What's up? They don't bite.

For me, I like seeing all the PRS porn in one spot instead of having to go through pages and pages of a thread.

I like the concept as well

Antisocial guitar players I guess?

Thanks Jeff. Thats right, people shouldn't be afraid to contribute more to these groups.

Interesting concept. Kinda like a house party (this forum).
After a little browsing (new posts), you tend to form a few
subgroups (social clubs) and hang out there (kitchen for me/
close to the beer fridge). Now take me to the Freakers Ball.

it's not really the way i surf the forum, myself. i tend to use "today's posts" and leave it at that. that's my excuse at least :p

[bagpipe]

Yeah, I always just hit "New Posts" when I come to the forum and read whatever is there. If it doesn't show up there, I dont read it.

I'm a new post guy too. I actually joined a social group but still have no idea of what they are or how to use them. To be honest, it just seems unnecessary.

My little hamster brain would prefer to go in quite the opposite direction.

Four or five sub-forums, period.


I look for new posts and probably overlook quite a few interesting threads because I don't dive into all the categories.

I always hit the new posts--and sometimes follow up on some of my posts--especially if I asked a question--but I have checked out the groups as well.

I wish there was a way to get direct access to social groups from the forums. Bump, because there doesn't seem to be.

Funny you should say that as I was wondering why no-one contributes after the initial "Hey how you doin"? Yes it would be better to not have to get in there in a round a bout way!

Easier access could get more people interested in using these groups.

[GuitarsCanada]

I have looked at doing that but there does not seem to be any way. At least that I can find so far. Too bad because it would help.

How about make another sub forum Social Groups in the Pub below Sports and Gaming?
Make a locked thread with a link to the social groups?

[55dollarbill]

That's a good idea because I remember seeing that and making a Winnipeg Guitarists Group (Join if your from Winnipeg!!!) but a few weeks later I came to the forum and thought I was trippin because I couldn't find this group section so I just forgot about it.

How come there isn't a Luddite social group??? appears most GC members would qualify..........then of course there is the quote..."I don't want to join a club that would allow me to be a member"....lol

Just a reminder that you can access the Social Groups by clicking on the UserCP link on top bar of the main page.. You will see the Social Group link in the left hand column. From there you can join or create a Social Group.
