So... I just had an issue! LOL. Over the years, I've had around 100+ DELETED users stack up in the user base - but I never ran PurgeUserBase/PackUserBase.
I knew about them, but never ran... so when I read this I figured it was about time so I whipped up an .ini with those two options enabled and ran it.
It purged, and then deleted, 1300+ users!! (Of 2100 or so...) Again, only 100+/- users are marked DELETED. Luckily I have backups so I just grabbed users.dat from last nights backup and threw it back in, so... safe - but what was my issue?
Do I have some setting to delete users who haven't called in X days or something? Did I only want to PackUserBase to remove DELETED users? What the heck just happened!?!? :P
