I still have no idea who you'd want to keep out. Also I'm not planning on locking this away for myself. All the mods on the forum (And you too if you want) will be group managers and whatnot.
I assume it's just for the same reason why we would like a new group in the first place. The original DYKG group is filled with people who have propably never even been to the forums.

Taken from my draft for the steam group thread:
Wait, Why do I have to jump through hoops just to get invited into some stupid group :(
We are sorry you feel that way, but this requirement is in place to filter out any lurkers that don’t want to join our community and just want to spam junk that include but are not limited to: VGfacts video ideas, shilling out Let’s play/Game review/etc. channels, and crowding up the chat room talking about really weird things and alienating the rest of the us from the chatroom. Yes, we know this requirement is very mean spirited, but we do this to keep the original vision of this group: To play games together as a community. I mean come on, I’m not asking you to type me an essay on why you should be invited just keep it short and sweet.
Heck there's no point in making a new group; we could just go back to using DYKG's Steam group. (Also now I have to sit on this thread draft.)

^I had an online chat room for a forum once, that system worked wonders. Invite only, prove you're worthy.

Wait so what's the plan? Are we making a new group, going back to DYKG?

You're free to use the new group. All I'm trying to do is justify the idea of why the group should be set to private.
RE: Calling all PC Gamers? - Psychospacecow - 04-17-2013
I say we be left private.
RE: Calling all PC Gamers? - Lazlo Falconi - 04-17-2013
Okay, I'll set it to private. I've just seen far too many groups wither and die because they were private and nobody wanted to go through hoops to join.
Actually, I'll set it to private as soon as Steam stops being a patoot.

You let that be our concern. And yes, I would like to be given admin powers so I can get to work on setting up shop on Steam's end.

It was working again today, so it's set to invite only.

I don't have access to the group description, I need you to give me that permission.
RE: Calling all PC Gamers? - Lazlo Falconi - 04-18-2013
Ahh, sorry about that. I guess the problems yesterday were bigger than I thought.
RE: Calling all PC Gamers? - Combat Lobster - 04-18-2013
So I'm trying to upload the avatar, but every time I do that it's keeps coming out ugly as crap. :(
