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.

Why do you think they're elitist? Can't anyone join any group? I think you can read them too, even if you're not a member.

Though I've only read a couple groups, so maybe I don't know. Are some put to private or something?

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

Goof. You know I heart you and your long-winded titles. Harhar

When you get a free moment or just want to type at someone, let me know how things are going with the District. When we last chatted, a certain mouthpiece was recommending you either donate time or move, if I remember correctly. Has it gotten better, worse, or are you at a stalemate?

So I accepted one elitist group invite and if I sent out an invite to someone else, does that mean they're also in that same group? This reminds me of Twitter only ad-free and nearly as useless (unless a person does contests).
