Default Group Buy?

I've noticed that there is not a group buy thread on the forum. I've seen this work really well on other forums. What are the chances of this coming to the Jk-Forum?

No chance at all. JK-Forum does not support or allow group buys.
Here is the FAQ: Are groupbuys allowed on this forum?

He meant promote "drama".

I just wonder what type of drama he's referring to. No big deal, though. I'll leave it at that. It's not my playground.

Vendors offer discounts when a group of people sign up to buy.

I believe group buys posed more issues than they were worth and, therefore, the admin chose not to allow them. Regardless, I think you will find that our sponsors do what they can to offer fair prices to our members.
