Coming soon - social groups!

BumpJackie

Exciting news about a new community feature!

Coming soon: Social Groups! 

What are social groups? This feature will allow members to create personalized groups, invite-only groups and private groups on The Bump. 

There will be three types of groups users can create. Social groups can be 1) public; 2) invite only to post but visible to all; or 3) private - invite only to post and invite only to view.

One thing to note: Social groups will not be moderated by The Bump, but it is expected you follow the same community rules while in the groups. Private or not, we urge you not to share any personal information.

Look out for this new feature next week!

Hmmm, my first reaction to this is here comes the drama...

In fact the more I think about this, it's a completely terrible idea. Awful. Please don't.

Wow, let's encourage cliques, smart! I think this will kill a lot of boards that have people that prefer to talk more to their 'group'. W/e.

When I used TK, some of us decided to move to a group fb chat. It didn't take long for our TK board to die. Even now a couple years later, it is still dead. I think creating these private groups is only going to cause these boards to die out.

So far, 3 for 3 hate this idea.....However, I extend my offer over here to BNB. I am accepting applications to join my awesome clique group. Also accepting ideas for theme songs.....

I'm already working on my ninja giffing with help from @hisgirlfriday929.

Can I sit at the cool kid table when everyone leaves the regular boards? (Because we know this is inevitable) In other words...Don't leave meeee!!!!!

Just adding my two cents and agreeing that this is a terrible idea.

I just don't see what the purpose is. I mean, I know what they're saying is the purpose, but the logistics....they just don't fly.

What a terrible idea. Seriously, it will kill the boards here. I thought the point here was to encourage new members so that you could sell advertisements to more people. Bad business plan.

If ya'll wanted to migrate....https://pandce.****/

That's where a lot of The Nest went (I frequent the Home&Garden board).  It's a great place.  User created and moderated (no corporate Knot/Nest/Bump).  Just sayin....

Hahaha! I was trying out a quote from Mean Girls. I had never seen it before last weekend!

Can I be Amanda Seyfried then? I may or may not have a huge crush on her.
