As many of you are aware, we've got Groups on BP where people can elect to connect with others on a smaller and more personal scale then they can on the public forums.While in theory, having groups is an important feature, in practice, these groups really aren't being used very much, and there is often little activity on them, despite having large numbers of people on them.So . . .
