Again, did you check out `gnus-init-file'? What does
it say? Evaluate any of these lines to find out:

    gnus-init-file
    (describe-variable 'gnus-init-file)

Also, what do you mean when you say you "quit Gnus"?

Here are three ways:

    http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/Exiting-Gnus.html

    or evaluate: (info "(Gnus)Exiting Gnus")

`gnus-group-quit' and probably best `gnus-group-exit'
should be fine, but not `gnus-group-suspend'. Killing
the *Group* buffer should be fine, but that isn't
mentioned (there) so perhaps that should be avoided.
You can confirm Gnus is killed with (gnus-alive-p)
before you restart it with `gnus'.
