BTW - I hope this doesn't bother anyone. If it does, let me know and I won't do it.

Well, I say keep it with points. I prefer posting to a group with others who like the genre and like the incentive the points provide.

I think the issue is that groups are not really forums. Everyone who transferred over is thinking of them like because that's where they resides on the other site. But they are more like small sites. They have their own membership, their own content, their own message boards, etc. Everyone has come over from the previous site and so it is one community and everyone knows each other and is comfortable. Those that weren't were driven away or left on their own.  But in the future, many different types and levels of writers might join and interact and they may not all want to be part of the same experience.

Right now, if someone wants to be a part of this "community" they have to pay into the system to do it. For those that have already paid on the old site, this seems like a problem. And because the audiences pretty much the same, it is.

This doesn't make a solution easy though. I happen to think if you don't want people to pay extra to post in your group, make it "no points required." If you want them to have to pay into the group, not just the site, make it "points required." So, I guess that means I vote for keeping the current system.
