At first I thought I did something, fat fingered it per-say, but then I saw StackFault post that the same thing was happening to him. After restoring an older copy of my users.dat file, I manually ran the user purge and pack via mutil to see if I could reproduce the problem and
sure enough, it deleted my account along with a few others that were
not marked for deletion.
This is bizarre. How could this be tied to 2020? It's very strange for sure.
Anywho, I suspect there's probably not a /huge/ reason to purge users
each night...hoping that you can live with that. That said, I'm pretty curious to see if anything else is screwed up. I'll let you know if I
run into anything.
I manually set my date to Dec 30th 2019 and the purge function worked fine. I then set the clock correctly and ran the purge and sure enough, anyone who's last login was 2020 was deleted.
That's bizarre. What a strange year to have something like that happen, seems totally arbitrary. *shrug*
