    Thanks! And I agree that UCGs are not a huge priority, especially for an alpha site, but I'd personally love to see them on the roadmap!

    I read the FAQ when I signed up and was honestly kind of dismayed to see lack of support for user-created groups (UCGs from here on). I understand the reasoning, but wonder if there isn't some way to allow group creation without cluttering.

    Some ideas:

    • List UCGs in a different section of the site
    • Organize under creator's username (UserName.mygroup)
    • Limit number of UCGs one user can directly create (not moderate)
    • Group creation approval queue
    • Allow private groups (UserName.mygroup) to convert into public groups (~mygroup) with admin approval, good behavior from subscribers, meeting milestone goals (e.g. 5000 subscribers), and no conflicting groups

    I'm not sure how any of that would work, logistically, so I'm curious what ideas the community here has to offer.
