O.P. Undecided  Pruning users
I'm about to delete 26% of the registered users on this board. Any objections? :refuck:

The following conditions must be true in order to be deleted:
1) The user has never made a post.
2) The user has not logged in after March 2003.

Advantages of pruning:
1) Less wasted space in the database and on the member list.
2) More usernames available.
3) Possibly better database performance with less records to keep track of.

Disadvantages:
1) Of course, accounts will be deleted. If one of the deleted members actually remembers these forums, and even remembers their password, they will have trouble logging in. :D
2) The number of total users will go from 28000 to around 20000. I could work around that by making sure the number of deleted users is always added to the total, if you think that's a good idea. I don't really care about showing off how many users we have, but maybe you do.
