I was looking for a fly fishing community and saw there wasn't one. I tried to make one and it it tells me there is already one made. I search for it agian and the search comes up blank again. What is going on?

I think this needs to be changed or a github ticket put in requesting the change, so that if a community had been deleted for a certain amount of time, the name can be reused by someone who wants to run the community. Otherwise, it can get very annoying rather quickly when you are trying to create a new community and the name you want to use it won't go through. This is just my opinion on this.
