HOW TO: Start your OWN VAF Social Group

We''re certain YOU have a great idea for a social group here at VAF and this blog post is your invitation to start one up. Here's how:

Click the GROUPS link in the main menu, then choose GROUPS (<--- or just click that link right there!) Once you reach the main page where all of our current social groups are listed, scroll down to the bottom and you'll see a link to Create a New Group. Click that link and fill in the fields on the next page - give your group a NAME (something nice and descriptive so people understand what it's all about!), fill in the description, make your group public or private, and click "Save" - your group is then ready to invite people to join!

Get people to join and participate in your group by posting a link and description in the TALK section, or - if it's a business-related group, post about it in the topic section that you think makes the most sense. Send PMs to your friends on the boards, Tweet your new group, etc. and before you know it you'll have an active mini-forum of your very own right here on VAF!
