Time for Spring cleaning on Gather

Spring seems to be in the air just about everywhere. Well, that means it is time for spring cleaning in alot of house holds. So, I thought today would be best to start spring cleaning here on Gatherland. I have started to "spring clean" my posts. So, far I have deleted 10 pages of past posts I have created. I plan on doing many more. So far they mainly have been rants about my family (mainly my teen), freebie links that are no longer valid, old jokes and my recipes I have shared. So, they are nothing special. I doubt if anyone would really remember them anyways. I usaully go through and delete old posts about every 6 months or so. It has been much longer than that lately. So, it is well over due. So, if you noticed my amount of pages of how many posts I have go down. That would be why.

Do you ever do any "spring cleaning" on Gather? Well, my wrist is getting sore from all the clicking. So, I am going to go take a shower. Than I will back at more sping cleaning.

i haven't but need to do some spring cleaning too; i also need to clean out my email box
Veronica Hosking Apr 3, 2009, 3:18pm UTC
yeah my email box gets full. Mostly because I read the emails when they are sent to my regular email and so when I log on here I don't go into the email.

I think I'll leave the whole mess up for all time.
Pam Eccles Apr 3, 2009, 3:21pm UTC
since I haven't been here that long, no spring cleaning in this Gather household, maybe I'll do it for fall cleaning!

Hi Peter,
I think I agree with you ;)
Gessy D. Apr 3, 2009, 3:28pm UTC
I am not doing any Spring cleaning on gather. I only have 3 posts.
Vivian P. Apr 3, 2009, 3:30pm UTC
sometimes but I do it when I have time
GLR Z. Apr 3, 2009, 3:54pm UTC
Im still pretty new, so no cleaning for me yet!
Linda T. Apr 3, 2009, 4:03pm UTC
I don't even like to spring clean my house. Cleaning up on Gather doesn't tempt me much.

I never delete articles. By leaving them posted, people continue to come to view them and I keep making points by people reading them. The only thing I delete is members; mostly those who are no longer active on Gather, and groups I now longer use to post to. I've made lots of extra points by leaving all my posts available, no matter how old they are.
tammie p. Apr 3, 2009, 4:27pm UTC
great idea. i think i will delete a few
Janie E. Apr 3, 2009, 4:27pm UTC
Come to think about it, I think there are some posts that need the old heave-ho!!
.* Sandi * Apr 3, 2009, 5:25pm UTC
i clean out the dated stuff
Deloris Wright Apr 3, 2009, 5:46pm UTC
I did some spring cleaning too. but I started with the groups That I don't use any more. or don't post to. Then I will go on from there toworrow.
Stacey Mamasaid Apr 3, 2009, 6:24pm UTC
That's a very good idea...
Ryan M. Apr 3, 2009, 7:31pm UTC
I did mine a few weeks ago. I just got rid of some groups I don't use anymore.
Georgiana S. Apr 3, 2009, 7:57pm UTC
I was thinking the other day how there are some non-valid posts probably up on my page as well.
Netty B. Apr 3, 2009, 8:43pm UTC
I guess I am afraid if I delete the older ones, people will lose points (myself included)

If it starts with a "G," it's all Good!

I did this awhile back.

I usually don't delete too many posts. I did change a few to viewable just by me. I go through and delete groups every so often as I don't post to very many of them. I also delete connections who haven't been around for over 3 months.
Heather M. Apr 4, 2009, 5:46am UTC
I usually don't delete posts. In fact, I don't think I've ever deleted any- merely changed the settings.

I do clean out my groups and my connections, though.
Daf W. Apr 4, 2009, 12:08pm UTC
ive only been here for a month so not much cleaning for me!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Apr 4, 2009, 1:34pm UTC
I must clean up my real house first. It's getting really messy.
Rachel W. Apr 4, 2009, 6:01pm UTC
I haven't been here long enough and haven't been active enough to need to yet
Nancy Biri Apr 8, 2009, 11:52am UTC
