I agree, but I do like the Septagon and the intelligent conversations here.

Sometimes yes, there are some good ones here.

Sometimes. Until I get involved.

But uh, that's just something you'll all have to deal with.

Hell no.

All groups are pathetically inactive conpared to the main forums. 75% of the time (and I've been oin groups with over 1,000 members) I'm the only one posting, and have to check back an hour later.

Well, seeing as this is actually my first post in the Septagon, I would have to say that the group forums are definently my preference (being where 98% of my posts occur). Sometimes, when bored, I'll surf around the larger forums, though; even if it's just to see what others have to say.

I would say that about 98 percent of groups are too inactive. There are a few active ones that I think are active enough. I do agree that inactivity is the major flaw with private groups.

I do enjoy some active private groups because you usually have more freedom and can get to know other users better. I do prefer posting in the public forums when a major topic pops up or when I wan't to get a point across.

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

There is nothing better than the community forum.

I go to MBT and the MBT Council Members group and thats about it. I check the main forums for interesting topics and sometimes contests (like the Video one) but thats about it. I also stick my head by Body Politic every once in awhile, they run a good show there.

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

I used to be big on the whole "I'm a mod!" thing..now it's not very exciting. I like posting in my groups the most but when I'm out of stuff to say in them I come to The Septagon and Flood to see what's going on.

Meh, the public forums for me. Groups generally focus on one thing. I'll take The Flood over groups anyday...Unless someone is on a spamming spree.

I'm in two very active groups, which hold my attention perfectly well. 98%? Any basis for such a figure? Sure a lot of people make groups just for kicks, but there must be thousands of groups that are so active, they never bother posting in the public domain ever again. If I wasn't at work, bored out of my mind, I wouldn't be in here either.

I take it inactivity is a major flaw with private groups in your experience. Otherwise that is an incredibly sweeping (and probably incorrect) statement.

Hi KneeChee. Path of War is almost dead if you didn't know.

I'm no Veteran, but I've been in my fair share of groups. I've been in MBT, (quit) am a Commander in ODST Recon (completely dead) and used to be in Popular Fusion and Pro. Comm.

I've been in all the large (which, in theory, should be more active) groups (well, most) here on B.Net., and they're all inactive overall.

Small groups, or groups with a moderately-sized amount of members, are also just not active. It could be only me, but I couldn't name one group (I've been in at least fourty-five) that was as active as The Maw (inactive main-forum) for more than a month.

It is generalizing, but most groups aren't active for long, if they were at all. Or it could be me.

Life of a group:

Created
Activity
Members
Activity
Members
Activity
1st and 2nd set of members forget about the place, or become inactive
Group dies off


Of course there are exceptions, but that's a general rule. Some groups start dying off in activity and still grow, defies logic doesn't it? Well, trust me, it's happened.

Vinnie, i know H2UK is very active, but you guys have a great balance, something most groups here don't have. You are a community, rather than people posting for status in a group. Thats the main problem here. Your idea may be great, it may be awesome, but people will always want power, and will destroy that power just to get it, not always intentionally of course.

Its probably just because I love power but I really like being active in alot of groups (including my own). I cant moderate on the main forums (I want to though, I like power) but I am a moderator in half the groups that Im in (and im a damn good one too...Bungie).

Anyway thats beside the point. Who here likes group particpation more than main forum posting?

PS - once we get some more screenshots for Halo 3 I'll be all over the main forums again.

i use both evenly.
