Question: I have a couple of ideas for DU groups that might be of value to DU and those of us who
come here.

How do you suggest an idea for a DU group or start one, if anyone knows?

Or even if you could tell me where to look that would be awesome. Thanks.

1. Well...

you have to get 10 donor members to agree that it's a good idea and that they'd be active in that forum. Also, you need a mission statement for the proposed group. Then you bring it to the admins who either create it, schedule it for a later update or reject it, usually for being something they don't want (i.e. my proposal to create a Fight Club forum...it clearly was going to descend into Project: Mayhem. Also, one of the several failed proposals for a DU dating forum.) or being too similar to another forum(ie. screenwriting would be a no go as too similar to writing and GD:Flamewar would be too close to GD and GD: P.)

edit: typo and a grammar-error.

2. I'd have loved a Fight Club forum.
Even though we couldn't ever talk about it on the parent boards.
