    Groups used to be a feature that let you make your own private communities. Each one had a forum to itself.

    It was a buggy and incomplete system though, with absolutely no visibility into the groups. That made it impossible to find active groups.

    It was shut down many years ago, so you can't create groups anymore. You'll only see groups on certain really old player's profiles.

    Somehow I got let into the group 'Basic Builders' despite the forum being dead and nobody responding to me, but all of the other groups I've applied to haven't even let me in.

     Then that means one of admins is active, or one day just logged in.

    There should be something like groups, but not like groups persey. Perhaps a communities tab? Users can join, notifications for collaborations on saves, something like BSTS. Users can interact, forums, and host events in this feature. If members want to make collaborative saves, they can select members of said Community to help collaborate on a save/saves. When opening up The Powder Toy, they get a notification. This could be beneficial for in game activity etc. Members of these communities can be set as Admins, Moderators, Managers by the creator of said Community. 

     

    Like I said users get a notification when an event is being held in the Community, or selected for a save to collaborate on. You can unselect users too! This is where groups failed in my opinion and like you said. 

     

    This is just my take.

    @jacob1 if because of group creation used to much memory 

    So why couldn't just do not let new players to create the group?

    Memory wasn't the problem. It was what I stated earlier.

     What's why you could test before lunching it

    And by the way the staff understands coding better now

     

    So make a testing website and try to make of the group won't be glitchy

    I don't take free requests. I already have my hands full with TPT 98.0, and I have plenty of other projects to work on after that. A new groups system is never going to happen, given that Discord exists.
