 * How can we delete inactive user accounts (users who haven’t logged in for the
   past X days/weeks/months).
 * Our sites are filling up with old/unused user accounts and it seems there is 
   nothing we can do about it.

 * The only way I see it: downgrade them to level 0 (zero) and then you’ll have 
   a “Delete” button at the end of the row.

 * just make sure that they have’nt made any posts because their posts will get 
   deleted as well I think.

 * ColdForged, the problem is that running a public site where users are allowed
   to create accounts gets to a point where some user accounts are invalid or inactive.
 * I would like to be able to delete all users who haven’t logged in for the past
   X days/weeks/months.
 * I looked at the users SQL table and WP doesn’t record the last access date 🙁
 * Any suggestions would be welcome.
