I personally like this idea. Bring up your group, stay active in it. Also it will help folks to "see" the blogs and forums more. Good work

Its a great way for Group Creators to really build their respective group. With so much going on at iKC a collector can get into so many topics. If a Group Creator is on a mission, he/she will need to capture reader attention, and this is a great way to get noticed for that effort.

Well, we shall see. Sometimes a little bit of the wrong thing will stop up a big drain.

Good point Robert, as they say "I'll take that under advisement"

Actually Rick just the opposite, it will be great incentive for a new member to jump in on active discussion, in an active group. if a member wants to know what is "hot" across all of iKC , blogs or pics or discussion or groups...the place to check is Leaderboards a daily compiled list of smoking hot content!

That is a great point Pat, all Groups are there but you will have to click on the tab at the top that say GROUPS. it will display a list of all groups and you can page through to find your group or enter the group name under search. It will be a few more steps but if you have a great group, we hope its worthwhile!

I'm afraid this might make groups even more inactive. Users want easy (or easier) access. I think it was easier when more groups were posted on the main page and not just 10... they were a bit easier to find. This could also confuse a lot of members. They may think that their group is gone when it isn't, thus making it more inactive than it was before. Then, we'd be back to square one, wouldn't we?

I am sure that Steve has the overall good of our club at heart and is trying to improve things. This new Group management may work better than we realize so we should all get behind Steve and try to get it going the best we can. Lets not knock it till we've tried it.

Robert what you say is true, and I thank you. Its just a way to recognize those groups who work so hard to inform members. They deserve to be on our Main Page. Lets face it, with so much to see and do on iKC, with new pictures, new blogs, new discussions and the new chat, THERE IS A LOT TO DO! LOL No we have not quite achieved video game status but there is a lot here and I do encourage both old and new members to enjoy all we have to offer.

No problems with it down south. Looks like an attempt to streamline the main page a bit and make it more user friendly.

Yep, Steve can see the big picture better than we can. I'm sure if he thinks it's a good move for the club, then it probably is. We certainly can't complain about his tech. decissions so far. GO, IKC!
