I for one see the groups as lackluster. They provide a darkling mood to the excellence of this website. I think that an update is necessary. Oh, and darkle(I used darkling) is the opposite of sparkle. It means to create an ill enviroment, a gloom fest, just a very sad an negative occasion.
I honestly think the group admins need to be deadmined and new ones should be put in place. It's a massive slack party, even though Hull has better plans for groups.
4/5 People suffer from diarrhea. Does that mean the other enjoys it?
If and when the groups get an upgrade, here's some additions and improvements I think would be worthwhile:
-Group/Clan Leaders-
Maintaining a group by oneself isn't always easy, especially when the group size is huge. It'd be much easier if the creator of the group could check a check box next to a user's name to make them one, giving them the ability to send out invites and delete group shouts.
-Design-
It's a little annoying when user's have large images in their signatures, particularly in large groups, as the page lags tremendously. So, I propose that Hull have a link which when clicked, displays the group members. And I'm on the fence on whether or not I think signatures should stay.
-Inter-Group/Clan Activities-
I think it'd be nice if group leaders were able to set up some kind of activity, tournament, etc with another group. The form would be pretty simple, simply an activity title/name box, the participating group(s), and the date range in which said activity would take place. Those groups which are asked to participate can accept or decline the same as is done with group invitations. Also, it may be worthwhile to have a message sent to all group members involved when another group accepts.
It's my job to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I'll gladly lay down my life.
Ah, why not whine about everything you find and let a Mod know of "said" thing? Nawh, I'm asking too much you lot rather try getting the power yourself. /Locked
