Require a certain number of posts before a week or account is deleted?
That is one way. Really, I think a lot of them made accounts and forgot about them.

I don't think that is fair to people who want to lurk around, read posts, and get a feel for the site before they are comfortable posting. I know I do that with a lot of web forums. I think it's actually good when people at least take a look through forums before posting because it prevents some people from being complete asshats.
At any rate, if this rule is established, (which I feel it shouldn't be, I actually think it's very unfair and impractical) I think that there should be longer than a week (a month to three months) in order to accomodate for people's lives and such. Not every one who frequents the forums can do it on a daily basis. In fact, I don't really think that I've ever been a part of any forum that deleted accounts after a week of inactivity.
