For some reason, I thought this meant that Shy Guy wasn't playable in Mario Kart 8. Wrong game.

Pardon my moment of being scatter brained lol

The site randomly says that I'm using Adblock. Which is weird since I'm pretty damn sure I don't even have adblock. And I still see ad banners. Anyone else have this issue?

Surely I deserve a better role than miiverse. Unless of course "miiverse" means allan and/or nicole.

Apparently...

Social Groups may not be a thing anymore.

after the change to xenforo or whatever you call it (CIRCA JANUARY 2013), every group had been wiped clean of all data except for the fact they exist and the members within the now barren groups. and Toise lost his list of roster predictions from the lot of us for that whom ever was the closest with the final roster would win a Wii U, purchased by him...

ever since this fateful day, groups stopped being a thing... after that, i figured out how to access groups... i didn't know if the data from groups would return... it's been a whole year and none of the original data returned, regardless, i wanted it back so i started to pick up the pieces. restart what we had.
i believe it is the only relevant social group now... there's that LGBT group with over 150 users but i don't even know what goes on in there so that's moot...

anyways, i believe, groups will stop altogether... none of the hype is there anymore save for our group as far as i know. the memory it takes to keep them is probably greater than the reasoning for why they are now pandering people to turn off adblock. no, that's the reason why they need to tell people to turn off adblock, so groups can be supported!

Alphazealot... don't take away our porn social groups. it makes me feel strong to be in a community within a community... to be... in a resistance group... against the zealots! fringe!

If all fails, there's always Skype and Facebook. I think most of us will prefer Skype though.

Yeah, Zero, John was avidly supporting your inclusion, and most (if not all) were okay with it. :laugh:

Heh, the group will just move elsewhere.

They are just making things less accessible than they used to be.

Anyway, can't mods make PMs bigger than 10 people? It'd be like the old Smash 4 thread but we could keep it that way like how it kind of already is.

the thing is, we have this group rule that dictates when we add more members... the fact of the matter is we were waiting for fartmanonice to come back to us... he was previously a member but had left us... forgot about us... we wanted that 69 member thing, but with fat man!
^ that's not a typo, hehehehe, fartman.
leaving behind? nonsense! social groups are dying now! the zealot is killing them!

CRAP!! ZEALOT"S HERE!! ummm... i regret nothing!!
Edit: fatman's here too!! i regret everything!!

Will Holder be okay?
My activity will be all but destroyed.

Groups are NOT about hiding. You can do things back there that you can't out in public.. Embarrass

Er, wait that didn't come out right.. Just... GIVE US BACK OUR GROUPS DAMMIT.

Social groups cause a lot of problems:
  • Keeps content from new users
  • Creates division within the site (e.g. cool kids club) based on [insert random criteria]
  • Moderation is difficult
  • And it just didn't work with Xenforo and was a pain to get to work (this being the biggest)
I'm thinking maybe only allowing PR social groups though. Maybe.

We had four mods. And what content would it block from the new users?

Why must new users need access to whatever the users create for a select group of people? There's nothing that would be in those groups that they couldn't get outside of them aside from what the members are saying to one another, so it is not like their existence steals anything that a member is signing up for. If someone signed up thinking, "I deserve to see whatever the other users do regardless of their targeted recipient!" would be one entitled individual, wouldn't you think? Might as well let them see our Private Messages too, they don't have access to those either.

Secondly, cannot people make their OWN groups? They can have their OWN cool kids club with their own random criteria, isn't that the beauty of having groups? Besides, it doesn't prevent members of a group from posting outside of it, no actual divisions are made on the forums. And if someone posts solely in a group, so what? No one is suffering because of their harmless M.O.

As for the Xenforo thing, well that really sucks to hear (read). But if that can be figured out, the positives from groups seriously outweigh your examples. I definitely don't agree that because someone new walks into the door means that social gatherings aren't allowed to take place. That new user can still talk to those people, join their gathering, or make their own, just like in rl. And just like in rl, they can't waltz in and criticize a group of people for... being a group of people.
