Comment:

 Maybe I'm missing something, but it looks like it's just that the hook is
 missing. The event is being set correctly as
 `bp_activity_akismet_delete_old_metadata`, and there's a function by the
 same name. But registering an event with wp-cron does not mean registering
 a *callback*, it means registering a *hook*. So what we need is probably
 as simple as

 {{{
 add_action( 'bp_activity_akismet_delete_old_metadata',
 'bp_activity_akismet_delete_old_metadata' );
 }}}

 rossagrant, would you mind dropping that into a file somewhere (bp-
 activity/bp-activity-akismet.php would be fine) and seeing if it does the
 trick?
