I've also been told that it's tricky to remove a group, which means if you want to disband it, you have to manually remove all your members one by one unless you want to potentially subject them to a spammy takeover like has happened here. Removing members from your groups is also a pretty painfully slow process.
- mnicole 14y agoI got this very email about a month or two ago and was pretty startled that they'd just up and let anyone take over instead of having the admin determine a plan for the group if he leaves or doesn't keep his payments up when he creates the group. It was totally out of the blue and there wasn't even an opportunity for him to send out one final message or let people know what was going on. Given the way the site looks and functions, I'm surprised there isn't a more popular alternative. If anyone knows of any, I'd love to hear about it.
- c1sc0 14y agoCan you point to an example of this happening before? (edit to answer my own question:) I found this & yes that seems scary as hell: "Neglect to pay the Org dues for greater than 14 days, in which case the group becomes available and anyone can take it over" http://www.meetup.com/boards/thread/27771222 http://www.meetup.com/boards/thread/27771222
