Yes, I have a password. I the owner for two groups.

When I try and create an “nasota” group, the error message is "That address has already been taken." ?

wunder,
We can’t create the group, but when I send mail to [it], I get thisThat suggests to me that someone already created a group by that name, then deleted it. The name of a deleted group remains reserved indefinitely. You could write to [email protected] to see if Mark will unlock the name for you. Shal |
开云体育Thanks, makes sense.

If you create a group, and then due to complaints about similarity to a group on facebook, google, or YG You rename the group, Is the original group name reserved indefinitely as well? Or can you rename your group back to the original name at a later date? I created a group.io list (3G) as a place for a popular YG list (3G) to relocate. The (3G) list owner has decided to go down with the ship and let the (3G) list die with YG. I renamed my groups.io (3Gone) list to distance itself from the old YG (3G)list. Now it sounds like if the old YG (3G)list decides to save itself it can not create a new groups.io list with the (3G)name I had originally used. KEN "It has always seemed strange to me," said Doc.

Ken,
If you create a group, and then ... You rename the group, Is theNo, I'm pretty sure it isn't reserved at all after a rename. Or can you rename your group back to the original name at a laterYes, assuming no one else has taken the name by then. Shal |

Good guess. The North American Summits on the Air group, “nasota” at Yahoo! (), is the one we are considering moving to . is an informational site for the same thing.

Barb,
The name of a subgroup has two components. One is the name in common with its primary group (the "subdomain" name), which was the primary group's name before it had any subgroups. See for example the beta group - it's primary is now "main", and "beta" is in common with its subgroups.
The "subdomain" or primary name must be unique system-wide, but the subgroup names only need to be unique with respect to each other.
If the existing group has no (important) content, and you want to simply start it over as a subgroup, that I think you can just do using the same name without first needing to rename or delete the existing group. Because that subgroup name will be "inside" the primary group name, in a way like one folder inside another.If the existing group does have important content it would take an action by support to pick it up and make it a subgroup of another group. Same answer, no name conflict (and that would likely leave the original group name unreserved).
?
Delete reserves, rename does not. So if you want to delete a group and later re-use its name, rename it before you delete it.
