We've just had the first ever group spring clean. With 366 discussion groups having been created in the past 20 or so months and many of them unused and lacking in discussion we decided to have a clean out.
So over the past week we have deleted around 250 groups, with more possibly to follow as we evaluate the groups we have remaining.
Your group may not have been deleted completely though as we have also merged the discussions of a number of groups. For example, the number of groups based around a single instrument was phenomenal, so we merged them altogether into a single Musical People group.
So if you're group was connected to the following topics they have been merged: animals, cars, chocolate, Christmas, Dr. Who, food, football, movies, music (bands and songs), musical instruments, random chat, sports, Top Gear/The Stig, travel, and video games.
We have also restructured the group categories based upon the groups you have created since we launched two years ago. We'll write more about this next week!
We hope that by having fewer groups this will help create more discussion as you only see the discussion groups that are actually having discussions!
