If nobody is moderating the groups, why not unmoderate them
instead of removing them, if they get use, fair enough, if not,
there is no harm, no extra resources used other than a handful of
bytes for a one line entry in active file which already has
thousands of unmoderated groups that haven't been posted to in 10
years anway. 

 
The group lists are full of unused groups and that makes finding
active groups much harder, so cleaning that up is always a good
idea. We are here to discuss which of the groups might be still
relevant and might be revived. 

 
an extra few hundred is hardly going to mater, especially when of the
53419 "Active" /cough/ groups here, I'd be betting 80% or greater are
inactive, and have for many years.

I advocate for deleting them. I sometimes go through group lists and
see groups with interesting topics, but all empty. Not a good user
experience, so a cleanup is always a good idea.
