Can we have the vBulletin Social Groups opened up or enabled on this site? You can create a group and people can join as members then they have their own little group forum, etc.

I think it will boost productivity and focus. since people will be more organized and informed about the activities they are concerned about. I am also in the process of creating a video promoting ronpaulforums.com and dailypaul.com. If we can enable this, new people can see what they can sign up for to help RP. and they can see all the important info for their group in their group page (https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/group.php?groupid=872) and not have those important info disappear into the hundreds of threads in the forum.

for those who don't know what it looks like, it's like this:
https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/group.php
https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/group.php?groupid=872
Social groups are different from actual permission groups (admin, mods, users, banned, etc)

some thoughts:

groups link to add on the top together with "blogs" "calendars", and rename it Activities (or something like that) (the link is important to get traction)
groups can only be created by admins
groups are joinable (public not private)
group discussions are viewable (public not private)

AFAIK, that's how it is, now. There are a few groups made for specific events. It's just a feature most people probably don't know about. The groups are able to talk amongst themselves and the leaders have the option to edit permissions on who can view/edit group discussion. However, AFAIK, there isn't any type of "Activities" feature aside from editing the calendar I don't imagine many view. That'd be a nice addition.
