Great script, it saved me a lot of time but there's one problem. Sometimes it doesn't seem to hit the "Confirm" button and this causes a lot of confirmation windows to appear, and the "User is not a member of this group" loop @rohitbhide mentioned. Can you please try to fix this issue?

This code works! Facebook disabled the native console brownser, but if you install the "Firebug" extension and run this script, it will work for you!

This script does not delete the group, just all the other members and then terminates execution.

IF YOU WANT NOT TO INSTALL THE FIREBUG EXTENSION, YOU CAN ACTIVATE THE USE OF THE CONSOLE HERE: https://www.facebook.com/selfxss

I created a script that works with the new facebook layout: https://gist.github.com/michaelv/11145168
Enjoy!
Some pieces of the code were copied from this gist.

Babrath, can this script be tailored to dump out the blocked list? I need to clean it out as it's over 9k, and we can't tell if a member is messing with the current membership by deleting them, or blocking them indiscriminately.
