Public Groups

[steve12]

....How about making it possible to create or join a public group? If you click on ANYONE's name on these forums it always says "____ is not part of any public groups." I've asked a lot of people who've been here for a while, and they have no idea how to join one. Perhaps there could be various features and advantages through being in a public group... If this can't be fixed then I suggest the box stating the person is no part of any public groups be removed. Just a little thing that's been annoying me for two years or so..

Like Myspace groups? So just go onto myspace?

No... I just thought since they have that box saying a person is not a member of any public groups.... it should have a purpose. Since there are no public groups, there is no point in having it. Just thought it would make these forums a little more interesting. I hate myspace.

EDIT: Congrats on 9k. :)

Oh, no, no, no. That means they're part of some actual group or organization, like I'm in the boy scouts. You can't join them by clicking a link.

Not really practical sir. It is however a need in some forums.

Note that we have tried that on legends, making silly groups like "Squirrel Squad", and "Lobster group"

Sad to say it did not work out...

I think it would be cool to make groups.

Ya, vB has that option with it. But I don't think it would work out to well. Nice idea though.

They are popular at first then they go boring.

Mmmm... well I was leaning to more permanent groups like clans... but of coarse the immature groups would reign for the beginning.
