I'm not sure if this would be useful, because the user can always come back.

If I registered on a forum and wasn't active and came back one day to see my account was banned, I wouldn't bother creating another one.

Just my 2cents

Yeah I know

We have pretty rigid privacy laws though and manual pruning of inactive users can become a problem for sites with over 1000 registered users. Time consuming and repetitive work

Why dont you use the add-on if it's useful for you, instead of questioning the author why he did it that way. He already answered the question!

I want to keep the numbers

A high number of users is always advantageous, and besides that, it avoids people to register again and again with the same nick names

I took note for the next release ... however you con change the usergroup inside the file biu_cron.php in the queries:

SET usergroupid=8

where usergroupid=N defines the destination.
