re: "Why not just delete the group? Sentimentality? I came close to deleting a couple of them but...I just couldn't do it. LOL"
Personally, I think there is a good reason to keep the old group, even if it's been gutted.? Many people learn about a group from something someone posted on a website or in another forum many years ago.? Leaving the old group gives them guidance to find the new group.
If you delete the old group, they can't find the new group at its new location -- unless they embark on a process of discovery with no roadsigns to help them.? I like leaving behind roadsigns.
