What happened to the original 5:2 Fasting group?

I came in this morning and the "5:2 Fasting" group was missing. I created this group in case others had the same experience.

I have no idea what happened...
Did I get banned from the original?
Did the original owner erase the whole group?
Can you even do that?

I wrote an email to technical support, I'll let everyone know what the reply is.

I hope that massive collection of experiences and knowledge isn't gone for good.

    Yep, no sign of it. I've added it to the "lost groups" thread on the website forum. Hope they find us!

    MFP has to have a way of bringing the info back or moving it to a new group. Geez... Melanie, you must have a novel's worth of information and stories in there.

    Everyone write tech support...I've received no reply as of yet.

    Anyone close with the original group creator? I can't remember her name...maybe send her a note and ask if she deleted it?

    My guess is it has something to do with the upgrades. Somebody oopsed. Thanks @orlcam for creating this group. Great idea.

    Just FYI, I don't really want to be (nor should I be) the "firekeeper" for the group...I'm an infant as far as MFP goes. I don't see a way to pass the group over to anyone. One thing I will never do is delete it. If I had to choose someone to own the group it would be @melaniecheeks.

    Didn't mean to imply you should be owner, all though I think you could do it. I meant to say that it was a great idea to create a "meeting place" for us 5:2ers to get connected until the original group gets restored.

    No, I know (thank you for the compliment), I just didn't want anyone to think they were stuck with a newb at the reins.

    UPDATE: MissMaggie3, the original creator of the 5:2 Fasting group, told me she wasn't aware that it was missing and that she would try to find out what happened and get back to me.

    How bizarre. I was looking at the group this morning (UK user) and now it's most definitely gone. Good to see something in its place. Thank you!

    I'm not the only one then. Thought I had been kicked out as there is no sign of the group. When I clicked on posts in my profile it just said "permission problem".

    UPDATE: Still nothing to report, MissMaggie3 says she has not received a response either. I posted a public question a little while ago.

    It looks like @Snaps27 has created another group:

    orlcam: I think she started that one because she doesn't know this one is here. If I knew how to do a link I would link this one there so she would know you already started one and that we are here.

    Yeah, I couldn't remember everyone (I had the picture of the keyboard in my mind)...I sent her an invite. I'll be a member of whichever group...but I'm still waiting to see what happens with the original group.
