Im not totally understanding the whole alias/import thing, if we changed our email is the one we originally signed up with gone for good then with the rest of the records? Sorry @Null for my lack of understanding

Yes dude that's the entire point.

update xf_user set email=NULL and user_state='email_bounce' where email like "%.edu" OR email like "%.gov";
Query OK, 43 rows affected (0.03 sec)

so long space cowboy.

humorously the guy with .gov had changed it after my warning.

I'm now going to destroy the existing archives before this point and I'm going to declare this process over.

Was way more than that. This is before my warning email. I BCC'd in 52 addresses total when I made this thread.

So does the statement in the OP that this will be a daily automatic thing still apply?

I'm going to increase IP retention to a week now instead of a day to help with moderation, but the database is backed up in full twice daily. I'm deleting prior records of it for now and, for the foreseeable future, irregularly deleting archives as I decide to remove cloud storage.

Sorry for the bump, but I highly recommend this service to everybody out there. All it takes is 60 seconds and a pen and paper. Just do it already.
