Not sure how to achieve this, but if possible just change to "CentOS"

Without this, how would you be able to tell this is a Forum post?  The
first two items may be combined into "CentOS Forums" ?

We can shorten to "Networking" but cannot get rid of the whole thing.
This is defined as the Forum Topics.  We cannot remove it entirely.

There is a history to this.  Without the "CentOS 5" etc, management of
the CentOS Forums was very difficult and time-consuming (for us
moderators).  So, this was added after discussion with Fabian and
Johnny.  Again we can shorten it to "C5" for example.
