First of all, merry Christmas to everyone. Well today I was presented with a surprise Christmas present. It was a text message from an owner who was a cocreator to a group here on Groups..Io end it was her idea. However, the gentleman that created the group, took somebody else's advice, and decided that the group was a joke it was no longer necessary. So he deleted it without speaking with the co-owner. Which it was her idea and his idea we found out that the group no longer existed because she could no longer pull it up in her groups list. And we both felt like that the sole owner should've spoke to one of us first before he just decided to drop it off the face of the earth. Whenever I approached him about this whole situation what he told me above is what he sent me in a text message. And this is not the first time that something like this is happened. Sometime early last year, something happened to him and he randomly decided to change my role in one of his groups without speaking to me first and mind you I did nothing absolutely nothing wrong. He just randomly changed my role. And I didn't think it was right he gave me my membership back as the sole co-owner of his group. Mind you, he was also juggling college at the time. So that was resolved now I've run into this issue. Which means I have to help her re-create the group. Which I think if I remember correctly, we have to wait a whole year before we can use the same name again. And which I don't really want to do due to the new guidelines that start on for January 18. And since none of us are nonprofits, I don't qualify for any of the discounts. The group may have only had one maybe 20 members, but we were hoping that eventually it would've grown. So does anybody have any advice as to what I should do? I have approached him and asked him, what would he feel like if I up and did something right to his group. And before anybody asks, yes it's very poor communication.

Joseph,

Which means I have to help her re-create the group. Which I think if I
remember correctly, we have to wait a whole year before we can use the
same name again.

As far as I know there is no defined time that the name of a deleted group is reserved, it is indefinite (forever). Unless you can talk Groups.io to intervene on your behalf.

And which I don't really want to do due to the new guidelines that
start on for January 18.

You can start the group with a different name now, and rename it later (after you've convinced Groups.io to release the name).

And since none of us are nonprofits, I don't qualify for any of the
discounts.

The only discount is for Enterprise plan groups, and I doubt you'd be looking for that plan.

The group may have only had one maybe 20 members, but we were hoping
that eventually it would've grown. So does anybody have any advice as to what I should do?

Create the replacement group now, and upgrade it to Premium before January 18th if you believe you'll want the extra features. If you can't sustain the fees for premium you may eventually have to drop back down to Basic, but given the upcoming pricing change you may want to lock in now if you anticipate growing beyond 400 members.

Great, thanks. The group has been created. And we've gotten some of our membership back. Now I just need to figure out whether I want to upgrade the group to premium in order to talk to Support about changing the name back to the previous name that we had.
