Well, I figure I'll give you guys a choice.
We have 4,000+ accounts, by estimate about 80% of those are unused. Anything we do takes an extremely long time because of the amount of accounts on the server. It also makes the server extremely unstable -- at this rate it will be another week or even two before I can even say the server will be stable.
So that leaves the choices...
1.) Everyone backs up their stuff and I set a date to WIPE the server. It will come back up fresh and we can restore\recreate accounts from there.
2.) We keep going on, restoring accounts and cleaning up the server when we have free time.
3.) Everyone who wants to keep their accounts makes a ticket and we back their account up and do the wipe, restoring all the accounts that made a ticket when it comes back up.
Either option works for me, an OS Restore is just $25 and if we set it for say Thursday we could have everyone who has backups or posts running by Saturday. Downfall is if anyone is on vacation and so forth... they will lose their account.
I'm opening this up as a poll, which ever option gets the most votes I will do.
::EDIT::
To start this off I've opened up a section for people to request their account to be backed up. So far it looks like it's going to be option 3 so I'm going to get an early start on the backups just incase it comes out like that.
