Free Flarum hosting on an expert platform by FreeFlarum.com
medforum i am not affiliated with freeflarum. Best thing to do is send an email to info@freeflarum.com.
I have been blocked from FreeFlarum global, but i test it may be global all users is blocked. Why? Is it a lot of DDoS so blocked?
Now fixed

luckylu apologies, I've reactivated the forum for you. See my email for further information
luckylu if that's regarding the donation, thank you & please see https://freeflarum.com/donate. Any donation above 7 € will remove the FreeFlarum footer for you, along with some other features. There is no difference in features you receive for different donation amounts. The donation is an one-time donation.

this web for Chinese users!!!
@SKevo
luckylu I am so confused to what I'm seeing. I see a page with people donating to something called FreeFlarum as well, they can pay using different payment methods. To whom goes the money, is this page controlled by FreeFlarum themselves? Are these people actually getting their reward for donating?
luceos thanks, but actually it's official donation page. It is now managed by my friend from China, but I am considering to remove it in favor of the primary donation methods at https://freeflarum.com/donate
@luckylu how did you find about that donation page, if I may ask?
Just.. ignore what I said 
SKevo you can search on afadian.net and it will be found if your afadian account was verified.
And it's harder for Chinese users to donate if https://freeflarum.com/donate don't have wechat/Alipay payment methods.
Ok, if you have some Chinese friends, I think you can ask them if freeflarum face some terrible things like DDoS or fight between some users on some trifle. You should acknowledge that the Chinese Internet environment is complex and a little bad.
I am a user from China, and I don't want Freeflarum become a tool or place for meaningless argue.

Is there any feature or extensions that I can notify and remove inactive users automatically in a FreeFlarum forum?
I'm glad that FreeFlarum provides such a wonderful service on which I can set up my forum, and I'm trying to reduce the usage of my forum to keep FreeFlarum available. I decide to inform users who haven't logged in for over 6 months via email and remove their account after 12 months inactivity to keep the forum not too active. However, I'm new to Flarum (as well as FreeFlarum) and I don't know how.
StevenGLee that's an interesting idea, but I am afraid that no such extension or feature exists at the moment, as far as I know.
However, you might not actually need this. I am not sure how large your forum is at the moment, but just for perspective, the limit for user accounts at FreeFlarum is 20 000 (so, accounts in the database - whether online or offline, active or inactive, etc... = everyone), which I consider to be sufficient for the forums that FreeFlarum hosts - anything above this number should be hosted elsewhere.
The reason why such "limit" is in place is that there is currently no reliable system in place that can automatically monitor and determine whether a forum eats too much server resources at the moment (I quoted "limit" because it's not really a hard limit, just some milestone at which we should be more alert and occasionally watch server resources more closely). Because of this, I just calculated some numbers based on average amount of discussions, posts and users, biggest forums at FreeFlarum, etc... and put the details on this page: https://docs.freeflarum.com/en/legal/terms/#1-limits (but I am sure that you have seen this already)
Note that even if your forum does reach these numbers, FreeFlarum does not immediately remove your forum (and frankly, I am not even sure if there was ever a case when this number was reached, so far). Instead, I imagine that if it indeed happens, I would probably just e-mail you and we could figure out a solution together (either migrating elsewhere or one-time mass reduction of inactive user accounts).
But I see this is still an interesting concept at least, that is: automatically cleaning up inactive accounts. I suggest you create a new discussion in the Proposals tag if you want, and someone might develop your idea into an extension. I can imagine that it might possibly be beneficial for other forum administrators too?
SKevo Thank you. I have posted a discussion in the Proposal tag.
