Huh; are you sure about that? We've lost about 10000 (!) accounts since yesterday (it was at 19405 yesterday according to this post) and we're now down to 9078. Hasn't the "account older than 30 days with 0 posts" cleanup been performed before? I do believe I've heard that mentioned before, at least.
PS: It seems to be quite a bit more than that, as I can't find a single non-recently registered account with less than three posts on the first 32 42 pages of members. If this was done intentionally I'd very strongly suggest at least giving some warning before deleting more than half of all registered accounts overnight, and particularly so for accounts with a non-zero post count.
EDIT: Sorry, changed a few things: Looked through a few more pages and rewrote a bit of the second paragraph.
