I find it odd that all users stating that 1 year is too long are member for less than a year. The scope of these observations is too narrow to effectively set an inactivity time that is 'too long'. Activity tends to fluctuate a lot depending on personal and/or private situations, or with game releases. I think this applies to all users. There is (and used to be) quite a number of very valuable users that do or did simply not have enough time to check for problems arising every single day (polling). But these users have their specific qualities that can be used when the user is asked to help out (interrupting). You can't run a wiki with a bunch of users that share a single quality. Different users have different peak qualities that can be utilized to the fullest when boundaries like those requested in this thread aren't as strict as 30 days. When all users are forum mods, but no one understands how to create a table, serious problems will arise.

Therefore I think that one year is okay, but far from too long.
