Forum does not need to run a "check" for users that aren't active. Important announcements could be a good "email" to remind user about the important news in the forum, but I don't think that's worth implementing at all for just a such feature. It is not like LinkedIn where you could use the emails such as "who viewed your profile" or "new jobs for
Topic: Why are there lots of accounts that seem abandoned? - page 3. (Read 503 times)
Yeah, like mk4 just mentioned. It just pretty much users that are just doing their own lives. Their lives does not revolve in the forum anyway just like in any other social media sites.

You did enough justice to the question and it's fair enough but if it was just about forgotten password, I think that can be recovered expect cases when you don't have access to your email
The account ownership can be verified by the original email that was used during registration or the Bitcoin address published in a post that has not been modified.On the forum, there are an unknown number of people with an unknown number of accounts. Some prefer to use one account despite having more than one account, while there are many active accounts controlled by one person.
The forum supports privacy and does not have the duty to encourage users to explain their absence in any way.
Probably the same exact reasons why people abandon their social media accounts? Mostly the fact that they're either got bored, or they forgot their login credentials and didn't care enough to gain back access to the accounts.
back in the early days of bitcointalk, the forum allows users to register without verifying accounts from email.
you as a user can register with an email you can create on the spot like random letters. for example [email protected] and you can already use the forum. if you forget the password, you have no way of recovering the account. and so if you want to participate again, you will have to register another account.

But I have spent about either a year without coming online, even if I comes online I will only read the latest update and goes off but at the case of abandoning account for about 3 to 4 years not pretty cool but nevertheless nothing much should be your concern towards this rather to get educated the more, forum is actually large enough to locate your study areas and put interest to contribute on.
Thank you.
Now lemme use myself as a reference here, if a user abandoned there account have it in mind either they are occupied with work in the office or and most of them find it very hard to comply with the rules possibly the new law of ranking. Some lost their phone or system whereby it was very hard to start affresh why some could found it time consuming due to lack of patient coupled with family pressure.
Yes all this things I explained are also some reason for not being active most especially me, my coming back was due to less activities and I have not been to strong going to stress myself rather than just catching cruise around the forum.
So just as Neuroticfish already explained, here is a total privacy which whatever the owner do doesn't really affect rather maybe from close relatives Information could be revealed about such users so will suggest you don't bug yourself that much rather than devoting time read some helpful material.

You're points are understood but I guess you haven't stayed away for a year or more, just my guess but I've seen some very highly ranked accounts staying off for over three years or more, when we still have people like myself still trying to grow and t me it's a call for concern
Can you refer me to that very topic please?

It's advised you also sign a message with that address. You can refer to this discussion for more info on that: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/a-lil-trouble-in-staking-an-address-5420452
It doesn't seem right to me if an account that has been grown with so much efforts upto a hero rank and it will be abandoned because of death.
I think sure account is worth inheritance and could be passed to relations left behind.

Actually no. If an account changes hands it may get tagged (red feedback). Getting other's account in most cases ends bad from attempts to scam to people thinking the new user is more knowledgeable than he actually is.
It's not that difficult to grow an account and it's the honest way. It also comes with gathering knowledge on both bitcoin and the ways of this forum.

Maybe I've oversimplified some things (and you do have a good point!), but the overall answer ... I won't change it
Also imho the correct ways to handle the account are:
* use a reputable open source password manager, keep all the passwords there under a strong password you cannot lose
* stake (there's a topic for that) a bitcoin address of yours, in case all the other things go wrong (hack or worse), you can still use that for recovering your account
Can you refer me to that very topic please?

I was also thinking about death as the case but the accounts were much to record the case for just death.
Thanks for your contribution senior
and I really wanted to know if the forum has any provisions to check up on its members either through email or whatever means if a member suddenly stops appearing online.
No, the forum doesn't check on its users. Even more, the forum is privacy oriented, hence the users can easily use it without offering any real information about themselves. So any user information you see may or may not be real.
So when somebody disappears, it can be anything, from broken computer and lost password to giving up the forum for whatever reasons or having personal problems (including death).
If the user has friends in here, they may announce that, but that's also not a rule.
Sorry if this is not the answer you've been looking for or expecting.
I've been going through the forum lately and I've seen alot of accounts that seem abandoned and I've been tempted to know what really happened to them.
I've been seen some high ranked up to hero ranked accounts and so much low ranked accounts that seem abandoned with last login showing over two to three years ago and I really wanted to know if the forum has any provisions to check up on its members either through email or whatever means if a member suddenly stops appearing online.
Please pardon me if this topic has been discussed, and I will be glad if I'm pointed to it So I can know what happened, and hope I'm asking this in the right thread.
