Creating a Community (Online Group)

If you can't find a community you would like to join, how about creating one of your own? Every registered member of mc2 can create their own groups or communities. Be aware however, that inactive or inappropriate groups are subject to removal by mc² staff - see the Code of Conduct re Inappropriate Content and Inactive Groups.

You will be the owner of any community or group you create and be responsible for its content, as well as for ensuring members of your group comply with the Code of Conduct. You will need to attract members and appoint Moderators to help you administer your group. You may require help with this.

You can attend a free training worshop, download manuals or contact us for help.

The link to Create a Community is towards the top left of the My Communities page [you need to login first]
Creating a group online is very easy, but if you create a group just for test purposes, please remember to delete it again afterwards.
