The number of members on both my stoplist and Ignore list also both dropped.

“There are 1,272,345 registered members from 207 countries currently registered
on BrickLink.” https://www.bricklink.com/memberChart.asp

But I’ve no certain idea of previous values….

Surely, there’s someone monitoring the total number of members somewhere?

Actually quite a few, on Feb 16th there were 2,109,052

So if today there are 1,293,504 aka 1763 new members each day since your post,
we can loosely assume there were around 2,414,000 when before. That means more
than 1.1 million accounts were unregistered. And this is not the first time they
did this.

I have a bunch of bb* accounts on my stoplist that weren't there before (I
couldn't tell you whether the actual number went down) so I think Nubs's
hunch is correct.

Hi there,

That was us! We recently deactivated accounts that had been inactive for more
than a year.

Don’t worry, we emailed all the users well before the deactivation to give them
time to save their accounts.

The only thing better than fans is active fans, right?

How about erasing the negative and neutral those people left ?

Why not the positives too?
And they made transactions on the site, they noted the transactions, as any other
buyer/seller.

On an unrelated note...I've never seen your store before and your track record/feedback
for that many sales is impressive.
