Facebook Tip: Make Yourself Admin of Old Groups EDIT: No Longer Works

Today I went to Facebook. An ALF group I had joined was deserted by its creator, presumably due to the pressure on Facebook users to go private or eliminate anything unprofessional from their profiles (most often it happens when they're searching for a job).

Whatever the reason that caused the original admin to leave "I love Alf," I don't care. Now I'm the admin. I never had to setup the group, I never had to come up with the idea, and now I'm running it.

Not only did I become the admin of that group - I became the admin of at least six other groups today. Awesome. That's like finding six bucks on the ground and going to get lunch.

Go check your old groups and see if they need an admin. This will be especially prevalent for users who have been on Facebook for a couple years. I joined back in 2004 and immediately became a member of many goofy groups. Now those owners have deserted and I'm the boss.

So go see if you have a chance to become admin of a group you never even made. While you're at it, go ahead and join "I love Alf".

EDIT: This feature is no longer available.
