New Group - Aces

[Peter L]

Perhaps the 1 year registration is a bit too much. - 500 posts is great and then once that is achieved members should be judged on their own merit. Even have current members suggest new users or vote on accepting new members?

First Name: Sam
Age: 19
Area of Knowledge: Site, Tech, Emotional Support & Web development.
Why would you like to join: I've allways wanted to see a group like this, something quite 'exsclusive' that rewards members being high quality.
In your own words, who are the Aces: Dedicated, mature and responsible members who strive to keep SF a friendly, active and a high quality place.

I think the 1 year is just right. Support Forums has been around for more than double that so it is fitting in my opinion. Anybody can join a forum, contribute a hell of a lot, get over 1,000 posts, etc in under one year. What if they get bored and never come back? If you're still here after a year I can trust you will not abandon the group (or the forums, for that matter) without a good reason.

And yes, all voting on members will be done by other members. Currently it is only me of course, but once everything is set than all members will vote. As said in the OP, their is no "leader" of the group.

Not a member for a year :L I'd join had it not been for that one requirement. :[

There is still the 500 posts, as well.
