Taken Group Names

Something to keep in mind is that groups still have things like group funds / places / etc when they’re abandoned, so it wouldn’t be a great idea to open up empty groups just because they’re empty. In fact, at one point people were going through empty groups and claiming them en masse just for the funds. Another issue is if someone compromises a group owner’s account, gets it down to 0 members, and then the group is automatically deleted. In light of this, if we were to do something like this, it would probably be a good idea to: Act on groups that have been with 0 members after x time, instead of instantly
Change the group’s name to something random (e.g. 12014082305892346) like ROBLOX does for content deletions to free up the name but not the funds/assets

When a user creates a place & then said user’s account is deleted, the place owner doesn’t change. I don’t think any different should happen with group places. I see what you’re saying about groups funds also. Maybe ROBLOX could payout all the funds to the last member to leave the group if the funds are not already taken.
