Subject: Creating the best group! Tips and strategies!

Roll the dice, try again.

Do you find that the most successful groups on Bungie.net are more of an open/closed group? Does member count = how successful a group is? If there is a common purpose for a group, does that tend to attract more people?

I am not that great at forming groups and now that I think about it, there are many things to consider. What do you thing are the top factors in making an effective private group community?

Share your thoughts with the community!

There is a group help/tips thread in the classifieds... mors members = more activity because a group of 10people will not be on all day.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Don't be lazy. Don't recruit lazy members. That's all there is to it.

Yeah but you could have a group of 1500 people, but if there is no sense of "community" that forum won't be active either. idk.

All the groups you see with 1500 member and completely dead are older groups we're people joined and left bnet... but anything that can happen in a 10 member group can happen in a 180000 member group but not the other way around

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.
~M.D~

If you have active members in the group more will come. Word of it must get around though for it to grow.

I only really have experience with running small closed groups, because I don't like large groups, but here's what I've kinda put together after many failed trials.

- A devoted administrator that doesn't place obligations on the other members to the group. People don't like being told what to do, especially from the start of something new. If you provide the discussions and the means for other members to connect, they will stay and contribute on their own.

- Members that are like-minded enough to not be prone to conflict with one another, but different enough to keep things from being stale. Having a group that focuses around a specific objective is helpful for this, where as standard off topic groups are a little bit more tricky to manage.

- Time. You can't create a tightly knit community over night. It takes a lot of time and effort on many people's parts, especially the administrator's, for people to connect and to get the group to be self sustaining.

If you can get those three things, you're golden.
