If I may ask, and please pardon me because I am not much of a player, can make a lot of noise or am I much of a builder. But why all the groups? I thought the nation was the group to belong to. Cigar Box Nation is what the header says. Now I have no problem with dulcimers or any other home made instrument being on here but. The simplicity of what the Nation started out as is gone. The music some of you guys produce just blows my mind, your all amazing but why have all these groups. A group for this a group for that. I thought it was about what kind of music can we create from simple instruments. I guess because I just play for me, I don't understand. And so many of you build instruments if I had the money I would buy from all of you.
Thank you for your time

I don't see any need to delete groups - and to delete the information collected there. We just had a "brain drain" through Ted's ban and the deletion of all his contributions. Even the "fun" groups should stay. They are important for a big and healthy web community. The regional groups are probably a good way to coordinate local activities between members (festivals, concerts, sources for wood, tools, boxes).
I agree that the navigation and the overview could be better. I don't know which possibilities the Ning network provides to improve this, but perhaps Shane knows... either way, no need to urge something until we have a real concept that could replace the actual group concept.
I don't see any reason to delete groups. It's up to the individual group owners to promote their groups. You guys have created great discussions in here. Why not push your groups when you feel the info is important? Have fun with it.
