Hi Alex! Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry that the groups you have been looking into are rather inactive at the moment. Compared with 2009, things have become rather quiet around here - at least on the surface. There are peaks and lulls in activity and some of it can be hard to trace from any given point (there's also a lot happening on our Facebook page). Groups in particular are somewhat of a problem in that there are over 200 at the OAC - any member can start a group - and I'd venture that most have become rather inactive. You haven't done anything wrong. In fact, you're doing it right. After 4 years, it's about time we rethink how this community works and what we can do to make it better/more appealing and avoid situations like you find yourself in at present. We are currently reviewing the entire website and taking a member survey to inform an imminent redesign of the home page and its component parts. The intention is to streamline what we offer here and boost participation. If you haven't already done so, maybe you can take the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1xt-5SQOmVroWaTxUMRFvfxOKp8oRZOlyd5HIE5x5aCI/viewform
