Someone's gotta say it - the Social Groups

Ok, this may or may not be a popular opinion, but IMO the social groups are a bad thing.
Yeah, it's nice to be able to mess with Autumn and her run for mod, and it is nice to be able to talk to others that need a place to vent and hear from just 'friends'.

However, I think it will divide the Lounge and overall is not a good thing for the Lounge.

It's also harder to keep up with things because it adds more places you gotta check.

One more reason the Lounge is going downhill these days.

I have no idea what this is about so I must be out of the loop.

That is fine as these things usually just serve to remove the garbage from the Lounge and the losers go hang out somewhere else.

I'm surprised they're still here - I figured they were part of the global update and would be pruned.

meh, but you're exactly right. Social groups are no more than just locked threads for private viewing for the elitists amongst us. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

So it's like having people on ignore? I'm really happy with that feature and I don't mind at all if they want to be elitist so long as they stay out of my viewing range. woot
