I coulda sworn we had the ability to create Doper groups. Did Jerry decide that it would never work and just scrap it? Are we getting it back? I would love to be able to start a SoCal Doper group (to make Dopefests easier), an LGBTQQIA doper group, etc.

They’ve been disabled until Jerry’s finished doing what he needs to with the board. We’re avoiding adding anything into the mix that might interfere with the fixes he’s trying to make.

Ah, OK. Thanks for the quick answer.
