LOL< I know. My skin's toughened up a bit in here.
Yeah, I understand the difference...but I did expect, after having the group for 6 months or so, and supposedly having a bit of a following, for more than one to sign up when I made the announcement.
A bit disappointing, but it won't kill me, I just have to look for a replacement for what I thought would be a decent source of joins, lol.

the amount of members has been steadily increasing since i started my group

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/teenpics

now has 22 members
whatever i'm doing is working ok it's drawing attention to my group so..

There is like 100 new groups in the Adult category with 1 member only after this thread :evil-laug :evil-laug

That is what I am wondering too.

How can I get more members on my Google group?

i went as far as putting one of the group advertisement banners on one of my sites it seems to be working i'm not sure if the members came from there or just stumbled upon my group by searching...

i'm thinking they are going to be keeping the groups because some of the new groups have archives dating back 6 or 7 months so they must have carried over from google groups 2

so what type of groups have you guys started since we started talking about this i know a lot of you have made your own groups, who's seeing some success with there group as in you've established more than 10 members?
