So...A while back I sent a request or I guess you could say applied for a new group here on SG.com. It was on the subject of ocean liners. I'm a huge history fan and I also love ships. You can find out more about ocean liners here.

The point is I was denied. Or at least never replied to. So I figured maybe my subject was just a little to weird or maybe off topic for this site. Tonight I was browsing the SG group section of the site. I saw categories such as WTF?. I also saw group names such as cute overload,mermaids and sirens,hooping,yes hooping, and of course Randomness. Now don't get me wrong, this is all good. But WTF! What gives?

First I would like to state this is not an attack on groups or topics I listed as examples. But I would like to know why my topic was denied or otherwise. I've heard many people say they think sg is a "clicky" place. I would like to believe this is not the case.

A group is basically meant for topics that seem to be too big for a thread in a board. I don't really know how many people are really into Ocean Liners enough for a whole group to be dedicated to it. I'd try to start a discussion on ocean liners in a group like randomness or on a board and see if other people have the same interests. If a surprisingly large group of people have a lot to talk about it then maybe a moderator would see that a group would be a needed thing.
