We ran them varments outta town!

Mike Mitchell - 12/28/2011

Just to let ya'll know, I ran some maintenance on the Forums tonight and deleted a lot of bogus and inactive accounts. All in all, probably more than 2000 accounts were deleted (some of them were in the "pending" file that you guys can't see). The bulk of these were created by a loophole in our forum security that allows some bots to create bogus accounts. Most, however, cannot actually post to the forum (thank goodness).

• If I accidentally deleted your account, please reregister and take the following precautions:
  Fill out ALL of our profile (gender, city, country, etc.)
• Create at lease one post (even if it's just to say "howdy") so that we know you're a real person
• Come back at least two or three times a year to keep your account active.
