Your group has been successfully created. A few things have changed with group submission. Groups are now automatically created, but a 60 day probation period is also enabled for every new group. Groups must have at least 3 members to remain in existence. New groups that never meet this 3 member level will be automatically deleted at the end of the probation period. Established groups will receive warnings of the impending deletion. Bungie reserves the right to delete a group at any time, whether in the probation period or not.

Why does it only require 3 members for a private group to remain in existence? Why not 5?.... or more!?

Didn't it used to be five?

I guess because having a group entirely to yourself is bad for resources? Everyone would create a group if there wasn't a minimum limit. I would. Having a minimum means more people wont create a group, this space is being saved.

Thall.

Kinda lonely having a group all to yourself.

The square root of 7 is 2.6, rounded up (to a whole) is 3. Maybe I'm reading into it too much.

Only after we ban Bricypoo.

I think he meant why isn't it more than 3. That way someone can't just create 2 alts to keep their group a live. They would actually have to be a some what successful group.

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

There are more practical ways for two people to communicate? That's all I got.

It takes 2 to tango, but 3 to have a good time...

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

2 people can PM to communicate efficiently, 3 people cannot.

You've obviously never had a 3 person conversation with your alts in a group.

If you have 3 admins for a larger group, they need a way to communicate. That's the only time I've ever seen a 3-person group.

  • 10.12.2011 6:24 AM PDT

I always wondered what was up with the three person limit. One thing that I have noticed though is that it doesn't always delete the groups after 60 days, which leads me to believe that an administrator must manually run the deletion script. I could be wrong though :P

I think 3 is too little. It's not hard at all to get 3 members. I think 7 is appropriate.

You just answered your own question in probably the best way possible. :D

LOL @ everyone who thinks its an arbitrary limit. The logic is simple.

I feel like 3 is a good number, I am in a few groups where we have a group to act as a council for the main group. Sometimes you only have a few admins but they still need to be able to communicate effectively.
