Hello reader,

I have noticed since I started ROBLOX in 2011 that there are many groups with no members. This is usually the result of another "clan" group taking over. They make it private, so nobody can take over the group.

I am disappointed about this because a group called "The Blue Shocks", was one I put a lot of effort and time in, and is a part of my history. However it was taken over and shut down by one of these "clans", and now I cannot take the group for myself and rebuild it.

That is why I am suggesting a system where inactive groups with no members can have their names freed up after a certain amount of time, say 6 months or something. That way other people can take the group's name, so the group's name is not wasted. It will also help ROBLOX, because inactive groups take a lot o storage in ROBLOX's servers.

Please spread this by linking your friends to this post. Together, we may be able to see a system like this in the future.

You can add a double space between words. Like The Blue Shocks and it will look normal.

I think clans that are not owned should not be request to join, but then again at the same time I do, it depends on the situation. I say support, but only with a certain point to keep.


Only the original leader of the group can shut it down, nobody else. This eliminates other clans shutting down other clans.

This is like saying, "hey, perhaps we should go dig up all the remains of humans and dump them elsewhere instead of leaving them to rest!"

As much as I like this idea, I doubt ROBBLOX mods will want to waste their time going through every group to see how inactive they are.

Unless of course, they implement an automated system.

I was in 2011 roblox and I think we need clans to die out in order to save our groups


Haters are unprofessional.

"I have noticed since I started ROBLOX in 2011"
Yet your join-date shows 2012?

"that there are many groups with no members. This is usually the result of another "clan" group taking over. They make it private, so nobody can take over the group."

Yes, this is because of wars which both owners agree to.

"I am disappointed about this because a group called "The Blue Shocks", was one I put a lot of effort and time in, and is a part of my history. However it was taken over and shut down by one of these "clans", and now I cannot take the group for myself and rebuild it."

Did you own it? Then you must have handed it over yourself. If not, your leader did it. Blame him/her

"It will also help ROBLOX, because inactive groups take a lot o storage in ROBLOX's servers."
WHat do you mean? Deleting a group which takes up no space will free space?


Utter drivel. No support.

I agree, not only to that, but also that their should be the ability to change a group's name if you already own it. I wish to change my group's type entirely (from war/detective agency to fitness forum), but it doesn't make sense with the name.

I can't tell you how many beautiful name-snipes exist without owners. The join policy should automatically change to free join when the owner leaves without assigning a new leader.
