Would it be a good idea to take a cue from the old forum and include a groups forum section? Or would that attract too many newbies and their annoying groups that last 2 days? Just wanted to see if it was a possibility.
vBulletin has usergroups included in the box. Under the "Wiki" button under the site banner, you'll find a dropdown labelled "Community". The first option will lead you to a page of user-created groups.
Yes, I know about that, and am currently using it. What I mean is a section in the forum for group THREADS, not just groups.
