We are currently working on Buzzen Groups, which will allow users to set up a group much like the old MSN Group Pages. We are interested in knowing what you would like to see included in groups. Give us your ideas and we will try to incorporate them.

I would like to see a button replace "/fixscroll" and other commands of that kind. You have a LOT of people who are physically infirm and a button is much easier to work with than typing out a DOSlike command.

First and foremost I'd like to see you incorporate any and all of the MSN technology and features for building Groups/Communities .. making sure that anyone can build them as MSN did. In other words, a person would not need to know coding such as HTML to actually construct a Group/Community, create categories separating General from Adult Groups/Communities and give the owners responsibility as well the ability to easily control access to the Groups. Provide plenty of space to store images.

Providing technological ease needs to be a goal ... one site had done that when MSN first eliminated their Groups and the site grew exponentially as MSN folks flocked to it. They have slowly moved away from the easiness of making and maintaining groups there and folks are searching for alternate sites. Another site, Blogger, had recently considered closing down groups that contained adult images but quickly reversed that after the protests and intentions of people to leave and go elsewhere.

Censorship is best practiced by the individuals who use a site .. if it is clearly marked as an adult site containing adult images and text or information allow people to choose whether or not they enter. Obviously the primary rule should be that anyone who wants to join/enter a Group must already be a registered Buzzen member. Anyone approved to be a member of an individual group would also need to be approved by the owner(s) to do things like respond to commentary or add images or pages

I know I have said a lot already so I just want to say again, use all of the old MSN technology as possible, there is absolutely no sense in re-inventing the wheel ... Do this and I am sure that just the word of mouth will cause a ground swell of people to join and return to Buzzen as there are so many who moved to alternate sites when MSN shut down. Whether it is individuals who just want "Siggie" groups or "Discussion" groups or even those who enjoy the eroticism of "Adult" groups .....

Buzzen can have an impact on hundreds and probably thousands of people who had to abandon their MSN groups when it was decided to close down that feature. No alternate sites have provided the ease that MSN did. Having used some of these sites I find it to be exciting that Buzzen is finally considering adding this feature. The problem is if you make it more technical than it needs to be, and techy folks tend to do that too often. OK I have given you more than what you wanted ... Thank you!!!

@ JPStrikes.. you no longer have to type /fixscroll.. if you simply click in the area where you type it auto fixes it.

I think katya said it all. It all comes down to an updated Buzzen that is an MSN redux :)
