GovLoop Group Creators 3 years, 9 months agoAre we still active here? I’d like to know how to delete posts from a forum; specifically the NFL POOL forum in the BREAK ROOM GROUP. Yes, I’m an admin. I’m starting the new season and all the posts about last season need to go. I don’t see a way to this… Many thanks!

Ancient Media: Books 4 years, 4 months agoJust finished Dean Koontz’s SAINT ODD, the finale of the Odd Thomas books. For those that haven’t read them… they are a typical Koontz mix of science fiction, action, horror, and romance. Koontz is a tough call to categorize.
