The forum made the list for me I just copied and pasted.
Please everyone help me look through the remaining members and identify any other spam accounts who don't have zero posts.

How about deleting accounts with only one post?

A lot of those accounts are legit or are friends of mine who couldn't be bothered to post more than once.

Reslinir signed up and posted some spam... I feel like I deleted this specific username before so I banned the name for future sign ups.

So after deleting all the spam accounts, out forum database size is now 163.66 MiB.
Just to reference the previous forum that couldn't be saved, on the old server it wasn't able to grow past 100 MB. By the time we moved we were at 90-something.
So the old forum was doomed no matter what. It's just a shame we couldn't transfer the posts, but it was a no go.

The old forum is doomed just because of spam.

Actually it was doomed because we were an awesome community that refused to die.

I just noticed something when I was looking at the members list. There are a few new members with zero posts that joined today. The thing I noticed was that all but two of them had their "own" website. There are also very few members with one post that have a website. Maybe something to look into?

I'm going to have to start keeping up on deleting members that haven't posted in x amount of months and keep on it.
Not sure how to prevent member's from registering or identifying spam based off the website in their profile.

I cried for almost a week when I was unable to save some of the gems I posted in the old forum.

Thoughts?
does the forum require email activation? If it does, I would sweep the ones that aren't activated
edit: NVM, you already did a sweep

Also, Remember back in the day when I would post a picture of the birthdays because like 20 of them would be spam, and then some admin would delete them? those were good days
