[up] Looked through the page again and I am not seeing a particularly large amount of questionable entries. I don't think this cleanup is needed.

Any specific entries that are unusually complain-y can go to the complaining cleanup thread.

Also, generally, it helps if you do some of the work yourself instead of merely bumping and expecting others to do the legwork.

Right, I think it's weird how often OP is bumping this without contributing to the cleanup.

[up][up]I wasn't expecting jack.

[up]I've already mentioned that reading the page hurts my brain cells.

[up] Looks like you're clearly expecting something, because you keep bumping the thread like something's going to magically happen if you just keep doing it.

I think it's a lost cause at this point. You've repeatedly admitted you haven't (and won't) actually read these pages (and thus are just assuming that they need to be cleaned up) and refused to do any amount of the work yourself. A cleanup thread that produces nothing but a constant stream of excuses isn't going to make people want to be involved.

This whole endeavor is starting to come off as a bid for attention, rather than a genuine effort to make anything better. That may or may not actually be the case, but that's really what it's starting to look like.

I concede. Should we leave this thread to rot, or lock it?

[up]Thinking about hollering, but I don't wanna lead a mod to ATT again. How do I holler from here?

By using the "Holler this" button in the dropdown in the upper right corner of each post.

But in this case, a moderator (me) is already reading so I'll just lock.
