The Social Groups are formed and run by the members so if you have any questions regarding a particular group, you can find who started the group and ask them the specifics.

Perhaps its because I'm still a GJ noob, but I'd like to have a forum subsection that could server to connect forum members (perhaps geographic subsections?). I love working on cars and doing wood working projects, and have always wanted to organize wrenching parties, or the like. Maybe the social groups could be used to that end?

I like that idea; can pool talents/strengths of members....kind of like a barter of skills.

I have to give myself an "F" in carpentry/homebuilding type skills. Dad was pretty good in this area, but somehow it did not stick with me.

I have to give myself a good B+ in auto repair skills, especially electrical and driveability. I went to auto tech school a few years ago, set up a home repair shop on the side with plenty of tools. Also, got my ASEs in 4 areas.

Those are all great ideas and exactly what the Social Group feature is designed for. Instead of the moderators coming up with a thread or section for certain topics, the social groups allow you, the members, to decide what you want to specifically talk about.

Maybe somebody should start a Social Group for woodworkers or carpentry? It's up to you all.
