	What benefits do people get from civ groups? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

I'm a member of one and they've never contacted me

It's a useful timekiller to add useless features to it and try to convince someone that they relly need the features.

I don't know what I would do without it

They aren't supposed to contact you.

Civgroups is a kind of identification so when one person see you he/she will know in what places he/she will find some of your posts....

... .. perhaps we need and "Off Topic" Civ Group

It's a badge of honour for those who have a need to feel like they belong.

Hence my many, many icons. I want to belong everywhere.

I am sure the Civgroups potentially are a useful feature. However some people just collect them like stamps or something, which doesn't help. Also the lists are never updated, so that some people on them are not active.

I tried to be part of some civgroups, but I just didn't have time for it, so I gave up. It's interesting, but only if you actually participate of said groups. Otherwise, it's just a Armed Forces thing, sort of a "hey, look how many medals I got in my chest!" thing.

I still don't see the relevance of the feature. I mean some Civ Groups are self-explanatory. But others like "Latin Lovers" with the Bull icon

I wouldn't have a clue where to find the forum for that particular civgroup.

The script needs to be updated so that we can click on an icon and be taken not to a list of members for that civgroup, but to the forum for that civ group

I can see the use of the icons to see who plays multiplayer in games you play so you can set matches up, but some people just go overboard with these civgroups.

Most of these seemingly useless civgroups are teams of multiplayer democracy games, namely in SMAC and Civ3. You have to be a group member to access the private forum of the particular team. So even if the link was there, you couldn't open the forum, since you aren't a member.

Can we get the people who prance around with the Civgroups labels but haven't posted in the relevant forum for ages booted out? Or at least mildly tortured?

I think I have ONE civgroup icon that needs removing, but I always mean to use it. Sorry to the cake-or-death people

The benefits of the civgroups are to make Jamski feel guilty.

Civgroups..?

I think I joined one, but haven't used it for anything... if I still have it I think it's time to remove it


EDIT:

I see I have joined one, but I can't seem to find the "Get-the-hell-out-of-this-Civgroup-now" button

Go to he forum related to the civ group. In the middle, above the forums, you will see some text that says something like "civ group", it shows the number of members, and right below that it says either Join or Leave depending on whether you are a member or not.

Select leave
