Hope I can get this question in before deadline ...

Is there a way of renaming a dormant group or do I have to start a new one?

As far as I know, you cannot rename a group.  So a new one is your only option.

You cannot rename a group.

[Alexios Donardson]

once you create a group, you cant use that name again.

[TylerRose Nexen]

All you can do is start a new one.   Sorry.

[Lola Longully]

Ok, that seems to settle that. Thanks everyone

You could speak with LL direct and see what they have to say... they may help at a cost.

Lindens do have the power to rename groups. They do it all the time if a group is abuse-reported for obscenity or something else that's objectionable (for example, the use of a real-world law enforcement agency's name to mislead people into thinking they are that agency; the misuse of an avatar or business name as a form of griefing).

I think for them, it's as easy as renaming a Word document in their system.

However, imagine the flood of requests if they made that function readily available even just through a ticket system.

Everyone who has ever messed up in a name or rethought a name would bombard them.

So you try asking them in a ticket filed with support and they might go for it, but I'm thinking they won't, and you will have to make a new one.

BTW, I've never seen them fetch expired groups back, either but you could try.
