| Some forums do a clean up by emailing all registered users, if they dont get a response after 90 days the accounts are deleted. 180 days might be better. |

Most of them are spammers. They never confirm their e-mail address, and it's easy to confirm that they are spammers by searching for their forum nick in Google:
"viewing profile" "all about cigarettesmania"

I removed many of them. I'm going to remove more spammer accounts in the next few days, and I will remove all older than a month users that didn't confirm their e-mail.
He's not a spammer.

That is defiantly a spammer. He(it?) had made a post in general modern chips, about cheap cigarettes a few hours earlier. Seems to have been deleted now though. |

i disagree as some users save settings, like to rememebr what posts they have had and what are new, and may PM from time to time.

I removed all one-month old or older users who never activated their accounts.
