title: Trying to delete several thousand users from database
body: <p>I checked one of my Joomla! websites this evening and to my horror found that I had thousands of spam registrations. I can't bring up all the users on one page on the <strong>website because it crashes, it's obviously too much for the server.</strong></p>
  <p><strong>Even if I display 100 users per page, I've got 500 pages, it will take me until next week to delete them.</strong> So I thought maybe I can do from the database. The same thing happened, if I have 30 users showing, there are over 1000 pages. So I change the setting to show 1000 users, I wasn't able to delete the 1000 user because the page just crashed again.</p>
  <p>So I'm thinking that maybe I can backup my own account from the user table. However, do I have to create another user table in order to reinstall my account? I hope you understand my dilemma</p>
