Create group pages, all members can join one page, and that group would have a private forums area to discuss goals and membershp and competitions

This is definitely something I have on my list. I'd like to make it so players in your "league" appear in a different color, maybe have shared league awards, and other cool things. I'll probably wait until the membership increases a little bit and see what happens with these combines and conferences in the meantime.

Could you possibly describe this "league awards" type deal alex?

I was just thinking it might be cool to have a league get recognition when they have members do well. Not sure what kind of awards that would entail, but maybe something like the medal counters on current user profiles.

That could be neat. I see where you're getting at. I just hope we aren't forced into a league. It just sounds way to complicated for me.
