What I’m looking to do:

Keep all site structure, (categories, groups, users, and settings), but wipe all threads, and PMS, and logs, basically to take a demo site that served as a sandbox, and transition it to a live site, similar to the OP, without having to setup a new instance and re-register all my users. But everything content wise, as well as logged actions all starts fresh.

Does this rake task posted above do this, or can the added reset logs as well be done, so all post data, and all log data is wiped fresh?
