke accounts for being inactive?

They don't have a monetary incentive to bloat their figures.

Letting people who aren't on all the time keep their accounts isn't really bloating the figures. Deleting you after a few months of inactivity is a dick move yo

Yeah I'd agree that that's a short amount of time. I was moreso just giving my opinion on why a for profit platform may not delete anyone unless they explicitly have to or are asked to

I don't remember what server it was, maybe they had a good reason. I guess around 2016 there was a short boom that resulted in a lot of inactive accounts after a few months..
