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 appreciate the warning, I really do. I understand why it has to be done and what the purpose of it is (lord knows I've stumbled upon a few sns that I desperately wanted but the journals were just sitting there empty and unused). I know that my frustration is namely borne from the fact that I went to look at a set of icons that I had found yesterday and today the journal has been deleted and purged. I didn't think of saving them because they didn't belong to me and I wasn't certain I was going to use them. I know that I can attempt to refind them in google cache, but it is the sort of thing that makes me a little irritated. I didn't make them, so I feel weird moving them to another place just on the off-chance that I'll want them.
  
  But that's just my two cents.

    If they were deleted and purged, then it has nothing to do with this current process.

    Ahh, I sincerely hate when that happens. I usually just blame the icon maker though. But if you can find them via Google cache, then you can probably access their photobucket or whatever image host site they use and get those icons? I've had to do that before.
