[This may have been suggested already, however I will speak my piece.]
Essentially; Groups are a huge part of ROBLOX. Over my many, many years playing this game(An avid player since 2009), I've noticed that overtime groups have become a more important feature to many people who play this game. Many people play this game strictly FOR group interactivity- they've only grown in popularity and significance since their release in 2009.
Now, the basis of ROBLOX itself is it's building system- people create things that they like, and potentially believe other people will like- Hence the game system. What do people come on ROBLOX to do, as anybody does? Play games. So ROBLOX has adapted features to suit such gaming.
On the ROBLOX game page, you'll see plenty of things suited to attract people to certain things. You have the "Popular", "Top Earning, "Top Rated", "Featured", and "Recommended" sections on the games page to differentiate them and spread their appeal to different types of people. You also have Genre selection, in which you can select what type of game you want to play, from Medieval to Sci-Fi, and everything in between. So here is my suggestion: Group Interactivity. Some people spend all their time looking for a good group, so what if they could just search up a certain kind and find just what they're looking for? What if we had charts for groups, like we do games, that show significant member growth, etc. What if you could select groups by genre? Sure, you can always search up "Clothing" or "Colonial" or whatever suits your fancy in the search bar, however there will always be plenty of oddball groups you may not want anything to do with. I believe that there should be a multitude of systems in place, from "Member Count"- you can search groups by how many members they have, "Join Exclusivity" - Instead of shuffling through groups you can freely join, or ones you have to request to, you can just tab a checkbox and shuffle through one or the other, "BC-Exclusivity" - Groups that are BC-Only, which isn't necessarily a prominent feature, but it is a feature, "Genre" - You can select groups by genre. Like I said before, you can select groups that are marked as Clothing groups, Colonial Groups, Futuristic Groups, Modern Military, etc. Lastly, the charts. There should be charts for "hot" groups, groups that have been created recently and are picking up speed. Not only would this draw attention to up-and-coming group, reducing the(often expensive) grind and giving them all a chance. This would also make it easier for ROBLOX to identify and terminate groups that are created that violate ROBLOX rules. There should also be charts for groups that have a lot of members, charts for "recommended" groups - groups selected based on the groups you've joined in the past, charts for "featured" groups - groups selected by ROBLOX that they deem should be shown off, like the Games Page. Again, I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, but I figured I'd throw in my two cents because I love groups- groups on ROBLOX are the reason I still play this game after how long I've been around - I believe that Games are given a spotlight, and I believe that Groups should too. Group development IS development, just as Game development is. Running a group is EQUALLY as time, resource, and patience-consuming as running a front-page game. I just think it's time that ROBLOX gives them that credit.
Thank you all. -J

| Gonna bump again- seems necessary, especially due to the ever-so-recent and ever-so-abundant WNTS posting by a certain 2.0. |

I actually downright refused to even try reading this as soon as I even saw the paragraphs were indented... What the hell is wrong with me I'm pretty sure that's just proper formatting.
