Inactive groups?
Help to get rid of inactive groups
Test the true activity of your groups. The group activity is not only about number of members and contributions. Upload some test images and keep them as "Me only (private)".
Then share such images as one only per every group where you are a member. Sharing private images on groups make them visible on those groups only. Other group members can still comment on them.
Example:
You may become surprised to get only very few or zero views on such images. That is because people don't usually visit group pages to see what other group members have contributed. Most likely people only follow what their contacts have posted. Or they visit Explore to see if their own images appear there, and then may have a look on some other interesting images as well. Only very popular groups, challenge groups, and playful game groups becomes visited regularly. When your photos become visited, liked and commented, you may think it is because you have shared them on multiple groups. But very likely people have seen them because you are among their contacts.
Please do not continue using groups where people only dump their images, and never visits them! Contributing neglected groups does not make your images seen because nearly no one visits those groups anyway. By leaving such groups you make a statement to stop supporting such behavior.

GroupBusters are first dealing with groups administrated and abandoned by Guest accounts found as dormant for several years OR otherwise discovered abandoned. And now thanks to feedback, the message is softened on cases where takeover is found reasonable:
www.ipernity.com/doc/2609502/50740390
And if and when active member account(s) administrating any groups are found (Club member, or recently active Guest), then the account has been contacted first to ask what could be done with the group(s).
What comes to groups not looked after, it indeed does not cause direct costs. But the ipernity's reputation may suffer when search for groups returns "noise" and neglected groups:
www.ipernity.com/search/group?w=0&q=flowers
Newbies does not know which one to choose from if the quick search returns number of groups opened and abandoned after years of collective disinterest to seek solutions. Someone may have had enough when finding some groups abandoned, and then opened a new one, which again have become abandoned:
www.ipernity.com/group/flowers
It now competes with all other groups on the same topic, occupies the URL name ../flowers, and makes cleaning even more difficult.
So, should GroupBusters give up? And let things go as already gone for years.
a group admin must do this, and also invite pics he likes in the administred group
Each of us should know where to post, and overall, when you post, you should fairly comment on others........
Nothing speaks against deleting abandoned grous and nothing speaks against deleting groups.
Posting a checking pic to a group and deleting after a certain response time might hit some active but not regularly visited groups. So an active member might get angry. Having a thousand+ active members an annoyed member weighs way more than an annoyed flickr member (as for an example).
So there are two sides: a possible benefit helping newbies (how many do we have per month) to find groups and a possible annoyment for existing members.
that's all. probability calculation. what is of more use to us? ;-)
I don't know. I'ld just like to point out possible disadvantages.
So, also our group guidelines try to emphasise that:
Avoid duplicates
If there is already a public group on a topic, it is usually no good idea to create an additional one of your own. For external visitors, a fragmented ipernity is unattractive. You'd better join the existing group and enrich it with your content. In this way you help to keep ipernity clear, lively and interesting.
Limit yourself to what is most important to you
It is not a good idea to administer or moderate more than 20 groups. If you have a lot of time, you might double it. But anything beyond that will eventually overtax you - or the quality will suffer. By then at the latest, the ima team would have to intervene to regulate.
Now I administer over 100 abandoned groups. Hopefully temporarily! Many of them are duplicates. I do my best to negotiate with the Club members, to make the transition as easy as possible.
