When we go through an do an inactive sweep, it clears out many that are no longer around. While it does catch a few that are still active, it does get your attention to contact us and hopefully we can discuss more ops for biz. It's not done to "rip you off." We reactivate anyone immediately that asks.
We do apologize that some accounts do inadvertently get turned off due to the sweeps, but there is very little way around it.
If we owe you money, tell us and we'll get you paid out.

Well don't you think that it's kind of weird for people to see a site like youtube and
facebook that have millions of millions of accounts but somehow 60k accounts is
fucking up your system?
I mean what happens if you have 60k signups, do you delete the members that
haven't logged in and kill your rebills because you need to clean out the database?
No, I don't think you do that.
I like topbucks, but really, your explanation of this procedure sounds like a bunch
of dumb shit to me.
"Inactive accounts" aren't even making request to your servers or the database so
how is this a performance issue or space issue or any issue?
I got more videos with descriptions/stats/etc in my tube site than you have
affiliates; but I don't see the need to clean out my "database".
As a programmer I can't take this explanation seriously.
Come up with a better one or hire a programmer to fix your database.
If the database is "bloated" with referring URLs/etc from inactive accounts then why
not just delete referring URLs/etc after X amount of time?
