Yup, the vast majority of groups have been deleted, as site volunteer Gavin explains in this post.
It's a bit scary to go from hundreds of groups to just a handful, but we think it will make the site more valuable and useful for everyone. The new groups created so far are:
TV & Film
Promote your work, discuss industry trends, share ideas, arrange social events - it's up to you!
Web
A group for the discussion of all things online. Yes, we know that's rather a lot.
For digital, design, copywriting, PR, animation. All in one group, because few of us are one trick ponies.
Gaming
Whether it's multi-million pound RPGs or fast-fire mobile games, this is your industry forum.
Trends, challenges and brilliant ideas from public, private and voluntary sectors.
Because let's be frank, funding is like golddust these days. Get some ideas here.
Edinburgh Happenings and Glasgow Happenings
Formerly Edinburgh Coffee Morning and Glasgow Coffee Morning, now a place to post any social events in the cities. We're not discriminating - let us know if you want to run a group for your city too.
As you can see, these Groups are very new, and very sad and empty right now. They will busy up in time but they rely on your contributions, so get talking!
We have plans for many more groups, but they need people to look after them. Would you like to volunteer? If so, we'd love to hear from you. Leave a comment below or email me direct.
You can also let us know what you think of the site and suggest new ideas at Your 38minutes.
Finally, big thanks to Espen Brunborg for providing our lovely new Group icons.
