Now that you've taken the time to look at my sig, I actually regret not providing you with something more worthwhile.

Can we get an option to search groups by topic? Searching by the name can be ok sometimes, but if a group has an offbeat name, then people won't find it by searching that way.

If there's already a way to search this way, then please point me in the right direction.

Having a link to a sponsored group of your choosing over under your name would be nice too. Just 1 would do fine. As it is now, finding good new groups and advertising groups is harder than it needs to be.

Also, I would like some juice. Apple. Make it happen.

-Quaere verum.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

So groups founders would have to define a topic for their chapter? I'm not sure how well that would work. You'd have to allow for custom topics to be created (i.e. ones not listed on a topic picklist) and then you run into the trouble of possibly not searching using the right words to locate all the groups with the topic you're looking for.

Maybe a keywords feature could be used instead (the keywords would define what a group is for). For example, say i created a group dedicated to game concept art. I could then enter keywords like "concept art, art, games, game art, concepts, illustration, digital art" That way, you have a greater chance of the resulting group list listing all the groups about art.

I would like to see a system that uses keywords/tags. Gods Prophet has a good idea.

Good idea GP - I'd put a limit on the number of keywords, too. Otherwise everyone would put everything they could think of in there... Gotta love our resourceful Community. [;

You kinda summed up what I meant but failed to properly express. GJ.
