Friday Fun…Groupie??

Hello Kathy - a search of AR groups can be a rabbit hole of randomness.  And you're right the discussion is raised on occasion and then seemingly hops away.  Only to return in multiple ways.  What's up with that, doc?  🐰🐇🐰

I am down to one group, Photos.

Have a great day and an outstanding weekend.

I am in a lot of groups, but I have never really known what they are for, other than an extra 25 points for posting in them, haha.

Good morning Kathy. I joined several groups but am only active in one these days, Bananatudes. One of these days I may have to drop into the "old farts" group. I certainly qualify. Enjoy your day.

Good morning Kathy,

Good topic! I am a member of several groups like BananaTudes, Old Farts Club, Bartender Make it a double, Almost Anything Goes, Active Rain Challenges and others and try to post to them. 

My fear of starting a Star Wars group is that we'd only meet once per year! 😂

Like Michael Jacobs , I am fearful of rabbit holes, especially in this busy market.   

Hi Kathy,
This is certainly an ongoing issue. I wonder if we could get some volunteers to contact Founders to see if they will either go in and delete their group or allow a new moderator to be appointed. Then we have the issue of who will want to become active moderators.

You know Kathy I quit thinking about all those worthless groups years ago.  Why waste my energy on something that clearly isn't working.  That makes no sense to me. And that goes for any part of my life! 

I saw a NETWORKING opportunity with ActiveRain and that is when BananaTude was founded 9/9/2009. We are a networking and relationship building community. What's not to appreciate about that! For those that don't like to network, well, that's fine by me. Personally I enjoy meeting new folks and learning and enjoying life together.  That's just me. Little Miss Tude!  And I can bet cha there are many other Tudes that think and feel the same way.

I know you do!  You've done so much for BananaTude and ActiveRain over the years and I so appreciate YOU! I remember clearly the day I called you in   early 2010 and said - can you help me?  BananaTude is getting so busy I can't keep up with it all.  Would you consider being a moderator.  You jumped right in and here we are today still enjoying and creating in BananaTude!

You Rock the Tudes!  As do all the moderators!

Kathy AR groups were a good idea, but unfortunately many of the AR groups are no longer maintained.

So many groups lost following and participation when AR changed hands. My group was one of them. BananaTudes is still going strong, thanks to the dedicated moderators like you, others and group start-up, Miss Anna Banana!

Kathy, haven't put anything into a group, except maybe an entry for a contest in years!

I was surprised to see Old Farts Club listed among the most active.  I started that group a decade ago as a joke.  We had 12 original members.  But, I have loved the comradery.  I need to start looking for an assistant moderator.  As I notice other life activities, are making me less active as I should be.

Not too many of the groups are really active anymore. It is interesting how the platform has developed. 

Wow Kathy,  I am market report, local expert, make my a double, whack, Activerain food and more

Although I have not been on the Q & A in years, I do not miss it.... now with that said I am in many groups and sometimes depending on what I write about post it in those groups that are appropriate for the post, Endre

p.s.: there are some groups that have not been active in years I still have it my lists, Endre

OK, I am going to have to look into hannabanana right now.  Kathy did a great sell job!
