Generally user pruning is a pretty bad practice and it is rarely done, if ever, by bigger websites. If I was inactive for 30 days and suddenly when I come back from vacation, my account is gone, I surely would not register again, I would stop using the site for all eternity.

If the issue is to show active users or something like that in the memberlist or in the membercount, there are much much much better ways to do this than to purge user accounts.

Perhaps you could share with us the goal with the purging and we can perhaps find a better way than deleting user accounts? They don't take any room in your database and I really can't see any benefits from doing it, so please share and make me a more knowledgable man!
