Our membership functions provided facilities for hosting user-created groups, and we like that idea — both to allow members to set up some discussion channels, if they would like, as well as for us to create groups to get content in one space for like-minded members. We’ll see what use we put it to in the future!
For a time, we tried sitewide forums. However, as each group can have its own forum, we felt that hosting sitewide forums as well was confusing.
Any member can create a group by following a button on the Groups page. We ask that you keep it to topics that are “safe for work” and reserve the right to delete groups and block members that violate this policy or create a bunch of unrelated spam groups.
Each group can have its own forum. Member can post updates to the activity page but the group forums can provide a discussion format between members.
Groups may also add media and create albums.
If you have a more specific question about groups and group setup, or how to join a group and don’t see it in our FAQs, click the Ask a Question button on the FAQ page where you most likely accessed this page.
