its kinda a fun thing that started off with a group of people that just became bigger over time. its kinda like a community. its out of hand now though
they're like little TBT fandoms for a specific collectible? at least that's how i view it
I'm a little bothered that it is basically a chat thread on The Marketplace. As you most have stated it is out of control and needs to be moved to another location. If they want a raffle to support their effort start a thread for that.
Another thing is the fact they are attempting to get a group to open up. That's fine. However, now it is a secret society and only a select few can be involved. Reminds me of something else that failed horribly due to ego and the priority to exclude unwanteds.
Clear up The Marketplace, do not allow secret societies and get back to the original plan. That's just my view of what is going on.

I really didn't expect It to blow up in popularity, its just annoying now.
Honestly, I kinda like the group idea.
Back on ZB we had a board for groups and a lot of members made animal crossing groups (I remember the red and blue ogre groups, there are probs more but I don't remember). They'd be ran by a few people and they'd organize events for group members, and then hand out AC items as prizes. But then CF started dying, so did TBT and then groups basically never came back. I was kinda hoping they'd come back when NL released coz I had an idea or two for a group myself, but a board never got made so I didn't end up doing it.
Even tho I never really joined any groups I always liked seeing peoples signatures and seeing that they were part of a certain group (coz they often had special group sigs and banners), it just kinda felt like a sense of community or sth idk - it was just kinda nice seeing two completely different members be affiliated by the group in their sig or sth idk how to explain.
Groups only really bother me when they become cliquey and exclusive, but back then they weren't, which was good, so I'm hoping that these current groups don't turn out that way. So yeah I kinda like seeing the old groups back, I just kinda wish they weren't just for collectibles but whatever lol.
