Steps To Reproduce

  • Create a new group with just yourself as the owner & only member

  • Or eject all members out of an older group you are sole owner of, so that you are the only member left.

  • Attempt to leave the group.

    Observed Behaviour

  • When you are a group owner and you are the only remaining member in the group, you are able to leave the group so that the group has zero members.

  • After you have left the group & the group has zero members, the group is still visible in web search but opening the group profile just shows the group name as loading & founder as "nobody".

  • As soon as a group has zero members, the group disappears from legacy group search immediately.

    Expected Behaviour

  • Unless I am going (more) crazy then normal, this is new behaviour.

  • It used to be impossible for the last member of a group who is group owner to manually leave the group - you had to wait for the group to disband.

    Other information

  • Example group: Bollocks Testing Group

  • See attached images

    • Fig 1 - Bollocks testing group visible in web search while it still had 3 memebers - expected.
    • Fig 2 - Bollocks testing group visible in legacy group search (Firestorm) while it still had 3 members - expected.
    • Fig 3 - Other 2 members ejected from Bollocks testing group & only one owner member left.
    • Fig 4 - Leave option is enabled in the viewer when I am the last owner group member.
    • Fig 5 - Gif - Viewer allows me to leave the group when I'm the only member & owner.
    • Fig 6 - Zero member group still shows in web search but opens a broken group profile
    • Fig 7 - Zero member group removed immediately from legacy group search (Firestorm).

A warning along the lines of 'You are about to leave a group of which you are the sole member; this will result in the group being disbanded. Do you really wish to do this?' would be nice.

Just wanted to note what Rolig said in this forum thread.
If a group owns land, the group won't disband when it only has 1 member.
I wasn't actually aware of this & didn't test it to see if it's true.
However because the last member can now leave a group without waiting for it to disband, this may cause some fun if the group owns land & no-one can manage it.

FWIW, I can confirm this and it isn't new. I've found myself the last owner of a group on a few occasions over he years, and was able to leave the group with no issues. I can't say how long ago I last tried, I'm afraid. And I did this at least twice. The group(s) didn't own anything, if that matters.
