That doesn't really have any impact on anything. Plus, any accounts with games or content can't really be removed.

It's the active users causing server overloads, not the inactive ones

It's not usually that either.

It's my understanding the site really isn't made for so many users at once. They need many millions more to fix it. Maybe this is also why lots of things on the site cost money now, and they are trying to find interesting ways to hook people in. A few years ago, it was just a normal site, and everything was free -- but it was way smaller, too. This was back in 2018-2019, I mean.
Too many people got into Chess 2020-2023 is the problem. They are now struggling to handle it. My guess is, some of them will quit by 2026-2027, and the site will run a bit smoother. But it does seem to be only ever gaining players and accounts!
Number of active members really isn't an issue. The site massively scaled the architecture and has changed a lot in the back-end to improve performance to handle loads. There's still additional work to improve further though.

OMG, this problem has been going on for *years*? Someone somewhere is egregiously incompetent.

I don't think the full issue has been identified but seems to be related to an update causing unexpected issues and that is being rolled back.

Different problems; some caused by new code, some by changes to improve performance and load, sometimes DDoS attacks can cause issues.

I think there are features on this site that are too much resource consuming. But I don't know the architecture. Surely they must rethink something

I am a retired systems architect, and I repeat: server overloads going on periodically for years demonstrates incompetence.

Code and architecture is pretty consistently changing. Sometimes new code has unexpected issues.
its not overload ..for sure its hacked
