I know this may be a beaten horse, but is there any plans of implementing the group function that was the lifeblood of the Bungie forums and help kept it running especially during the darkness?

Honestly i feel like the private groups function can help bring more people in and allow people surround themselves with whatever or whoever they want. It could even bring a flood of more users from former Saphire members to maybe some TFS members. And yes although some of you have hatred for them, but their addition could help bring some extra visitation or newcomers to the site. Not only that maybe the ads can finally become better due to higher visitation leading to us having a better ad and less virus spams. After all with more visitation there is more worth to getting ads on this site than before.

Anyway i know this is just a stupid rant, but is there any plans for groups to be implemented and if so is there a time frame when such a addition shall be made?

This was always part of my master plan, right before crashing this plane with no survivors.

So yeah, once we have the new theme up and running and I've collected a couple monthsworth of ad money, I can get started putting in groups.

How would moderation be handled in groups?
You can see the package I'll be installing here: http://www.smfpacks.com/page/sa=sg

It would be up to the "owner" of the group how they would moderate the forum. I'm not positive there can be additional mods, but I'll definitely look into it.

And if this package turns out to suck, I can always try my hand at putting together something by myself (but that would suck).

Just wondering. How would you handle groups that allow stuff that's usually rule breaking?
It would be Anarchy rules as far as I'm concerned. Nothing illegal.

Wouldn't that run the real Anarchy though if there's groups that are just 24/7 Anarchy?
We'd keep the exclusive gimmicks (anonymous, custom options, etc.) and probably add a few more to keep people interested, but yeah, that population would probably take a hit.

But we'd have more people on the site all the time, so I think it would be kinda a good thing. And maybe if private groups take off, there would be no need for the monthly Anarchy at all.

I don't really think groups are a great idea, but they probably would draw in more members.

You could replicate Private Groups the best you can, but it won't be the same anymore especially since no one listened to me about moving a particular private group from Bungie offsite.

I won't be joining any should they exist let alone creating any. Too much nostalgia from B.old would ensue.

Not sure how I'd feel about private groups. The thought of new members is nice, but I feel like it could very much divide the community and form cliques.
Yeah, exactly.
Remember that comment about the closeness of the community I made?

Definitely agree.
Especially if the rules applying to private groups would be Anarchy 2.0. Calling out members would be legal and happen all the time, and I don't see how that would not spill over into the main boards.
Moderation duties would skyrocket and bad blood would be spilled in rivers.

Almost always, with moderation
Well it could give us more members, but it could also end up separating members with cliques. Doubt at this point that several more members is worth that.

You know what, private groups are actually a great idea so that you guys can play your forum spam game as much as you want.
Uhhh ok...
