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?

It's not the load on the DB, it's just all the duplicate accounts (before we had campaigns, or someone who wanted revshare and PPS) and just inactive accounts.
Let's say WM X has a great site to promote us on for a site we just launched. Well we keep emailing him and emailing him only to find out he no longer exists. It's just cleaning it up so we can use it better and serve WMs better.
