Account Purgues Upcoming

The intention of this purge is to remove all the old spam-bot accounts. The new anti-spam defense appear to be working, but bots that registered before they went into effect can still login and post, and I want to stop that.

It'll be nice to clear all of 'em out once and for all. (at least until their next "generation" of bots)

I also took another anti-bot measure, which was removing the forum software version number from the footer of the page. Many bots search google or other search engines for specific version numbers which they know how to exploit. Since we no longer have the version number posted, hopefully bots will stop being attracted once the search engine indexes are updated.
