If there is no activity in a community, it will be purged so that others can use the name.
If you would like to claim one of the communities, please reply to this comment.

I’ve sent you a message regarding the Scotland community. Overall, the team is working on standards for creating communities. Creating dozens to then “squat” will be addressed.
