Okay guys since a long time ago I was on a board that did something like this and it was interesting and because Zetaboards appears to support it, let's make arbitrary user groups that people will get that just stacks with your rank and member type and stuff and it basically does nothing but maybe some extra boards or something I'm not sure I haven't worked with ZB's forme of it yet. Anyway would this interest anyone and would they have any idea of what the groups would be?

Oh I remember this stuff. It's the ones where you can just join different ones and they have types of whether you have to be invited or whatever. Right?

Anyway, on this other site I went to they made each group like a fan club for a particular thing.

I'd look into it for Top Inc., but that would make it look like a normal forum.

Yeah pretty much. I haven't dealt with them for quite a while and I wasn't even in charge of them back then, so I'm not really sure how they work. On the board I used to have there was like light and dark and you could just request which and then it was significant to the RP there.

Aha. Well it's not that complicated I think. Hang on, let me go to my dead forum where I can see the controls and stuff for a minute.

...

So what you really mean is the JOINABLE groups, right? Usually you appoint someone as the head of the group and they can invite/accept members--depending on the Join Type. If they're a sort of public, come-right-on-in thing leave it on open. A little more security is approval, and invitation would be for the ones that are like... the leader picked their own people. Like a more organized thing I guess.

Name and description on the next thing are self-explanatory, permissions is actually not for powers it's for the standard board access. So you don't have to go back to every board to set it for them, unless you want to.

And then all you have to do is go back and add a leader or mess with the board permissions you need or whatever. I'm pretty sure that's all there is to it.

Oh okay. I'll probably set that up as soon as we have enough people to justify it.

Anyway on my last board it was just basically we had 3 standard ranks and then we manually changed people from the standard neutral ones to light or dark if they asked for it and it was all very gross and manual.

Then I'm guessing it was probably an invite thing. If that bugged you then I suggest you not use that method.

Well really people could "apply" in some board we made but this was basic IPB board and hey did I just say Invision Power Board board but um I don't think it was any formal kind of group so I'm probably going to make test ones here and runon sentences are neat.

Didn't read any of this thread, but I'm guessing it's about something gay.
