Social Network Features

How would this benefit the software by its inclusion? All this does is blurs the line between administration and moderation.

Create a MOD. Make a real club system.
There's a MOD already somewhere for vBulletin.
Basically each club is a forum inside the main system.
That forum contains subforums just like the main forum. Seems like something easy to do and the permissions system is not hard. You should be able to do this in a couple of months.

I just found this. It seems that the OP basically wants a way to make phpBB into a limited social networking site. While I don't care one way or the other about that, it seems like it's been asked for in the past -- usually by gaming sites wanting to give each clan their own forum that they can make their own.

While it would require "forum admin" permissions, there would obviously be several others that they could use. For example, you would want to be able to handle group-related actions for your forums like adding and removing people to your forum's group as they were added to or removed from the clan or making people moderators for those forums (not Global Moderators, obviously).

Of course, if anybody is serious about this, they'll need to write an RFC. (I didn't see one linked to from here....)

P.S. So why hasn't the topic title been changed yet? I changed the subject of the post, but I can't do any more.

Yes, but include a true list of requirements for the change. For example, don't just say "Add social network features to phpBB"; tell what features you want added, how they'll work from both an administrator and user point of view, what new permissions will be needed, etc.

You can link to this discussion for reference, but without an actual proposal, it's not really an RFC.
