to give groups of users special rights, like posting or even reading in forums dedicated for them. groupmanagement is (for me) a bit weird in phpbb, because the memberships of the groups can be seen by every user instead of only the admin. the rights of course knows the admin only.
There does not seem to be too much use in this. Why would informations be made available only for certain users or groups since we all share a common intereset? Well, maybe for dungeon building...hmm.
I don't plan on making usergroups with special privilages etc. There is not much point to it. That's simply segregating portions of what is already a relatively small group already. This is a open community for the most part and I would like to continue without creating what might be viewed as cliques as that doesn't really promote growth.
I thought usergroups were fun things you could join to personalise your forum profile, like having "Fighter" "Ninja" "Wizard" and "Priest" usergroups, and members can join the one (or more) they thought most appropriate to themselves.
I think everybody does, but I still consider myself a wizard, even though my playstyle has altered so I now rise quicker as Fighter. Still, I have fond memories of sleeping after every monster to regain mana...
And congratulations on your 7000th post Beo! Where's the Cherry Coke?
Sainsburys stopped selling it in december when they rejigged their stores! What kind of place have I moved to - I want back to CherryCokeLand...I mean...Scotland...
