(oops sorry, the post posted before I was finished XD I meant the ti
tle of the topic to say "Purging Pet Names")

Anyways, there are a lot of pets located on frozen accounts, since ranchers can pretty much have as many pets as they want. I was wondering, would it be a good idea to automatically clear, or purge, all pets and their names that are located on frozen accounts once they have been frozen for a certain amount of time? I asked before if accounts and pet names are ever purged, and apparently they rarely are since it takes a long time. But, what if it was done automatically? I think it would be a good idea, because users (especially ranchers), can have as many pets as they want and new pets are hatched everyday, using up names. With the site growing with more members, at this rate there are going to be very few decent name combinations available over the years. What are your opinions? :)

If there were a way to do it automatically, I think it would have been done. I wish it would have been done, because it is an extremely tedious process to manually empty out showrooms and ranches of banned accounts.

I am thinking of asking Patrick what he thinks of simply deleting the pets of banned accounts rather than emptying them to the profile to let them die - doing it that way would only take seconds and minutes as opposed to the hours it takes to dump them on profiles. The names would be instantly available this way also, no more waiting for a month or more for them to clear.

I really like that idea, jenn. It gets rid of the pets off the search that are rare and gotten through cheating as well as opening names up for players who play by the rules. :) 100x support!

We've already switched over to this method (deleting instead of dumping pets). About eleventy kabillion pets have been deleted in the last few days.
