Are you the admin of a Facebook group that's no longer in active use? If you want the page to stay the way it is and don't want to delete it entirely, the other option you have is to archive it.
When you archive a Facebook group, new members can't be added, and current members can't make new posts or comment on old ones: They can only view what's already there. If you're in a group where the posting now is no longer relevant to the original purpose, archiving the Facebook group is a good option. As the admin, you can also un-archive the Facebook group at any time.
Here's how to archive a Facebook group on your Mac or PC.
