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.

Oh no, there was tons of info there. Please bring it back :-(0

Yep, no sign of it. I've added it to the "lost groups" thread on the website forum. Hope they find us!0

Not on my list eaith - such a shame if it's gone for good 0

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.melaniecheeks wrote: »Not on my list eaith - such a shame if it's gone for good
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.0
-
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.0

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.0

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.jknight001 wrote: »Didn't mean to imply you should be owner, all though I think you could do it.

Thanks for recreating the group...thought I had been voted off the island!0

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.0
-
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!0
-
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".0
-
another group I was a member of disappeared also. Very weird. anyways, thanks Orlcam for starting this

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.0
-
very weird... thanks for the invite!0
-
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.loveswalking wrote: »orlcam: I think she started that one because she doesn't know this one is here.

Hi all, Glad to see so many of you here. Yes I did create a site just case becasue I missed the old one so much, so I just wanted to keep going with it. I will keep mine going for anyone who what to have a look (some new members have joined) and I will also keep following this one. Glad to see everyone so dedicated to our discussions.0 -
Hi all!
I was part of the old group too :-( I will post a link to this group for my friends to read. I have alot of 5:2ers on my friends list. I really hope the old group turns up again! Lots of good infos there!0 -
That would be great, I would hate to see all of us get splintered. I am good with photos (I remembered yours) but not names (heheh), I really get thrown off when someone changes their photo...bad habit I need to break.I was part of the old group too :-( I will post a link to this group for my friends to read. I have alot of 5:2ers on my friends list. I really hope the old group turns up again! Lots of good infos there!

I was beginning to panic. I thought I'd been deleted from it. I've posted a link on my page so my friends who were on it can re-join.0

The name was "5:2 Fasting". Same as this group.
I sent them that in an email also...I received a generic type of response.0
