Hi All,
We continue to test groups.io as a replacement platform for Y!G. At this point we are pretty happy with most of it, but subgroups aren't ready for us just yet. The inability to cleanly move a thread to the "right place" is a problem, so we're probably going to avoid them for now. But that lead to an interesting discovery. ?I went to delete a subgroup I created and got a confirmation message telling me that the action cannot be undone (which is fine with me) but also that the subgroup name cannot be used for "some time".
Does anyone know what "some time" is and why that is the case at all? If I delete this group now - to avoid confusion for our members when we transfer - and we decide to add a subgroup of the same name in 6 months, will we be able to, or is this name gone indefinitely? If the latter I'll just lock it up and leave it against future need, but if we'll be able to get it back, then I'll delete it against accidental discovery.
Thanks for any and all advice on this.
