| A stalwart of the site recently closed their account, taking with them a variety of forums, contests, groups, and exclusive MBs and awards. I've been curious for a while... What becomes of the exclusive treasures a person has commissioned when they leave? I don't think the exclusives default to the community. It seems rather they simply disappear, surviving only in people's collections. |
| I believe it depends on the items. Certain items (such as Groups, Message Forums and Static Items, to name a few) must be transferred to another member before the original host leaves. I'm not sure about commissioned items such as Merit Badges and Awardicons. Perhaps they are exempted from disappearing. I'm pretty sure this is a question for Staff. The StoryMaster? |
Kinda wonder a little bit myself, as the Anthro Merit Badge is tied to my Non-Humans R Us group.

| Anthro is available for me to give out as part of the community... Certain others are only available to different group levels, like for instance Gaby's Game of Thrones collection. |
True, it's Publicly available, but it's linked to my group.

| Greets, If a badge required group membership to give out and the group no longer exists, no one would have the permissions to give the badge. Badges that allowed community awarding continue to exist under the Legacy Group Badge system which explains “ The group that created this badge is no longer available. Since this badge was created for the community to award, it continues to exist as a Legacy Group Badge.” For an example see the “Roaring 20s” badge. But yes, unfortunately for those badges that did require one be a member of the group — they can’t be given any longer as the group no longer exists to provide that needed access to give — and we will not “override” the original wishes of the creator by allowing other previously unauthorized people to give it. Best, SM
