charmianVia yvi, LJ may be purging inactive accounts, which (at least according to code; no official LJ announcement has been made at this time, and it is not clear whether this code will definitely be put into effect or whether it represents the final code) appears to target accounts which have never been posted in and have been not logged into, posted, or commented in for two years.
After being notified, owners of these accounts have fifteen days before the accounts are deleted.
I doubt this will affect current users much, but probably some vocal desirers of usernames will be somewhat mollified, as one of the most requested things is the deletion of inactive accounts. (Though these folk would probably prefer that even inactive accounts w/ entries would be deleted. IIRC this was done on Insanejournal.)
