it's confusing! and what's this...i have to request to join a group, and my "request reason" will be reviewed by a moderator?? on hipforums?? ah, ok then. it just annoys me, thats all. if i want to join psychedelics group and talk with other hippies, i shouldnt need permission. but hey, that might be just me. :/.
I'd guess that this is temporary. Probably working some kinks out, you know the ones that kept blocking us from the server. Personally I prefer this one to my threads, but I'm still poking around and trying to figure this place out.
