Cleaned out users that met the following criteria:
First pass: users joined after jan 1 2013, last active before may 1st 2013 with zero post count. Names looked like bots for the most part.
Second pass: users joined since jan 1 2008, last active before jan 1 2013 with a zero post count. Lots of bots, so,e normal looking handles.
Trying to keep our user db in decent shape.

Re: Inactive user housekeeping
Thanks! I give you credit for getting to it on your OO to-do list. It's very rare for me to clear off a list. Sure I complete a lot of tasks but usually end up transferring items to another list because I know X won't get done till a few days from now. Good for you and good for us to have you ship shape the board.

Re: Inactive user housekeeping
Next, you should get those who joined after 12 October 2004 whose usernames are listed in red (I think that means that they're bots).

Quick note to any lurkers. We don't want to purge anyone who is not actually a bot so just be sure to at least log in once in a while to avoid Fishpants' shows of wrath and power. Or post a few times.
