If you have the groups for ontopic discussions (and not for general community use with offtopic groups), then you need to keep all the content (discussions) in one place. With this mod, we have the groups' forums inside our forums list. With 3.8, discussions are only found inside each group.

As I currently don't know how they will exactly handle the threads, I cannot promise anything. But I think they will do it like with the blog.

Social Groups may create a Social Forum to add functionality to their Group. You must have at least (x) members, and at least (X) posts in your Social Group in order to create a Social Forum for your Group.

Nice idea, but let's see how 3.8 will interfere with this mod. If there are after 3.8 enough users that want to see this continued, I will probably do a v2.0
