Jason Fried(@jasonfried):New in Basecamp 5: Now you can add or remove people from existing ping groups. Prior to this, once a group was created, it was set in stone. If you wanted to add another person, or take someone out, you had to create another group which meant losing the previous chat history from that initial group. No longer! This has been a top customer request, and it's been a long time coming, but it's here! Thanks for your patience, and hope you find it useful!
