Surviving Community Survey

Surviving Community Survey
Inspired by Eli Fennell's recent post, I propose a project to survey existing Communities for the ones likely to make it beyond the 60 day deletion clock.

I've created a form to submit them here: https://forms.gle/SzQ6yZaKD6KtkmRYA

The list of responses can be viewed here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O0P-caFX3enI8HnrRaCqmHQD2bx65kj84PT9K13zIVo/edit?usp=sharing

Basically, just go through your communities and look for any that don't have a red band across the top. If it has a yellow band (only one GSuite owner) or no band (multiple GSuite owners), submit it. Once we've got a good collection, we can see if there are gaps we'd like to close before making new ones becomes impossible.

To find who the owners are, just click on the little member bubbles above the community name, then choose "Moderators" from the drop-down where it says "Members" by default.

  1. Great! I found a couple where four or five owners were listed, but only one was a GSuite account, so I'm on cleanup duty looking for that kind of thing. Just submit all the owners listed for the community and I'll do my best to verify which ones are really still here.

  2. Michael J. Coffey I found & submitted one community that had 3 owners. Idk how to tell if someone uses GSuite though.

  3. I am (now) the owner of a couple of communities that were linked to respective Podcasts, and where the conversation had moved elsewhere, so I'm not going to add those, as they're not appropriate for general use.

    The G+ Help Community is also owned by Googlers with GSuite ants, but again, the Help channel has now moved to
    https://support.google.com/plus/community?hl=

    As only a couple of Product Experts have GSuite accounts, I'd really appreciate that one NOT being on the list!

  4. Chik Nuggets「тм」 when you go to a community, you should see a pop-up warning you if it has no GSuite owners, or only one. If the warning is that it only has one, then it can go on the list.

    You may only see the warning if you haven't visited "recently" though.
