Administrivia: User Account Cleanup

I deleted a bunch of accounts from this site today.

The account registration bots have gotten out of control lately, and I had to add a captcha plugin to the account registration page.

So I took the time to remove all accounts that have not done at least one of the following:

This will have removed almost all of the spam accounts, but it may have removed some legit accounts too.

On the plus side, if you’d never commented, added an avatar or edited the profile that means that having the account deleted doesn’t lose you much.

And the captcha is pretty easy for people to get through.
