How do I create a new Group?
Up to 2023, the groups existing on SimilarWorlds (apart from SW specific groups) have all been imported from EP, selected purely in the order of its previous EP membership size.
From 2023, it is possible for users to create their own Groups.
To create a new Group, find any "level 3 forum" (like, for example, People & Family > Pets > Dogs), and then press the link "Associated Groups".
If you are eligible to create a new group, you will find the Create New Group button.
Alternatively, you can select "Forums" located in the header, and then open "All Topics".
If you are eligible to create a new group, you will find the Create New Group button.
If you go through this route, you'll have to search for a Forum to put the group under (in the first field of the form). User Groups can only be created within Forums, and not directly under the broader hierarchical parents, Categories and Topics. Therefore, only Forums that can accept Groups will appear in the search results.

Please note:
- Only accounts older than 6 months can create new groups. There is also a minimum account reputation, to qualify.
- Non-VIP users can create up to 3 groups, currently.
- VIP users can create up to 10 groups, currently.
- Groups that are offensive, hateful, discriminative, revolting or disgusting, or containing name-calling or personal attacks are not allowed.
- Creating an inappropriate Group will risk you losing the ability to create new Groups in the future.
