One thing that would be nice about getting rid of the "sleepers" is that more names would be free. I tried a few names when I made this account that were already taken.

Obviously I never came up with a good name.

You wouldn't re-register for a new nick, would you?

It because of lack of fantasy...

Maybe renaming all the sleepers to alphanumeric characters will free up the names? That way the people who like inflated numbers can have it, and the usernames will be freed up?

Uh.....those members travel in large packs and...um....if uh...one person decides to learn Russian and join this website, then so do they?

And whats a Kulak?

You could've spelled "Авдотья" a little different, for example Avdotiya.

Well, that's a good question. I don't know, it just doesn't sound right to my ears. Fantasy and imagination can be synonyms in certain contexts, but we usually say "lack of imagination".

I know that's not a good explanation, but I can't think of a quick answer. I'll think about it, and maybe post something later if I get a chance.

Kulaks (Russian: кула́к, kulak, "fist", literally meaning "tight-fisted") was a category of rich peasants in later Russian Empire, Soviet Russia and early Soviet Union. The word "kulak", originally referred to independent farmers in Russia who owned larger farms and used hired labor, as a result of the Stolypin reform introduced since 1906. Peter Stolypin's reforms resulted in the creation of a class of landowners who became independent farmers and supported the Tsar's government. In 1912, 16% (11% in 1903) of Russian farmers had over 8 acres (32,000 m

Maybe MR needs the numbers to boost advertising revenues. Otherwise, I feel a purging coming on.
