Realms. Usergroups. It's been a popular idea in the past. Would you like to be involved?

I like the idea, but could you explain a little!

Are you allowed to pick which clubgroup you join, or do you have to be assigned by how you sign up?

I'm hesitant to use the usergroups, because I don't think many people here know how they work. If we could have more of an explanation on that that'd be great.

^I'm one of those people that could use an explanation. I don't even know what they are let alone how they work.

Oooooh, I like the idea of this. Would it just be Lord of the Rings though? Or would it be things like Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean aswell?

^^We're already cliquey as it is 
Usergroups aren't that difficult to put up at all actually.
^I'm guessing LotR... because this IS a LotR forum. _________________

^ LOL! Good point.
I know that there are quite a few, communities lets say, though, within AU, that bind together on other subjects (Like the above).

The only thing I have against it is dividing the forum up. I mean, we are all like one family, not parts.

^Well, what smeag said was more of what I was saying here. Dividing AU up into a bunch of sections just doesn't make sense to me if it's worked fine this far. And sure we have lots of cliques here, not that that is a good or bad thing (in it's place), but since we already have those cliques do we really need extra sub-forums to just enhance them? Anyone who's in a "clique" with anyone else can still talk to each other as it is in different parts of the forum. This just seems to be... er, not nessisary.  like a school cafeteria or something. But then again it's late... so forgive me if this comes across as harsh. I don't mean it to.

pros and cons for usergroups:
pro - give people somewhere to talk
con - they could generate more clique-ness
pro - venting possibilities for discussions
con - getting away from LotR
pro - getting to know each other more
con - potential of making rifts between the members
I´m not sure of anything right now, sorry

I'm afraid it would make the forum more clique-y and less... er, welcoming to the new people who aren't part of any usergroups. 
and then there would form alliances and rivalries between all the groups. I just don't think it's a good idea. 
All the pain and hassle it could cause to the site and to the mods having to put it up probably wouldn't be worth it in the end.
