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.

  I always log in with LJ-Login via Greasemonkey. Does this mean my logins are not registered somehow? I have posted an entry with all of my accounts. Will this protect them, or are they still in danger of other random purges that many, many of us are only notified of AFTER the fact? (In the age of bookmarks, how hard would it have been to send a message BEFORE deletion? Even Livejournal did that.)
  
  I am highly disappointed in how this whole affair was handled, from the lack-of-information, the deletion of obviously used accounts under the guise of "deleting spam bots," and the fact that nasty harassment of users giving valid feedback of their concerns has not been acknowledged by site administrators, despite being on these very pages.
  
  I must seriously reconsider any further financial support of this site, and I can't be the only one. Some people may be pleased by this, and those people may give you money, but they aren't and weren't the only ones here.

    Stop flipping out over nothing. "Deletion", as in a little line through your user name, means nothing until accounts are actually purged. Any account with a line drawn through it can be re-activated by its owner by simply logging in and following the link in the email - or simply going to "account status" and re-setting it to "active", and we've all been informed we have two weeks to do that. "Deleted", as in with a little line through it, is only the filtering process. I've been doing all of mine as the reminders have come in since it's actually most convenient that way. If you want to be sure you don't have any that are missed, use that list you made, log into all your accounts so they show recent activity and for the ones that are "deleted" already, re-activate them. Problem solved. Sheesh!
