New Would it violate anyone's religion to
purge all names used not-ever or, not 3x - or unused for more than a year? 2 years?
Anyone deleted can of course - re-do. We could leave in.. the estranged, known still-alive icons, I'd suppose.

Reminds of a car-marque place with 3200 'Members' - and ~ 25-50 'active'.

Just a thought - what's in a Number anyway..

New Database constraints preclude...
...deleting anyone who at least has posted here, for if you delete the user, then you must also delete their posts. And that, I believe, would be heresy 'round these parts. And rightly so on that point, IMHO.

As far as deleting users who've never actually logged in beyond their first day or so, I don't know that I have a problem with that (subject to the restriction on those-with-posts...)

New Dunno about doing it retrospectively
I'd imagine there's plenty of users who lurk and simply login so that they can set preferences.
