I was thinking about the "first unread post" thing discussed earlier in another truck. You could reduce the load on your poor server by only implementing it for certain users - e.g. having a certain post threshold after being active for a certain amount of time, say 150 posts after a month. This would allow you to move users that only post a couple of times in the hammer truck into an "inactive" state and then possibly move them on from there, i.e. deletion, if you feel it's necessary.
Also it means that people who are now "regular" users have the functionality and would now be around often enough that the lists of "last seen" wouldn't be too large. Pathologic cases: Cornjer and jigsaw. Various admins. Solution: whenever the list of posts gets "too big", say, 15 trucks per user, either stop adding new ones or fall back to the previous where the truck just goes red. Or if someone doesn't log in for too long wipe the list. Tsimple!
