Mass deleting users

Hey,

My forum has like 3,000 registered users, which are undoubtedly spam sign ups; however, vBulletin or my host won't actively allow me to delete these users in large batches. They are all in the registered users usergroup, so I can't delete the usergroup.

Are there any other alternatives to wiping the entire database (But user 1, and the 2-3 or users who've posted)?

I mean, I've tried deleting in batches of 250, but it's simply not worth the effort, as I have top keep clicking and even then it might not delete any users and will come with error messages. - Thus I've wasted a lot of time doing nothing. Suggestions?

 

Have you tried the prue feature in Admin CP? What exactly is your host blocking you from doing?

 

I was using that function before, but an error came up saying I couldn't delete that many users due to 'server error'. My host said it was due to this:

I seem to be able to prune now!
Thanks a bunch!

 

Maybe you could do it in smaller batches? You probably don't want to have to go through your host to manage your forum database.

 

Oh, thanks, but it's been solved! It was a PHP issue or something!
