Groups

[dogboy123]

I really don't see the point in having groups. Hardly anybody uses them anymore and they just seem a waste of space. They were fun when first introduced, now like nobody uses them anymore. Think they should be removed

Tbh I never liked them. They are really pointless. I don't see the need for them.

I agree to be fair, I don't think it is worth keeping them.

Said this from the start

They are stupid, if people want to talk to each other about certain things that is what the forum is for surely? All they do is tell people to use them instead of post..

The awards will be the same imo.

I disagree. Firstly I don't think it's a good idea to be adding useful features to the forum and then taking them away as soon as people get bored. Secondly, groups allow for more freedom than simply posting on the forum. They're meant for collectively sharing interests and I can't see them doing any harm. Newer members might also enjoy them, as most of you did when they were new.

Why not a 'tags' thing for interests? A bit like on habbo?

An name me 3 useful things about groups. I personally don't think 'MATT-GARNER APPRECIATION GROUP' is much use. But still.

P.S. Sorry Matt - had a look at the how groups thing earlier and thats what group appeared lol

[hah]

yeah i agree... to many people were allowed create to many pointless ones and it became stupid and boring. i think they were almost expecting it to be some sort of feature that would get the forum popular again and more posts etc and it didnt work........

Perhaps the group doesn't have to be of 'much use', but at the end of the day it's a bit of fun. Groups add to the whole social aspect of the forum and I think that, particularly with the merge, they are a good feature to have when trying to encourage new members to sign up and stick around.

[hah]

i dont really see how making a group is fun... if you think it is, then thats your own thing. it does nothing.... there are too many pointless ones and i really doubt new users would care about the feature. and for the "social aspect"... how :S no one posts in the discussions made so i don't see how it helps
