There is literally nothing you are missing because the small things we do can't be conducted with the mass amount of people in the forum.

Y'know, AZ, if you can't condone social groups, then I guess the Disco Room and the Back Rooms shouldn't exist, either. I mean, where's the fairness in that? I gotta donate money to the website? I gotta be hand-selected by an even more exclusive group of people?

If it's technical difficulties, that's one thing. But in the interest of "fairness" to other users? That's horse****.

meh, I don't have that much mental ability to deal with the hate, rage, and some stupidity

Social groups had people I could actually get along with and speak without rage mostly

Since I haven't posted around here, I don't know who is a good poster and who isn't. But if social groups don't comeback, I might be gone

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.
I don't really see those reasons that much asides from it not working; just out of my curiosity, is it just installing the feature that was a problem or is keeping it around? Because if keeping it around isn't, I see no reason not to keep it just for specific groups (Just don't have everyone be able to make them)

Ahhhh...there went my NintendoDex....:(

Unless there's still a way to get it back.

I see why the groups were removed but I agree with Smooth Criminal. I think they are good because they pertain to a specific topic and allows more specific discussion and interaction between members. Rather than a broader, forum-wide group.

For example, I was in working on a Japanese Language group idea.

As current owner of the social group that people are most likely referring to, I am willing to hand over leadership to one of the four moderators (Mario_Sonic/Venus/Falkoopa/N3ON) and or Xiivi who are invited members, assuming social groups are kept but are limited to staff.

That said, your first three points are debatable so please let me know if you need any information about the previously mentioned social group so I can possibly sway any future decision on behalf of the invited members if keeping social groups isn't a problem/a continuing problem with Xenforo.

For example, I was in working on a Japanese Language group idea.
As a Japanese minor, I'd be up for that. :laugh:

As a current Japanese language student, I'd be interested in this

Somewhat disappointed he has the same Down Special personally (definitely could just be me), but it's great to see him all the same. :)

sakurai is trying to get people to forget about the phantom armor in zelda's reveal pic by giving us a new roster update.

I can't get over how much I am loving the variety in expressions for the cast.

I hope Miss Fit gets some.

Wow does the 3DS hold up to Brawl. And the expressions King DeDeDe now carries is marvelous. Anyone who watched the Kirby anime should get that sense lol

I secretly want a feature that, if you're playing teams, your team would have a name based on who it is that is teammates, like in Mario Party.

Just so I see what smartass names Nintendo comes up with for WFT with Dedede or Wario.

He may have Peach and Zelda, but not even King Dedede's pimp status can win him the ultimate prize:
