I'll be migrating an active phpbb forum to vbulletin in the near future and need to know the best way to deal with about a thousand spam accounts. phpbb doesn't have an easy way to do mass account deletions without adding a MOD. Is there an easy way to delete multiple accounts in vbulletin, and if so, should I migrate all the accounts and delete them in vb or deal with them in phpbb before migrating?

Thanks,
Dan

Can you put all of those accounts into a separate usergroup? If so, you could easily delete them all after the import.

You can also mass move them into a seperate thread then delete the thread.
