Wow, I'm thrilled for obvious reasons.
Thanks for the announcement.
* - Fossil - Sep 15, 2012
Awww, this is pretty sad news for all of those who wanted to buy a group.
But you can still donate to HF, and receive the Ruby Donator award.

I'm actually pretty glad to see this being announced. I was just talking to people the other day about how there were too many usergroups already and that half of them are pointless.
* - NieR - Sep 15, 2012
I have been awaiting this announcement, and it is true, the latest groups have no relevance, quality, or need.
* - NaDe - Sep 15, 2012
Are group owners still allowed to sell their group to another member?

It is okay NaDe, I understand your condition.

Did you read the thread? Or just wana get your post count and epenis size up?
* - Strokes - Sep 15, 2012
Glad you're doing this. New groups are just starting to become redundant.
Just another way for someone to enlarge their epenis.

I'm glad this change was made before we end up with multiple groups with no real purpose, it's already starting to happen. Groups are meaningless if there's loads of them. I'm sure a lot of group owners are very pleased with this announcement as well.
This should also help quiet the critics who believe you put money before anything, user groups were obviously very profitable to you yet you made your decision based on increasing the quality of HF. Much respect for that.
* - Qwazz - Sep 15, 2012
No real loss here, hopefully te newer groups will be able to fully pay off their outstanding balances.
* - Nickelodeon - Sep 15, 2012
All the existing groups are really really rare now.
* - Nostre - Sep 15, 2012
Sort of a good decision. I can't see another user group being purchase and having that originality.

Quote:Will you ever Change you mind in the future when Group start to be LQ
Extremely unlikely. I'd be more likely to code out something fresh and innovative.
Quote:But what if let's say a person deleted the usergroup he owned? Would a spot to buy a new one be open?
Nope.
Quote:Are group owners still allowed to sell their group to another member?
Yes but new owners must be approved by me and $250 transfer fee will apply. I've rejected plenty of members to own groups.
* - Wolves - Sep 15, 2012
Thank you for this. Hopefully now the current groups will step up their game because of this.
Groups went from being part of a family and a purpose, to being almost exclusively a place to socialize.
There have always been a few groups in which have continued their ways and shall be respected for that.
I suggest new groups find a clear purpose and stick to it, bring the meaning of an HF group back to the website.
