> I don't know what you mean by mothballware. Care to elaborate?

On reflection, it's a pretty lame term I tried to coin there. I was looking for something that expressed the idea that after a certain period of time, accounts that weren't dormant would need paying for before in order to be used properly again, so a bit like them being mothballed (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=define%3A%20mothballed) and unmothballed when eventually paid for.

Like I said, lame term. Am sure there's a better word out there that'll come to me when my head is clear.
