Dresden Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 So, I've a bizarre issue: Just recently, I decided to disband and rid myself of three groups which I'd created. So, I kicked everyone out of those three groups. The first two groups were disbanded within two days as was expected, but the third continues to linger on in my group list for weeks now with only me as a member. So, what should I do... file a support ticket or just remove myself from that "ghost" group and forget about it?...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheriColette Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Same has happened to me..nearly two years ago now. Im not premium member so went though my groups and weeded out the ones not using anymore so I can add others. From time to time I think I should do something, tell LL maybe, but then I forget again.

Taeem Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Groups seem to have a tendency to act up since some weeks to me. I´d first ask a friend if they can see the group still, if they can´t, sure, remove yourself and forget about it, if it will let you leave the group at all, obviously, that is, I´d not count on that before I´d have tried lol If they can see the group, I´d (try to) leave it, too, after having triple checked that the group isn´t set to open join and is set to not show in search, just in case it lingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dresden Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Sounds like a good idea to me. Thanks. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirly Fizzle Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Your group may not have disbanded because defunct accounts may still be members of your group but they won't show in the members list in the viewer - this is BUG-5586. The last server roll included a change which looks like it may fix this problem however - http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_Server/15#15.12.14.309144 Some of the group member counts as reported in the viewer will now be larger. These member counts will include inactive users, and will only updated on a daily basis. This change is to help with some of the problems we have encountered recently with group functions.

Dresden Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks Whirly... that makes sense. As of today I still see only myself in the group. But, I noticed that the update you posted was for the main channel... would it make a difference if I'm not on a main channel sim? (My home sim is on Magnum.) Should I try going to a main channel sim? Actually, more importantly, should I even worry about going through the trouble of finding one or just waiting or perhaps having to contact support over this? Since I have the group hidden from search and have it set so that no one can join, would it really be a huge issue if I just left the group in order to just be done with it? ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are the last Owner of the group & you attempt to leave, you will get the error: "Unable to leave group. You cannot leave the group because you are the last owner of the group. Please assign another member to the owner role first." If you can leave the group, I would just do that & forget about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dresden Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Oh okay... I haven't tried. Plus, I was thinking I should probably get it worked out before I did something that anyway... just cause it's probably better than leaving it floating out there somewhere (figuratively, of course). ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheriColette Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Whirly is right. I get that message when I tried to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilliJo Aldrin Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Why get rid of the group? Just set it private and unsearchable, add an alt, then use the group to create 10 amusing tags to wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dresden Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Because I don't need it and, since we can only have so many groups, why just leave it there taking up a slot? I already have my land group for tags. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirLeighBastard Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Change the name of the group to ***bleep***theLindens, then report it. It will disappear quicker than you can say ***bleep***theLindens. ***Call me for original answers to complex issues; just don't do it in the ANSWERS forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheriColette Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 hmmm tempting. I wonder if there will be consequences though?? Your solution reminded my of this joke: The Italian Tomato Garden Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If only you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me. Love Dad A few days later he received a letter from his son: Dear Dad, Not for nothing, but don't dig up that garden. That's where I buried the BODIES. Love Vinnie At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived at the old man's house and dug up the entire area. However, they didn't find any bodies, so they apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son. Dear Dad, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love Vinnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
