These sound pretty interesting, Alexander. Thank you for always thinking ahead. And, just to validate that saying about "no good deed goes.....", uh, I would personally find it rather cool if you considered adding one small item to the the privacy options: karma. I don't mean removing the karma "say thank you" button. I mean the display of the total karma one has received. It always make me feel like a damn fool. Hey, no snickering out there!

Hi and great work. But, being the typical dunderhead that i am... What the heck are community groups?

i think your description of the social groups is fairly accurate, they are just ways for like-minded people to congregate and have discussions together. since many people might not know about that function of the forum (and, social groups are not accessible to non-registered members, if i've understood), and since i agree with you that the book group discussions enrich the Book Recommendation forum, i would keep all the main Book Club discussions there. |

Social Groups seem to be in a position to be created by the members of MR ["Silly Ministry" as example] - whilst others are fixed such as the forums ....
