Username Purge (an update)

This is going to take probable 3-4 weeks to get all of the inactive accounts as there are a lot of them and I don't want to kill the servers doing this.

As always you can see what usernames are available here.

  Maybe it is no one else's fault but my own, but considering Squeaky supposedly listens to the users, especially taking into account that this purge is being done at user request, I'm a user and I'm expressing my displeasure with how things are being done. You disagree with me and that's fine. But I don't like how this purge is being handled.

    Well, from what I understand, if the deletion and such just started yesterday then those journals that have been purged probably weren't done by ~squeaky and co. More likely that the user deleted them beforehand and they were recently purged. So it's possible that that isn't ~squeaky's fault at all.
    
    You're allowed to not like how it's being handled. I understand. It was a bit of a shock that there was actually going to be a purge on this wide scale, but if I remember correctly in my knowledge of IJ history, there was one a year or two back already. It just seems like a logical way to go if we want to clear up space.
