yeah, I love the groups, an excellent addition.

I have not participated in them at all. I did however just now happen upon a few posts within a group by somebody who I used to think was a pretty cool dude. That kinda bummed me out. I guess when I saw his posts I felt like it turns out he is two-faced because I've never seen "that side" of his attitudes. Oh, well.

Anyway, I might try groups one day. I'm glad you're enjoying them, Eric!

I see positives & negatives, but mostly positive. The groups allow folk to focus more on what interests or concerns them most, which is a good thing. I do agree though that you interact somewhat less, & I worry about the "bubble effect" a little. I also concur that this is liable to correct itself somewhat. What's good is that Admin is good about accepting feedback & suggestions, (at least so far, until it goes to their head & they demand fealty & loyalty oaths &...well, that's another post) so I think we're going in the right direction! Good question!

I love them! I have a lot more conversation in the smaller group format and am getting to kniw many individuals better. It also helps pleasantly pass the time while waiting for new posts to accumulate in the main forums.

I like the whole community but I also like to read the joke page too. I know a lot of jokes for some reason my brain remembers jokes forever

I think you post a lot of memes! lol

You know I'm enjoying them. Particularly the memes. I sometimes feel I have to go hunting for posts outside of my subscriptions though.

I'm posting way better content on FB. (And then leaving rapidly).

And I can spend an entire day here.... so it's a win!
