I have had a few members mention they liked the ability to create their own groups like the old site Height Group gave them, and now that we have upgraded our software, I can purchase a plug in for this site to allow us to have Social Groups. This would not change the existing site, only add additional features to it.

I would like to know what you think about adding this to our site.

For those that do not know, social groups are areas that can be about any topic, they are created and managed by members of our site. People have the ability to join or ignore them. Simply to say if you like height group. . you will like social groups

Yes, I like the idea. I was on HeightGroup and I enjoyed the chat room and also the chance to have private chats.

Seems a good idea to me, the more links to groups that we see here, the more will find us, & may contribute back to Tall Men Chat.

I like this idea. But would that make this place become a HeightGroup's clone?

No, the intent is to add the ability for social groups on top of what we already have, so the main site would not change, we would just give other options.

I feel neutral. Provided that the groups/groupnames go through some moderation process, to ensure there is no redundancy or fragmentation, I would be for it. Nothing's worse than having to subscribe to groups "boot," "Boots," "boots," "boot fans," ad nauseum because differences in case and spelling/misspelling create so many groups (all with 1 or 2 people in it) that there's no point in having it at all. FetLife suffers from this issue, and I rarely use that service's group features because of this lack of consolidation.

Love the idea...especially creating "niche fetish groups" or targeted likes...for me it would be older shorter for younger taller :)

I think i have everything working on the social groups addition to the site. To create a new social group choose the new group option on the top bar menu. . next to "members" choose Create Group. Update the settings you want for the group and begin to post. Groups can have: Photo Albums, Forums and Discussion panels. If anything is missing. . let me know.

I re arranged some of the social groups to try to keep the front page more clean and easy to find what your looking for.

Probably couldn't hurt to have the rest of the US as groups as well. :)
