Does anyone know when the inactive BETA accounts will be deleted? I'm under the impression that all the BETA users had till midnight on Monday to re-up or their accounts would be deleted. Did this already happen? Did I miss something?

We're in the middle of expunging the old beta accounts - we started on Monday. It's alot of accounts and alot of stuff in world, so we're spreading it out across the week. However, those that remain can no longer purchase new memberships at a discount.

Will their rateings standings on the leaderboards be wiped too, so as we can have a accurate "in-world" representation of the board?

And what about their cards? Will those cards be wiped from our inventories?
I think I have like 80% useless cards.

Eventually everything will be cleared out - calling cards, ratings received, leaderboard status, etc. In the end, the only thing that will remain is their name and the ratings that they've given out. It's going to be a while before everything is purged to this level though.

We can do this all at one stroke but don't want to do it all so suddenly. So I've been running batches of a few thousand beta accounts every day, doing the in-world expunge. Once that's all done, we'll do the database purge to get rid of calling cards and the like.

Sorry, bit of linden lingo. Expunge mean clear all land owned by a resident, and set all of their objects public immediately. This is what's happening to beta residents who didn't purchase paid memberships.

Kathy - Apsinthion Protagonist is the only converted resident who's listed you as a referrer. Maybe the second one didn't give us the right name?
Peter's looking into the other stuff.
Edit: meant for another thread. must've been that 3-martini lunch. (hic)
Edit: Linden Lab doesn't endorse drinking during working hours. This is a joke. (hic)

Peter's looking into the other stuff. I'm fairly sure this reply is to a post I made in another thread, but what the hey  Actually, I had two conversions: kohne Kato, and Apsinthion Protagonist. I GOT paid for kohne, who converted first (Lifer!). I got that payment BEFORE Apsinthion converted. Then Aps converted, and I've been waiting since

What does this mean? Well, you put your left foot in, then you take your left foot out. You do the in world expunge and you shake it all about.
