What happens to an account after a prolonged period of inactivity?

Hello mate, please, what happens to an account after a long inactivity? Can anybody please clarify my thought since I am worried? I am a new member here; a buddy welcomed me into the forum, and I was inactive due to phone challenges.

As far as I know "NOTHING" serious would happen. 
I mean frankly speaking, what could go wrong if you were inactive! You could basically log back in anything. So I wouldn't worry much.

The only thing, that might happen due to long inactivity is that your "activity count" may freeze which would affect your ranking up process.
But you can unfreeze that, so no worries there.

Our forum ranking is based on the activity.

Thus the activity would freeze before passing to a new rank if not all requirements are met.

- Online presence: are you present on the forum often, or just logging in posting the out.

In another thread, you asked how to restore an account because you forgot your password. Are you referring to this account or another one? I'm a bit confused as to why you ask what happened after a prolonged period of inactivity before asking that. You should be able to see what happened to your account after months of inactivity (judging from your post history).

As long as you have your login details and your password you can always access your account. I'm not particularly sure if this forum indicates if a particular profile was inactive for long and suddenly becomes active.

Yeah I don't think it would actually be much of a problem since if you should return back and be fully active it would probably unfreeze sooner than you think.

I don't think there is, CMIIW. Kinda makes sense if trading activity between forum members isn't that high. If the forum becomes even more popular, I think it will be nice to have. Similar to what Bitcointalk has, that 'flag' an account whenever someone recently woke up, changed his password, etc. It helped me notice an odd activity from an account I used to know.

Like others have said, you literally have nothing to worry about mate, so long you can remember your login details, you are always welcome to use the forum at your will.

As far as I know, there is nothing to worry about that, like the activity you have done—how can it decrease or remove after long inactivity? If you are worried about account termination after long inactivity, there is also nothing to worry about that as well! You can post whenever you want. Your account is like your personal asset that you can use anytime you want.

What to worry about here about your account is that do not post anything phishing, don't spam anywhere. These kinds of activities affect your account health! Other than that, there is nothing to worry about regarding account inactivity! CMIIW!

There is nothing that will happen to your account that is much that I know of, but one thing certain, when returning to making the account active again, you'll need to check on some rules about the forum, if things are still the way they were when you left, compared to when you've returned. This is one mistake that happened to my account in Bitcointalk forum, which lead to me being blacklisted/banned in that forum till today.

So, depending on how long you take a leave from the forum, try as much as possible to go through the rules and regulations guiding the forum, to know what to and not to do in the forum when you return. It is said that change is constant and it is certain that the forum rules will or might have some new changes as time goes on, which new/old inactive accounts will likely want to know to avoid penalties that might follow suite.

He never responded to the thread again so I’d only assume that it’s a different account because I don’t think it’s possible for him to post and ask that kind of question with the account that he’s unable to access  And also, this account creation date isn’t too long for him to be bothered about inactivity.

You are a newbie so why are you worried? Are you planning to be inactive for a long period of time? Well there will be no problem on that but who is coming back with the account will be unknown. But it will be detected from different tools. But that should not be a bothering something for you but you have to focus on building the account to a good reputation and standard.

The forum is not a bank account that will become dormant, neither is there any rule that you must come online every day and make a post to keep your account active, as far as I know. If you have an account in the forum and you decide to go offline for a while for reasons best known to you, whenever you decide to come back to the forum is okay.

snip CMIIW!

There obviously is a consensus among members that not using your account for a long time doesn't have adverse effect on the account. However, I've been trying to figure out what you guys mean by CMIIW since two members have already posted it twice in the course of this topic. Do you care explaining what it means? Thanks.

I don't know on what ground you are asking this question or you ha e to elaborate it foe us to get the clear picture of what you mean. Because in the nutshell of the inactive account for years can still wake up and continue their activities but active forum users will have to notice somethings on the account. The previous typing style and the boards the former hands were posting and if everything is accurate then you are clean to continue from where you stopped.

And if it found out that the account has changed hand then you have to be giving a warning by badge or look alike. Though I don't know how it is done but I know that something must be done. But if everything is okay, nothing will be done to the account.

It simply means 'correct me if i am wrong'.

Why are you worried about something like this. It is your account, just like other accounts you have on other platforms, all you need is your login details to access your account anytime. This is nothing to worry about.

So another post where you are highlighting one keyword and that is you are new member here and you have nothing to do with this forum, as any old member. You are new. Well, if you are new, or not, it does not matter, this forum is like a community, no one is against anyone, but the rules here are must be followed otherwise moderators here are going to deal.

Speaking of inactivity, there is no problem in abandoning your account for a shorter period or longer period because no one can touch it, you can use it anytime, it is yours, do whatever you want to do, whenever you want to use it. But keep one thing in mind, this forum takes online time, karma, quality of posts and etc. factors into account to rank you.
