You're behind on the times my friend.
The Staff pruned the Social Groups this summer.
They're moderator-approved now by the way.

they did that? Why?

and now the groups need to be approved...I guess that's resonable.

Most were duplicates of other groups and/or spampits.

Um, because like 99% of them(overexaggeration) were inactive and had 0 posts? They had to clean out all the clutter.

Also what dude in japanese username said.

Plus, they needed a good cleaning out. D: But I don't blame you for asking this, seeing as you weren't here for like a whole year! :o
