Ok, I am thinking about what you said and I dunno.
I agree the easiest thing is to dump and forget... except in the case of the Gearfield story as I think Lucifer and Gabriel were absolutely classic in that story, really showed how they will work together when a common goal comes up.
However, on the flipside of that... the story really was offensive, poorly written, hard to follow, and not really what we want to show as an example of us to the public.
Helios' and Lilu's posts, though, those never accomplished anything and I doubt Forthsight, the only one contributed on them, would give a shit if they disappeared. However, they are examples of what not to do... all three are... especially when it comes to unauthorized messing of the time line.
Then again, we could use some disposable characters for the story coming up... *sighs* I dunno. Isn't that what you originally had in mind when you suggested clearing the abandoned characters?

Ok, with Lilu and Uphir, when are you setting it since Garelock skewed the timeline so badly?

It was Grant Me Wings.
That would actually work well. As I was thinking on the story line. You brought in Dante and In the thread you aren't moving out, Garelock said they were in New York City, also said in the one with Uphir that they were in a subway station; really only NYC has any real subways in the states... they could have been in London I suppose... but...
But anyhow, right after Millennium, Dante could conceivably still be in NYC as you never said either way if he was staying or going. Grant Me Wings could be given points, since there are brief 'holes' if you will; that no one said where anyone was and it doesn't even need argued that after Gabriel made his little visit to Kirik. In fact right on page 3 of GMW there's the spot where Gabriel tells Rakhaniel where Eloa is, leaves, and Izzy picks back up the story visiting Valefar in his prison. Gabriel ordered him to go, but no one said how long it took him to get there. Then there's a space around page 12 too that well... could be said to be another spot Gabriel takes off in.

Which means, if Steph wants Kirik, all this is taking place before that night in the hotel with Draga and Lucifer... long before... and before Gabe destroys heaven before going to hell. But a day or two after Millennium.
