Ok, but let's consider the sort of functionality you want. As I understand it you want to delete users who's verified account is older then a certain date. I say a verified account, because unverified accounts are automatically deleted after speficied number of days in the admin control panel. Now, I suppose we could say that you consider 'inactive' user a user who did not post any messages. There maybe many active users who are members but simply choose to lurk on the forum and/or converse via private messages why delete their accounts?
So, my first question is what do you wish to gain by deleting those accounts, you certainly don't suffer any performance issues due to a few unused accounts. The second question is how do you reliably determine an unused account? Heck, a person could've went on vacation and came back 3 weeks later to find their account gone due to lack of activity, that just does not happen in any other application I am aware of.
