 > We currently store only short excerpts of blog posts in the 'content'
 column of the activity table

 I'm wondering why @-mention content (excerpt or full text) has to be
 stored at all? A lightweight approach to blog post and comment
 @-mentioning could be taken:

 1. At the point which the blog post or comment is successfully submitted
 and saved, parse the text for @-usernames maybe using {{{preg_match_all}}}

 2. Check the found usernames are active members

 3. Trigger a BP core notification and an email alert to all valid members
 receiving the mention.

 This would avoid:

 1. Activity table bloat and big haystacks
 2. Activity component dependency (unless the triggering of BP core
 notifications is currently dependant on activity?)
 3. Performance issues due to laborious {{{LIKE}}} queries
