Hi there,

Here is a scenario that I will need to get ready for. I am planning a site with 2 profiles. One 'free', with limited access and another 'premium' with full access. The free account will only be able to have 100 friends and 5 groups that they can join. What happens if a premium user (one with full access, as many friends and groups they wish for) downgrades their account to free. How would the system 'choose' which friends to keep and which groups to keep them in and which ones to not allow them access to??
Hello David,

When you downgrade currently, the friends and groups are retained as it is but if you try to add more friends or join more groups, it'll alert you with a notice

Hello David,

It doesn't currently "strip" off or "remove" these friends or groups because the system wouldn't know which to remove (Although I wish that it's more intelligent to determine which friends / groups it should retain).

Hi Mark,

Hm. That is a bit of a problem (not the end of the world but not great). Any plans to do that in the future? Even if it kept the initial friends or groups?

Thank you for your hard work. It is really a great system you created.
