hello. sorry if this was asked before, but i have a question about group land. Is it possible for 5 premium members to donate their 512 sq.m. land (each member has no other land other than the given 512 sq.m.) to a group? Is this allowed because a friend of mine was telling me differently about how some members need to donate more than just 512 sq.m.?
Thanks for any answers!

The 5 (or whatever number) members can donate any or all of their free 512 and any additional tier that they're willing to pay for. There is nothing to force any of them to donate more than their 512. If 5 members each donate 512sqm of tier, the group can own 2560 sqm plus a bonus 256 for a total of 2716 sqm. This only applies to land deeded to the group, and only on mainland sims. Land that is only SET to the group and not DEEDED will stay the property and responsibility of it's original owner. Land on privately owned sims doesn't need to have tier donated to the group, a representative of the group just has to pay the landlord.

And I forgot to add that you need to be extremely careful about the group permissions given to different people. If it's your group, you don't want anyone other than yourself and maybe your alts to be owners in the group. Owners and anyone else in a role that allows selling the group's land can wipe out everything you've worked for if they get upset for some reason. Anyone that has the "Pay group liabilities and receive group dividends" ability checked will recieve an equal portion of the money from any group owned land that gets sold.
