Info/Instructions: Tested in 6.2.3 and in 6.1.1. In 6.3 version I checked only tables names.
Hack write for 6.2, but it will work for 6.1.x when we delete "get_input" lines.

Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.
I wouldn't recommend this hack. I posted a reason in another thread but I'll repost it here in case anyone misses it.
Deleting groups isn't a good idea, which is why deleting a group was never an admin function. The U_Groups field is a varchar field, max limit of 255. The G_Id in the Groups table is an auto_incremented field. To make it so a user can belong to the maximum number of groups .threads enforces the max group # to 99, 2 digits in length. When you delete a group that G_Id will not be reused since it's an auto_inc field so eventually you'll end up not being able to create any new groups. That's why in 6.4 they don't actually delete they just get disabled.
