Database Cleaning

Hey all. In order to facilitate operational database backups, I'm going to be deleting unused forum accounts in a week. That means next Sunday a total of about 70 people will lose accounts that haven't been used in the past 30 days. The list of accounts scheduled for deletion is available here. You can learn more about why this is happening in this thread.
I've sent out an email to all registered forum members with the same basic information. If you are in contact with anyone who might want to keep their account, please let them know about the deletions. I'll be performing the cleanup next Sunday, the 6th. In addition to old member accounts, I'll be removing the unused clan boards for guH, Holy, MK, Tfu and TWB.
Lastly, I would GREATLY appreciate it if everyone could delete all of their old PMs (don't forget the ones in your Outbox!) If you're attached to any of them, you can always save a copy of the PMs web page to your hard drive first, but it's critical that as much extraneous data get removed as possible.
All of this is leading up to a major upgrade in forum software, and I really do need all of your help for it to go off without a hitch.

This is still off topic, but I'm gonna be as inactive as I have been for....what? a year?
Anyways, im gonna be that inactive still....I'm using the same computer from the SR days, and that just doesn't cut it. =D
Hopefully I'll get a new one soonish, but it'll at least be till the end of the scholastic year. woo. I'm still alive though, and if I ever buy a new comp (trying to upgrade would be near-hopeless) the first thing I'll buy will be HL 2....you can play CS off of that, right?
I'm so out of the loop!

Actually, most of us are still playing on the same hardware we were back then too (I am at least). HL2 is not required-- as logn as you have a valid Half-Life (1) CD key and a copy of Steam, you're all set. Performance should be just about as good as it ever was, since they really haven't upgraded anything.
It'd be a shame if you weren't going to play, but I know how that is-- I haven't played for months either because school is keeping me so busy. The difference is that I still keep up with the boards! 
At the very least, make sure we can get ahold of you! We've wanted to let you know about events in the past year, and all of my emails to your hotmail account just fell into the black hole of the internet.

Because there's no need to delete everything. Why would we delete everything if we didn't have to?

There he goes with those made up words again. 
Next thing you know he'll be trying to rename the warthog after some catlike animal he made up.

All done. Trimmed more than 3 MB out of the 57.6 total. About 60 accounts were deleted, the forum error log was cleaned, and the Holy, MK, Tfu and TWB boards are now CSR history (they're preserved in the DB backups however).
