Why did you take away 2 Memories Groups

Why did you take away the following groups? I miss being able to see the comments and sections titled Known Issues and Issues Recently Resolved

Memories Feedback' & 'Memories (People and Find Pages)' groups

I'm sure that a major factor was the lack of activity. I was a member of the Memories Feedback group, and over the last few months, there were only one or two posts per month, and sometimes a month would go by with no posts. Having a separate group when there is also a category for Memories just splits up the posts into different places, which is not not helpful.

If there are significant issues recently resolved, an announcement to that effect could be posted in the Memories category. I don't recall the Known Issues or Issues Recently Resolved in the Memories Feedback group being updated in the recent past anyway, so it's not a great loss. I'm happy with the change — there are still too many groups with pitifully meager activity, so even more groups should be retired.

In September, staff posted that a review of Groups had just been completed and changes would be coming:
