Group Mergers

    A while ago, as most of you know, I made some suggestions for new options for group owners (https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=13863). I am now suggesting something again involving groups, which would help me and many other people. An option to merge groups. Basically, if a group owner decides to merge his group, he can submit a merger registration to the owner of the group he wants to merge into. If accepted, this moves all threads into the new forum and moves all members to the new group. What are your thoughts on this idea?

     What if someone who owns a group wants to merge into another one so he can both get more people in his group from the merge and create a new group since his old one is gone. Also, if a group owner wants to merge and some of his members are inactive at the time, none will know to move unless the system actually moves them as part of the merge.

    Groups are important to many people.

    I'm confused on how this will work...

     It will work. (for awhile). But as I said, it'll crumble in a year.

    This can be important, because for example Aperture just merged with someone in a new group and the group limit prevents me getting in it.
