I do agree that groups should be updated (I don't really do any thing with mine anymore) to gain back enthusiasm, but the ideas are a little off..also:i wish you could see old posts in the shoutbox..
How about a chat/forum fusion?Where none of the messages disappeared, but loaded instantly in chat format..Then users could report inappropriate conduct..
Group owners could have the privilege of deleting posts, kicking someone from anything involved with their group, and contact admins to have people banned..
also:chat/forums with different topics..
For some odd reason groups are like extinct now. so you guys invite members to ur groups like crazy. inbox them and tell them to check there group invitations and to keave a comment on the group so tat there is a social life to the group
* Ability to search groups.
* Something better than a 10-post shoutbox.
* Something that encourages collaborative group effort.
* Public/private option.
