I received notices too about the groups that I'm in that were being canceled.

First of all you should know if you are the moderator of a group. Second of all, groups are canceled if they are inactive for a period of 2 months according to what I received. Did you receive a notice of cancellation without an explanation?

I have not been notified, but I've also not started a group, nor belong to any of those cancelled.

You're being notified, as it's the better alternative to finding your group has disappeared without notice.

Gawd, Don't tell me we have bureaucracy in Agnostic.com too. The inexplicable compounded by the irrational leads to malaise

It would be a good idea to to re-start the Dylan Group as there at least 5 of us who now know that it once existed and would like to have joined.

After all..... they're selling postcards of the hanging and painting the passports brown

I think it's just so you know. I received notice a few weeks ago that the "Battling Woo" group was closed, due to no activity in the past 2 months. I appreciated learning about the closure, as I battle woo a lot and I make mental notes to myself to bring the topic up for discussion, but apparently there aren't all that many of us who have this problem. I didn't start that group, but I would have appreciated the community of others battling the same thing. Oh well. Guess I know not to start one of my own, since it would flop too!

You are not being singled out. I assume the messages are a courtesy on the chance that questions might arise as to the disappearance of the groups. I appreciate being notified.

I’m not a member of any of these groups, but I was notified that one of the groups I belong to had been cancelled, due to a lack of activity.

I can’t answer this question...I’m not in any of these groups and never knew any of them existed. I think you will have to ask Admin. I expect if there has been no activity in a group for a long period of time they may decide to close them...if so then I think a couple of mine will be closed down soon too. I inherited all of the groups I’m host to, but I really only post regularly in the music groups.

I didn't even KNOW there was a Dylan group, or I would've joined.

i got some notifications too. they send them to members, not just moderators.

First I'm hearing of it.

You received that message because you are / were a member of those groups.. It doesn't mean you're the host or moderator.. I got a message about the beto group being cancelled... If there's no activity for two months, the group is deleted...

You receive the notice if you are in the groups.

I received notice for two other groups.

I wasn't moderator or originator for either group. Simply a member.

Admin didn't state a reason? I know a group I was admin of didn't have any activity for 3 months so it was closed by admin.

Well I hope not, and I didn’t know the Bob Dylan group existed or I would have been on it!

I have seen nothing.

I have not started any groups so I don't know what the criteria is for keeping them open. It seems to me you should be told if you are being made a moderator for a group. Not fair to just dump it on you.
