Most of our local Freecycle groups have switched to groups.io with no problems; all have the word "freecycle" in the group name. Most of us transferred from running our groups on Yahoo, having left th

Thank you Duane- modifying the word Freecycle solved the issue.

Someone else recently had a problem with a group name that contained the word Freecycle, https://groups.io/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/77489327. I wonder if Freecycle.org complained to Mark and he does
