    initial v1  
    33* email token valid hours: 24 (default is 48)
    44* purge unactivated users grace period: 10 (default 14) - we had this really high before I think like 60
    5 * cleanup inactive  users: 730 days, this is any account that has no posts and no activity for past x days) I had this set to 30  -- I realize this was too low (we quickly went from 1200 accounts to 750 when I had made this change) so put it back at the default of 730 days.
     5* cleanup inactive  users: 730 days, this is any 0 trust account that has no posts and no activity for past x days) I had this set to 30  -- I realize this was too low (we quickly went from 1200 accounts to 750 when I had made this change) so put it back at the default of 730 days.

    77The issue with being too lax with these settings, is spammers often try to accrue a bunch of accounts they have created in past, and then use them after.  I suspect this is what happened.  But if we have another spam attack, I will take a closer look at the account before deleting and banning the ip and email.
