Remove a Community from the Server

There are three ways to remove a chat community from a server. The method you choose depends on the desired outcome:

• Disconnect all current users on the chat community and prevent the community from accepting new connections.
• Disconnect all current users on the chat community and prevent the community from accepting new connections, but retain the community in order to re-enable it at a future time.
• Disconnect all current users on the chat community and remove the community entirely from the server.

Caution   Removing a chat community from the server abruptly disconnects all connected users.
