Have some point to your group. A basic idea that sets it apart from others.
Don't just make it 'Talk about your Halo theories' or 'Off-topic, un-moderated junk'. Find something special, and work hard to embrace it.dalmedya is exactly right. Find a niche topic that is not or cannot be discussed in the public forums and create a group about it.
"General off-topic" or "General Halo" groups tend to fail, as they are a dime a dozen and larger, more established groups already have these bases covered.
If you feel the need to lead a group, which is a reasonable thought and actually might help you learn something about leadership (provided that you take the right approach), consider starting a small group with just your friends to chatter and shoot the breeze. The larger a group gets, the more work it takes to run it. If you're unwilling or unable to put in the time, even a large group can fail. Try keeping things small-but-active to start, and see how it goes. Then keep your eye out for a niche or a novel topic upon which to begin a group.
Consider going outside Halo and Bungie as your group's purpose. Do you love old cars? A new band? A popular TV show? Consider starting a group about a topic that people like or might want to discuss without having to leave the Bungie site. We may all be Bungie fans here (except for a few notable exceptions), but we all have other interests as well.
Good luck to you, man.
