I have a group--group-idea: if only there were tools provided to merge groups - what group-hysteria that would be!
Merging Groups/Teams!
If both groups' members were unanimous on this theme, why would they need the site to do this for them? Once all members from both groups have joined the preferred group, the remaining group could be discontinued (I assume that capability exists, not so sure considering the Huge quantity of disused groups).
If members of both groups are not all in agreement, is this suggestion fair? As it imposes on those who disagree.

Exciting news!
Two awesome groups, The Blakenators and THE PREMIER OF ALL, led by Daniel Blake (The_Blakenator), are joining Chess Association!
Members of The Blakenators and THE PREMIER OF ALL will be asked to join Chess Association, as we combine forces to create the most popular, successful, and best group on Chess.com.
To faciliate the integration of our groups, we have asked the Chess.com support staff if they can transfer all members of The Blakenators and THE PREMIER OF ALL to Chess Association.
