Look at it another way, if we were using NodeBB's hosted product and made two communities (made them as different customers, from different companies) it would be two communities on the same hosts and...

And the IMs are private now. I assume that the one on one privacy is not considered a concern?

So, for me, the challenge is trying to think about what makes some private groups obviously wrong and some seem like they are fine when, at the technology level, I can't make them into different things.

Because if we don't have the private groups here, they will (and do) exist anyway. That's the biggest challenge. That people have conversations in private is going to happen no matter what. The...

Absolutely - bring those private groups here for the stated purposes. The last thing anyone should want is the requirement to log into dozens of different sites when they are all controlled by the same...

I see your point and I'm glad that this level of thought is going into it. Although I am still not 100% on board with the idea it is something for me to think about. Obviously the decision is not mine...

@Dashrender said: This is the problem I was mentioning in a different thread (I think). The primary group has around 100 subgroups and each of those subgroups have their own website/forum. This makes...

You're right Scott - managing subgroups can be a huge pain. But the alternative of dumping everything, even though it's related can make things completely unusable. Example. My Star Wars group has...

@Dashrender would tagging not have fixed that? Have a tag for the location, type of interest, time period, group name or whatever is appropriate?

Thank you for all your input everyone. This is something Scott and I have discussed many times. If we decided to keep these private areas open (right now it's more for testing the functionality than...

That totally makes sense. Today so many postings, or just information itself does not seem to fit within a small little box of hierarchy so I can definitely see how this could help. Does the user have...

@Dashrender on ML, you can add tags at topic creation (or edit)

For those following along, all of the private groups are gone. Nothing left of that experiment. Everything is quite public again.
