Other tidbits to discuss:

- Users can only create X number of groups and join Y number of groups.
- Only users with a certain post count can create groups.
- It costs vg$ to create/join a group, or only to do so beyond some limit.

 

My suggestions: 1. Users should create as many groups as they can afford (see #3) and we should be able to join limitless groups. 2. I say anyone other than a noobie, so 500+ posts to create a group. 3. Here I say we make groups fairly expensive to create to keep down on a bunch of useless groups being created so maybe 250-500 vg$ range? Joining groups should be free. and when closing a group you created you should get back half of what you paid for it. So if it costs 500 vg$ and you decide to close it you should get 250 back.

 No, limiting how many groups you can make based on how much you can spam and create crap topics that get heaps of posts ('post something about the person above you!') is basically telling people to wreck the forum.

It should be a limited number per person at a time, with only people who have been here for more than a month and having over 500 posts being allowed to make them.
