Groups and permissions groups on AO

[magnesson]

Hello all, i was curious about the groups and permissions groups. i'd like to start a group for guitarist in hope of collaborations, ideas, forming a ambient guitarist supergroup. who knows, i just not sure how it works or if any one would be interested in a killer guitarist supergroup i don't know but i think it would be super fantastic!!!!

I was not sure either, but I found the info below in the FAQ by searching there for 'groups'. What I'm really not sure about is how S1gns has the permissions set. I suggest that you go ahead and try to start a group per the instructions from the FAQ. Let us know if you are not able to so we can see if S1gns will change the permissions.

By the way, I think this a fantastic idea! I'd like to see this work.

What is a Group?
A Group is a group of people usually with a particular interest or something else in common. It provides a way of communicating between members as well as sharing photos or other images.
You can get to the list through 'Group Memberships' section on your public profile (?).
The Groups list page displays all groups that have been created. You can list the groups by the number of members, messages or photos, the group name, when the group was created or by the date of the most recent message posted. You can use the controls provided to search for a group.
How do I join a group?
To join a group, click the group title then click 'Join Group'. When you have joined a group, its name will be shown in your public profile. You must be a logged-in, registered member to join groups.
Can I create my own Group?
As a registered member, you can create your own Group (providing the administrator allows this). Go to the groups page and click 'Create A New Group'. Complete the title and description for your group then select the type. There are three types of groups:

• Public - open to everyone. There is no restriction on who can join or who can post messages to it
• Invite Only - require an invitation to be sent to join them. Invitations can only be sent by the group creator or forum moderators and administrators. Invitations are sent by clicking 'Pending & Invited Members' at the bottom of the page for that individual group
• Moderated - open to everyone to join but messages need to be moderated before they will appear. They are moderated by the group creator and the site moderators and administrators.

Despite being my main instrument, I don't usually use guitars to produce ambient. I only have done one satisfying track with it, although it turned out very good (if curious it's here, don't want to bother anyone with full blown embedding now).
Anyway I think every stimulus is good, so here I am, mostly lurking, but present.
