Microsoft *may* change their policies more often than that. Back when I ran nether.net as full scale public access, I would reap unused accounts after some period of time..l don't recall anymore as that was almost 15+ years ago now. But one month seemed like the right number. I had almost 100k accounts at most points... Was fairly crazy. A least the Internet archive captured some of the cool stuff the users did back then. - Jared
