What to do when one member abandons the swap?

Hello,
I am a member of Triangle Swap # 8762. One of the members (RidetheFreakingLightning) has been offline for around 70 days. The other two of us (dmzNode and Gator) are unsure of how to proceed.  Should we delete the swap and or change it to a dual one?

Leave the swap as is for historical purposes. You should force close the channel to be safe.

You can probably keep the channel you have with the remaining online node open.  Even though you close the channel the offline node.
Then you can open another channel between the two of you or rebalance the channel you have to ensure liquidity on both ends.

Each lightning channel should be viewed individually.
Swaps do not have any enforcement mechanism between multiple channels so it's a personal decision on a per channel basis how to proceed.
