Deleting old worthless posts

But why waste time purging old posts when you don't need the space?

I may one day need the space and at that time it'll be a lot easier to sift through another 2 years worth of posts than 4 years. That's not the main reason though, I doubt I'll ever need the small amount of space the text files take up. The bigger reason is that if some obsessive new bg player like myself comes along and wants to wander through the world of old posts they don't get caught up in the completely worthless posts like this which is a useful post for the moment but has no long term value. Or my own posts on how to post positions with GNU or Snowie when there will be links to them on the home page. Requests for rollout volunteers, etc... tons of posts that are long term worthless.

I also occassionally use the *search* feature when looking for past posts, it may help tidy the results up if I notch off a few hundred posts.
