Hello, everybody...
It was so good and so very useful, that we could change the names of the groups... For example, I own the Spiritual Art Group, founded to promote the events of my previous Spiritual Art Gallery, founded in, 2008, that ended in 2014.
Now, since 2021, I'm the owner and art curator of the Kondor Art Center... ti was excellent to rename the group, with a more adequate name, referring the Kondor Art Center.
Can you please tell me when will it be possible ?
Thank you
Best regards
Hermes Kondor

This is an important suggestion as group members are already in place and would not need to join a "new" group. Also, removing members from a group to close it feels bad. No one likes being booted, regardless of the reason, which reduces the likelihood that they will join a "replacement" group.

I agree strongly, would be such a lovely thing to do, sometimes you make a group with some idea in mind and then it evolves and you have to spend more money and invite people again to new groups and that makes you lose members too. Brilliant idea which I have been asking LL in chat since 2008 since I have been a member of SL. It will help businesses a lot.

In fact LL can rename groups and they have done so. Not for casual reasons like "I'd like to rename my Chicken Nugget Lovers group to Hot Wings Only because I don't like chicken nuggets anymore", but the two cases I witnessed, after a long abuse report procedure they renamed a group called Aryan Sisterhood Club to ASC and another called Irish Republican Army (IRA) to Investment Retirement Account (IRA). So yes, they can do it. Probably only willing to when they really must, though, which is understandable because otherwise they'd be flooded with group rename requests all the time.

It occurs to me that an unintended consequence of this otherwise desirable change, might be that groups become valuable property and could be bought and sold.
