One side effect to having groups |
|
Edited on Fri Nov-12-04 02:19 PM by Gothic_Sponge
I like the idea of groups, but i fear many of us will become divided. One of the advantages to being lumped together is the sharing of new ideas.
Is this a legitimate concern?

1. We still have the general groups that everyone posts to. |
|
It might be a problem, but it might be good for us too.
We'll just have to wait and see how it goes.

I think it could be. We are limited in the number of groups we can |
|
have in the "My Groups" category, so in a way, I feel as if I am losing a lot of friends...sniffle. :(

5. I don't think so, the groups are too specific |
|
people will still be spending lots of time in the general forums, like the lounge.

Like me now, and I've never been in here before. But I am here now to test my new avatar. Let's see how it works (fingers crossed)...
Shoot, it didn't. OK, I read there might be someone in the lounge who would be willing to help me do this. Any takers?

it's a photo on my computer. They (admin) told me it was too big but I cannot figure out, for sure, how to shrink it in Adobe photodeluxe. I told it to be 28 pixels but that made it disappear. I'm still working with it but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :toast:

9. I feel sad for the the loss of the free flowing forums |
|
Edited on Fri Nov-12-04 02:30 PM by cally
We'll still have those but most of us will not read the posts in the forums not connected to us. I don't like it but that's what happens when you get so big. I think all of us need to make an effort to look into the forums/groups that we don't often post to and read the threads. Post, just to shake things up. We have to be in this together.

16. There will always be the Lounge. |
|
I don't think it's a problem. The Lounge will always be an all purpose meeting place.

17. I remember when this happened to science fiction fandom |
|
First it got so big that you could no longer find any of the people you wanted to find. Then it all split up into special interest groups, so you could find your friends but you never met anybody else.
Maybe we need to have crossover events. Like "Take a Gun Dungeon denizen to lunch day." Or GBLT/Vegan/Religion and Theology joint picnic and potluck supper. Or a "click on our random number generator and be assigned a forum where you must start at least one thread" button.
Hey, there's all sorts of possibilities. :)
