Only one usergroup?

[harrypotter101]

My suggestion is maybe we should have multiple usergroups so that people can find people who they fit in with because I sure don't feel like I fit in very much. So please put why you think we should or shouldn't have multiple usergroups.

[dr. dugmore]

like differnt groups in biology.

More than one usergroup is winning!

What exactly is a usergroup?

[canalon]

it is a feature that allow to send a message to more than one user at a time. So Now you can send a message to alle the mods if you send it to "bioteam". That's all

[alextemplet]

Oh. Well I understand why that would be useful for the mods, but why would the rest of us need a user group? Is there anything that could be accomplished through a user group that couldn't be done by posting a thread?

[MrMistery]

not really. i think some members think it is "cool" to be part of a usergroup.

[alextemplet]

I don't see what purpose a user group would serve (except of course for the mods). As for the rest of us, isn't that what the different forums are for?

[harrypotter101]

I think that we should have them because it can be a bit hard to find where you fit in on this site. Example:I can't find anybody that is my age here. Almost everyone seems to be over sixteen here while I'm only thirteen.

[alextemplet]

Almost everyone is over 16 here, so you would very possibly be in a usergroup by yourself. I think most people here are high school through college age, including myself even though I'm not currently in school.

[harrypotter101]

I am in High School. What I meant was AROUND my age.

Sounds complicated... when you could just make a thread in off-topic asking who else is close to 13...
Think about it this way, you could dilineate these groups many different ways: by age, gender, general interests, biological interests, profession, hobby, golf score...

Harry I think you're doing a good enough job establishing your age and interests via your forum posting. Anyone looking for someone like you to share thoughts and interests could probably find you in a forum search. Furthermore, you could do the same. Do a search in the "how old are you" thread for people that are your age...

I really don't see a need for anything that might encourage cliquishness (is that a word? lol). One thing that I appreciate very much about this forum is the sharing of ideas and viewpoints. I enjoy getting to hear from posters ranging from young harry here to *possibly our oldest member? Certainly most outspoken oldster* charlesbrough.
