 I've thought about this for awhile now.

 Once you've read a notification, chances are you will never go back to to
 the "Notifications > Read" tab to view it again.

 So with that in mind, does it make sense to keep read notifications
 indefinitely in the database?  What if you have a rather, large community
 that has a ton of notifications? (See https://buddypress.org/2017/05
 /largest-turkish-recipe-site-spiced-up-with-buddypress/)

 To be conservative, we could purge read notifications from the site after
 a specified time period.  I don't know what a good value would be (3
 months, 6 months?), but thought it would be good bring this up for
 discussion.
