Hey wait, that gives me an idea.
What if we just glorify some gay ass pivot group so much that all the idiots join it and use the group forum instead of this one? We'd be rid of all the retards and the ones smart enough to notice that everyone there has an IQ in the single digits will probably be remotely bearable. It'd be like a test to weed out all the idiots and keep them in some obscure group forum so that we don't discourage people with real talent from joining.
We could even just treat groups like treads and then we could regulate the people who could partake in the topic. So you could create some group about posting something or other and then if a member wants to join the group who is notorious for ruining topics you can just reject them and the topic is saved.


This is why darkdemon.org exists.

So it'll be much simpler to just advertise darkdemon as much as possible. Gentleman, I think we are getting somewhere.

Yeah, that's a great idea! IF, however, they're smart enough to rub the two digits of their IQ together to make a fire so they can see through the shitstorm that is Groups.

How about we just give the NTF's permission to judge whether a group is legitimate or illegitimate.
Hell,
I'd write out some basic rules as to what defines a legitimate or illegitimate group.

Right now I have just disabled the ability for normal users to create groups. Sorry.
Until we have something to base it off of then we won't have any. I agree they are stupid currently.
I will look into adding a post count requirement, but right now I need to go take my Art history test.

How about something like portal users?
Anyone that does anything with audio, video, or games?
That's really the only good use I can see of them.
Maybe for collaborations.

Now go out there and get your degree.

I need to see if anyone over 1000 posts can now post a group or not. Thanks.
EDIT: It says it will be a default of 1 hour before people are promoted to be able to use the groups. So I guess we will wait and see if any of you are able to posts group in one hour.

I like the post count idea, and instead of us sending any long pm's to moderators, if they see that a retard is trying to make a group then you guys can just delete it right?

Sorry but, I just imagine you have a nice simple, "Remove shit" button, unless I am wrong and that shits complicated or something.

We have such a button, yes.
Has anyone tried to create a group that has more than 1000 posts?
EDIT: These are the users so far who have gotten the ability to create groups:

-Hawk-
Arch-Angel
Devour
Dinomut
General Douchington
Jutsu
Kieran.
LakE
poppetje3D
quake
Rabstar

If you have more than 1000 posts I think all you have to do to make the list is post once so that the system registers that you have more than 1000 posts.

Aw, groups got wiped. Now people are going to wonder "Why are there no groups 1-20?"
