What benefits do people get from civ groups?

[Alexander's Horse]

I'm a member of one and they've never contacted me

[Gramphos]

It's a useful timekiller to add useless features to it and try to convince someone that they relly need the features.

I don't know what I would do without it

[The Slayer]

They aren't supposed to contact you.

Civgroups is a kind of identification so when one person see you he/she will know in what places he/she will find some of your posts....

... .. perhaps we need and "Off Topic" Civ Group

[MrWhereItsAt]

It's a badge of honour for those who have a need to feel like they belong.

Hence my many, many icons. I want to belong everywhere.

[The Slayer]

Yes MrWIA, but, the "bull" one needs you...

Anyway, I'm not more the leader of the team!

[DrSpike]

I am sure the Civgroups potentially are a useful feature. However some people just collect them like stamps or something, which doesn't help. Also the lists are never updated, so that some people on them are not active.

[Alexander's Horse]

says he who once had a whole bunch

[DrSpike]

Wrong again.

[Alexander's Horse]

you took civ 2 off, that upset us

[DrSpike]

You asked me to! Ask not lest ye receive.

[Alexander's Horse]

we were only testing your sincerity and commitment

[Dauphin]

I'm with my civgroups in spirit even if not in person.

I tried to be part of some civgroups, but I just didn't have time for it, so I gave up. It's interesting, but only if you actually participate of said groups. Otherwise, it's just a Armed Forces thing, sort of a "hey, look how many medals I got in my chest!" thing.

[Aramis]

What's a civgroup and what is its function?

[The Mad Monk]

It's the fruit salad you see under many posters' name etc.
