What is the significance of groups?
I feel it more like a classification, rather than a true sense of the group.
In my sense, the topics in the group is independent of the general topics.
-
Basic functionality:
- category permissions
- mentions (
@group-name)
On this board the private groups are some sort of official classification (membership set by admins). The public groups also are some sort of classification but more off-topic, just for fun.
How groups are managed on another board is configurable and thus each admin can decide what he wants to have groups for.

@frissdiegurke
thanks your reply

Is it possible to assign someone to a group for certain period of time?
-
Users can be automatically added to a group but you have to remove them manually or they can use Leave Group button. Any additional functionality may be added by a custom made plug-in.

@frissdiegurke It would have been nice if there is an option for group discussion in groups.
