This module allows users to create private or public groups of users. Groups can be public and joinable or closed to new membership. Users can search groups by Category, Country or freetext tags. If the group allows new members then they can join the group. The group owner can send Private Messages to the group or invite groups to Events. This module was based loosely on the MySpace Groups implementation.

Please note that this version is for DotNetNuke 4.3.5+. This module can be seen in action on PokerDIY.com (Find live poker games and leagues).

You can download a free trial version for your own site here.
