Is this community so busy that it needs a purge?

Lol most of the posts are made by me. When karmabot was a mod. Just wanted to clean it up. Kind of like your house. Its always nice to walk into your or someone elses home and it's all neat a clean.

We are always open up to suggestions. What do you suggest? If that came off as mean it is not suppose to.
