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.

Unfortunately, ~squeaky has bigger problems to tend to than a few missed journal entries from roleplayers. He needs to make room for data, and for new users who might actually use the journals he's purging instead of sit on them like a 2 year old claiming a toy as theirs and theirs alone yet never playing with it. Yeah, it sucks. I'd hate to lose some of the stuff I've written over the years I've been here, but that's why I ran to go back up the things I remembered liking. And I did all of that ages ago.
In the end, it's really no one else's fault but your own, for lack of a better way to say it. Sorry.
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.
