I intend to do some house cleaning on my discourse install.

I want to identify two similar types of users:

1. **Inactive users without posts** (pre-Discourse signups)
2. **Active users without posts and excessive read times** (lurkers)

I am going to get rid of #1s and seek creative ways to reach out to the #2s.

I’d like to use this thread as a way to generate some ideas on how to proceed and things I should be cautious of before moving forward.

Thank you.
