Duplicate Subforum?

Post by xaratustrah »

As I am new to these forums, I am just curious, why there are two "Groves and Seedgroups" subforums in the main forum structure? One of them is directly under the "OBOD Grade Forums and General Discussions" the other is a subforum to the "OBOD: General Discussion".

Hi, xaratustrah,

The OBOD Groves and Seedgroups forum is used by people looking for seed groups or groves to join, or to discuss creating one, or to ask questions about them, etc.

The other Groves and Seedgroups forum is "A forum that houses individual grove and seedgroup forums, which are visible only to the members of those forums. The forums listed herein accept applications through the board; others may be joined by invitation or requesting access from their respective group leaders." In other words, this forum is where various seed groups can have their own online private forum-within-a-forum (generally used by groups that don't have a website or other ready means of communication between members). These are administered and maintained by the individual members who requested them, not by any of the administrative staff for the entire forum.
