Hi everyone. There are a couple of social groups I've seen that I am really interested in and they're appropriate for my situation but they are invite only. I assumed they might be so in case someone who doesn't belong there tries to join and also to protect members' privacy around sensitive topics. But my question is: is there any sort of application process for these invite only groups? Or are they private member-created groups with just the friends of the member who created them? I'm still relatively new to this site and these forums, so an explanation will help. Thank you!

Nope, no member application process. Basically, you just PM the social group leader of the social group you want to join, and express your interest and perhaps a little bit about why you want to join their group.

If the social group is active, the member will PM you back and accept your invite. If they don't, they'll provide a reason for not doing so (maybe it's a special group setup just for their friends or something, but that would be rare).
