Hi

I'm in the process of (re)installing vBulletin from phpBB2 and would like to know if the so-called "Inactive Imported Users" (viewable in Usergroups>Usergroup Manager) are actually "spammy" members or just regular members. Do I need those members or they are just a pain in the arse? I mean, wouldn't purgeing them be a good idea?
I must tell that there wasn't any protection mechanism on the previous phpBB2 forum and there were many "spammy" signups.

Please advise.

Thank you!

Did you have an 'Inactive' usergroup in phpBB?

No, there were no usergroups in the previous phpbb.

ImpEx only imports phpBB usergroups, so you must have had some kind of usergroup or similiar like that in phpBB.
