PLEASE, put a lifex on anchored cans!
Stations and gates littered with old insta cans, belts littered with miner cans belonging to non-existent corps, SPAM cans, and some very crap can art, are just a few things that I'm sure would free up a bit of database space. And possibly ease lag?
C'mon CCP. You're the one's with the "need for speed" initiative. Use your initiative and look at this one simple way of getting rid of some clutter.
If someone wants to keep a can active, visit it, open it, reset the timer. Otherwise 3 months......POP!

One fast resolve to this would be the "Do you still need your cans?" yes/no button at the start of a gaming session.
Just ask everyone directly. That would atleast take out the leftover cans. Or simply remove all cans that are affiliated with non-active accounts and return them to said persons hangar.
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |

Yes, yes, OH GOD YES.
I'm sure they produce a lot of lag. Why not just remove the damned things after a month of disuse, and be done with it. --------

Wouldn't it be too easy for belt rats to pop a can? It doesn't take many shots for a can to pop.
Anchored cans should just have a set limit to be anchored in space.

Has there ever been a CCP statement as to why this hasn't been done by now or why they might think there's reason not to do it? None that I can remember.

Space is full of microscopic particles travelling at approximately stupid miles per hour. Over a period of time (3 months?) each can would be pounded into non-existence. The only way to prevent this is to visit and service (open) the can.

Because the cans are passworded and if the pirates blew them up, they would get concorded in hisec!

Don't just make 'em go pop. Make 'em unanchor after 6 mo without maintainance. During the next DT they move to the nearest fixed stellar object and can be picked up by anyone passing by. After 7 days they pop.
Also, put 'unanchoring drones' in the game (they've almost always been selectable as an overview item). After 3 months without maintainance they can be forcefully unanchored by said drones.

Ok, now i have a great suberb stupendous magnificent idea! 
...what...Sheirff Jones+Good idea= Does not compute? 
Well, here goes anyway!
Interstellar Cleaning Service, the ICS!
This NPC corporation is dedicated in salvaging and retrieving all sorts of space junk from the world, putting them in transports and moving them to their nearest base for refining and reusing on the market.
They would remove outdated secure cans, wrecks(which they basicly do now), shuttles and ships in solar systems etc. Anything really left out there.
Now, here's the fun part, you could actually intercept these transports and steal their lootz, or go to a local "ICS store" to buy them at cheaper prices. Imagine finding a battleship, that is ofcourse badly beaten and needs a lot of repairing, for half the price 
They could even setup contracts to sell these to the highest bidder.
No good?

Legacy "Can belts" will all go away once CCP hides the belt from the overview and randomizes the locations so we have to scan them out.
Thats right folks, start gathering your cans or lose them. :P

they will probably still be there, lost in space... i suspect the ones that were near former hi-sec ice fields have already become such relics.

I think the OPs idea (or any of similar ideas with the same outcome) is one of the ONLY ideas on these forums that garners unanimous agreement from the players. I have yet to see anyone argue they should be left as is.
This has been asked for many, many times and I have yet to see CCP say anything on the matter. Seems such an obvious thing to ease the servers and make space a little neater for the players. I cannot imagine a reason why CCP would ignore this but so far they have. I suppose they have their reasons...just like to know what they are.
