User groups with live messaging

I'm meeting a lot of people around this forum and I'd love to add people who I'm sharing value with and getting value with into some sort of group.

For instance, a group around dropshipping. Users could share tips and ask for help live similar to how a telegram operates.

BHW could either only allow JR VIP to make these groups OR they could charge let's say $100-$300 a year for someone to form one of these groups.

Maybe even allow groups to have their own private sub-section and badge on the forums.

This could be a huge money maker for BHW and if you give users a live messaging platform it keeps more communication on the site, increasing the site's visitors and ultimately helping grow this community.

Other thoughts

1) Moderation of groups - this can be hard with live messaging. If someone is paying $100-$300 a year for this group it's in their best interest to keep it clean. It's be up to the group owner/staff to keep it clean.

2)Why would someone pay money to make a group.. What's in it for them? - Well if they get enough users in the group then they could promote there sales threads and other services. BHW staff would need to figure out a way to make groups profitable for both themselves and the members that purchase them similar to how JR VIP comes with a lot of value when we purchase.e

You can do PM groups with members, I´m in one and it has gotten us closer together.

Never realized this - definitely along that lines of what I was looking for. It'd still be cool to set up some type of group system though with an instant messaging platform and the other features I talked about.

Statistically forums are dying a little every year (BHW is one of the few that is pretty solid in terms of growth) but it could be great to add similar features that a social network has to appeal to people who like that form of communication.

So we already have this. All current "groups" or sub-fourms can be found here Forum list | BlackHatWorld
The dropshipping one can be found here.
Dropshipping & Wholesale Hookups | BlackHatWorld

Whilst these aren't live messaging, they are live threads and do update in real-time so effectively the same thing, but with the added benefit of structure.

If you want a smaller group then you can create private group chats as outlined here How to: invite others to a conversation | BlackHatWorld

All groups are moderated in the same way as threads.
Even better we do it all for free so no additional charge is required.
