New Coffee Group started ...
It seems that some of the members of the group "Morning Coffee in the Nude", were upset because I changed some of the rules for joining that group when I took it over as Moderator. That group was originally a Public group, which meant anyone could join. I made that group Private after taking over that group from a Mod that had abandoned the group. I deleted photos that were obviously sexual and deleted memberships of people that had fake, private, blank or minimally filled out profiles. These people complained to Admin and we are now at impasse with some rule about keeping a Public group Public if you take it over from a Mod that abandoned the group. So ... I started a new Coffee group in case I am bumped from Moderator duties of the Morning Coffee in the Nude group.
So ... here it is. Another group with a similar name about the same things we enjoy ... nudism, living nude, being nude and drinking coffee! I don't expect this group to be any more active than the other. This is just a fall back group if I am kicked out as Moderator of the other group.
Thanks!
Andy, I am vehemently in agreement with the changes you made to the other group. Its sad (as usual) that the owners did not support your attempt to make this site in fact "true." You are very active here and I am sure I am not the only one that appreciates what you do. Thanks.
I was going to join this new group. But it seems as if I am already a member. Thanks, Andy! ANY group that andy Moderates.owns/etc. is a group for me. His rules totally support what nudism is about and rejects the crap. Thanks for keeping your standards high!
JohnWS and Mike,
You're not members of the group yet. I need you both to "Join Group" so I can make you both members. Currently, the only way you can participate is by replying to a post I make because we are "friends."
Please join this group. Love to have you both here.
Andy
Thanks for nice words John, John and Mike, it means a lot.
It can be a constant uphill battle with trying to keep these groups "True." A free site is one thing but it doesn't keep out the internet trolls, the nudist fakes or the pervs. They only recourse we have are these groups where we can decide for ourselves who we truly think is here for the right reasons and are real and true nudists.
I'll continue doing my best in trying to keep all the groups I Moderate, as true and real as I possibly can. Thanks for your support.

You can't do it from this thread. You have to go to Groups, search for the group, then join it from there. One of the frustrating things about this site, I can see the group discussions from the feed (of those people I am friends with), but it doesn't link back to the actual group the discussion is taking place in. As I am not a coffee drinker (something that amazes people when they find out I was in the military for 20+ years), I will most likely not be joining this particular group.

I totally agree with you. My groups are private and I also have to approve who joins. To date I have not had one problem with anyone who has joined. I have on occasion gone through the group members and had to remove a few, who after being approved change their profile to private or for friends only. But 99% like the fact that group members are in fact true nudists, at least as far as I can determine by their profiles. All your groups are in the same category, just trying to run groups for actual nudists. Thank you]
Well, Andy, I have again navigated the murky waters of group membership after the site change. Thanks for being patient with me.
Also thanks again to John aka cobeachbum for help with said navigation!
Although my wife and I (I'm a nudist she is not) both enjoy our morning coffee, that is usually all we drink. At one time, I had no problem with caffeine but of late, I can easily become over-caffeinated and she has always had that problem.
Our coffee is home-brewed, cold-brewed. We were given some commercial cold-brew and really liked it so we discovered how to make it ourselves. It is GOOD stuff,
