Lists and deleted all users with zero logins over X weeks old.

Deletes all posts associated with such user, and all meta associated with that post
Deletes all buddypress forums, groups, and basically any other form of content produced by deleted users.

All with a nice UI, progress bar, doesnt over load the server.. and took longer to run than it did to develop ( major infestation )

Required only moderate massage of prompt based on the login count meta, the rest was a joke.

Site is down 49k users, to a much more reasonable 2k - I didnt develop the site, but they came to me in a pinch and was able to fix them up good while I took a shit basically

Good times
Yeah it's insane. I'd say some of the things I've used it for but they are pretty specialized so it would tip off my unhinged haters around here. I will just say that I process massive piles of data to get traffic that everyone else misses and it allows me to sell things for double what my competitors can get. Double the sale price, 10x to 50x their profit.

I have done this for a decade but either paid outsourced labor or hired programmers for things I can recreate in seconds now. It also does really well at design help if used correctly.
