The "Groups" feature is not my favorite thing (to put it mildly). Just like expected, a lot of groups spawned – and didn't get many members… or they got some members but hardly any threads.
A confusing amount of nearly empty and pretty much useless subforums.

Perhaps groups should dissolve if they lack activity or don't get x amount of users within a week. Or maybe that would be discouraging. The concept is great, it's just easily spammed

As long as they don't dissolve my favorite LGGBTQIA+, then fine.

An automatic deletion, a fixed minimum users/posts would be indeed discouraging.
Maybe staff could manually remove completely dead groups every now and then?

The Groups concept does sound interesting in theory – it just doesn't work so great for the most.

I feel like the groups work perfect for the semi-private cheats group and the lgbt groups--there's no way to privatize a thread on accept-only basis without groups, and lgbt topics are always accepted, but might be trolled out of control outside of a tightly watched group. there's a LOT of potential

we might have to go through and discuss trimming certain groups that fit a criteria at some point, because it's overwhelming how many tiny useless ones there are

it's hard to tell, but i think you're trying to tell me not to delete the LGBTQIA+ group? :P
