Do You Like Or Dislike The Social Groups?

Luke, you have done an overall fine job with this site, and I feel the same way about the social group forums. Keep things exactly the way they are now.

Just about any site online where we register to join they send us a confirmation email, to which we then respond. It takes just a few minutes. I see little difference between doing that and joining a group here in order to post in that group. It's a non-issue for me.

122 Views. 107 views never clicked either button.107/122= 88% don't care.

Or, maybe only 22 people had the energy after a hard day/night to be able to click a button?

I would think a better poll would be the 3 choices above: Okay/Not okay/Don't care and make it so a viewer could not read the thread without clicking one of the buttons. I don't know if it is possible to do that, would be interesting to see how many threads got viewed!

I do believe that the "Don't care" buttons would be clicked a large percentage of the time.

Added! Not sure why this post went into moderation either but I just approved it.

....but....what about all the 'Transexual Nazi bikers with pink poodles and flint-lock pistols' ??? What exactly do you have against flint-lock pistols, sir!

Good one, L-C!

The groups is a good idea and a little check-out, (i.e. vetting by Canis Lupus kind of thing) is perfectly fine. Why not keep group-specific groups specific as there are plenny o' other places for others.
So that's a hand up in the air in this corner for groups w/memberships.
