Also wouldn't hurt for folks to reasses whose site this is, and how much time and effort goes into it. The mere acceptance of input from others as to site content speaks volumes about the community spirit of the site founder.Some people need to learn some patience.
Lukem, thanks for your tolerance, and all your efforts.
Freedom has a flavor the protected can never taste...

I have a feeling the setup will be better after the upgrade than the module I had that created the social group forums so this will all be a moot point anyway.
Social Group Discussion Threads
- Messages in Social Groups are now threaded into 'Social Group Discussions'.
- Discussion are sortable by creator, replies and last post.
- Discussions can be filtered with a simple full text search on titles.
- Discussions can be managed with Inline Moderation to soft delete, physically remove, approve and unnapprove them.
- Discussions are Read Marked using both database and cookie methods, with a jump to go to first new post.
- Users can subscribe to discussions and receive email notifications on new messages.
- Subscribed discussions with new posts are aggregated in the User CP.
- Individual Discussions have social bookmarking links (user defined, such as Digg, StumbleUpon etc).
- New 'Can Always' permissions to create and view both discussions and messages, simplifying access.
- Fallbacks implemented for non javascript users.
- Moderators can Quick Edit social group messages using AJAX.
- Posts are now ascending, which is more intuitive in threaded discussions.
- Users can configure their groups so that only the group owner can create new discussion threads.
- On upgrade, existing messages are moved to an initial discussion with the same name as the group.
- Social Group info is hidden when entering a discussion or viewing pages of results to move focus to discussions.
