    Technically, a friend list is a secret group. Wall chat and feed viewability is exclusive and the content goes unmoderated. I can only imagine what you people say amongst your friends.

    I may or may not have a secret group

    I've learned that this always means Yes, I do have a secret group.

    I have a secret group

    The trick is to hide in plain sight

    It isn't any fun if you don't allow anyone to join.... 😑

    If you had accepted my FR you wouldn't have to imagine. sigh...

    I remember that.

    At the time I didn't keep a friend list so I turned down all requests. It was nothing personal. I just wanted to remain a loner and a renegade.

    I've always (and still) love your posts.

    I only recently learned you can't send or receive a PM at MFP unless it's from an official friend. All this time I thought the PM function was broken. Doh.

    So recently I've sent and accepted a few invitations and have a small friend list.

    I'm sending a request to you now. If you'll have me.

    There are no kittens between friends.

    Are you saying there's a group for bird enthusiasts?
    Yeah, there's a super-secret bird-loving group, but it may not be what you think...

    Is it called Fluffers?

    I want to join this group.

    i used to hate birds cept birds of prey but then this charming goose and then these baby chicks changed everything and now i’m like “birds :love:

    <3

    I see how they can be scary. I mean they have beaks and claws and are essentially fluffy dinosaurs. Parrots are like bipolar toddlers on crack. But, I love them so.

    Well if I had a secret group I’m sure the membership would be growing at exponential rates because it would be absolutely bursting at the seams with secret information

    If this secret group exists it may use smoke and mirrors to mask its true nature.

    “Hark, is that a tiny ship on the horizon yonder, or a giant spacecraft floating amongst the fog? Truly, who can tell?”

    This might even be the motto, if such a secretive forum group were to exist

    IMHO, the "best" part about the secret groups thing is that it's a wonderful way to monetize your MFP account.

    Work your way into as many private groups as possible to increase the sales price of your account. I find "secret group" memberships to be significantly more valuable than large friend lists when selling an MFP identity.



    *kitten* i’m going about this all wrong

    how do hug:inspire:woo ratios figure into price?

    i still regret not selling my old account when i had the permalink at the top of the page all that time

    The cool thing about being in a group with only one other person is that we always know exactly who reacts to our posts.

    does this apply if you have multiple personalities?

    The other cool thing is that in a meeting you always know who farted.

    This is a fair point. I would suggest that everyone follow the chit chat protocol of one MFP account PER personality. That's a thing, isn't it?

    Sadly, it appears as though the MFP Community Guidelines do not recognize Dissociative Identity Disorder and emphasize only the person; not the personalities...
