Did 85 forum members just disappear?

[IVB]

I noticed yesterday am that we were closing in on 500 registered members for the forum. Now we're at 415.

Were there 85 spam accounts that got deleted, or did something else happen?

They were abducted by Aliens to get CQC technology

I keep the spam accounts very aggressively under control. But what I did was to remove any members that haven't been to the forum in over a year. I want the customer list to be realistically indicative of the actual level of membership and not fluffed up with lots of inactive accounts, so I did it before we hit 500 so as to avoid hitting that symbolic point and then going back again. We'll get to it again, but with a legitimate member count so that it is more meaningful.

Is there a prize for number 500?
