User cleanup

So back in the day there SPAM accounts ran wild. There's 45,460 accounts that were locked with 0 posts. I'm thinking I might delete them.

I'm also thinking I might delete any users registered before the relaunch that have 0 posts.

Thoughts?

All for it. Use Clorox if ya have to.

I think so too. Any old account with zero posts probably doesn't remember their password anyway. Currently at 86476 users, let's see what you can get that down to!

I've just finished a big database spam cleanup. I've deleted any user that registered before 2022 (pre-relaunch) that had 0 posts. These were mostly spam accounts.

I also deleted a few spam topics / posts that were in an old "storage" forum.

• Users: 65,658 -> 10,757
• Topics: 50,856 -> 49,733
• Posts: 788,185 -> 784,764

Very cool! Much more realistic and less crap to dig through. Also frees up 50,000 user names for future use

I agree. Awesome job! Happy that my account survived The Hunger Games. 😁
