Just a little heads-up that we’ve gone in and deleted a large number of (mostly spammy) users. A criteria we used was if the user had EVER read a post - not whether they have posted anything, not whether they ever logged on, but whether they actually visited a post on the forum after creating their account. That eliminated a surprisingly large number of accounts, and we really have to apologize if you were one of those users, but somehow we don’t think it’s going to be a problem. You can always re-create your account if you need to. It’s unlikely we’ll do that again unless we get flooded with spammers - hopefully Discourse will be a bit better at keeping the riffraff out.
