Lots of dead accounts with mod perms

Post by AnotherIdiot »

Many accounts have not had a post since 2004-2007 some in 2012 and so on. I am somewhat concerned by this and hope that many of these have moderation privileges dropped since its only a security risk if any of them had a weak password or if this forum hashes passwords and they are leaked, a hash collision.

All of these last logged on (or posted) before Jan 1st 2023
kmcguire, Owen, and gerryg400.

And based on purely last post:
kmcguire (2009, does not show last login/activity, only last post)
Combuster (2021, though they did login on Aug 15 2026)
pcmattman (2018, last login on Jan 31 2026 though)
01000101 (2016, last login on Nov 20 2025)
thepowersgang (2022, Last login Jun 22 2026)
Owen (2016, last login May 26 2018)
gerryg400 (2017, last login mar 2 2026)

Still concerning that most of these last posts (other than Combuster) are 2018 and before, I just don't feel very safe with last posts and or logins being from a year or two ago from people who have mod privs, because having old accounts without activity makes it seem like the modteam is not very active.
