   Is there a way to automate the deletion of thousands of spam blogs and their users from my site.

   I have been able to stop new ones but the old ones a bogging down my system.

   Since it sort of needs your attention to know which blogs are okay to delete and which aren't, no :/

   Have a beer.

   I was hoping that there would be a way to delete all blogs that have never been posted on. That would be a great start

   You could probably script up something to do that but I don't think anyone has.

   Andrea, thanks but I have heard that power tools will not work on WP3.

   That's why I said "may". :) Have a look through the code anyway, as it "may" (that word again) have the right SQL statement in it somewhere.
