If they have databases that aren't just named after their username then 
we'd miss some. But looking at the list so far <username>* would catch 
all the dbs that we have so far.

I guess the script could have some user input at this point to ask if 
you want to 'assign' any DBs to a specific user.

Yeah we don't have a list of old members unfortunately. We couldn't 
keep all the data we hold on members as I'm pretty confident it'd break 
the Data Protection Act.

I suggest we create a new table in the sucs db called oldmembers or 
something, id (INT) as a prmary key, username (TEXT), realname (TEXT). 
date_deleted (timestamp)

That way we have a record of old members, both names and usernames.
