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.

  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.
