I've been looking exactly for this kind of plugin for a project. I've installed both your version and the original version of this plugin, and still a normal member has the possibility to create a group. I'm using the latest version of BuddyPress. Could this be the reason? Hello Sarah.

Thanks for this. I"m surfing around to find an article on pros/cons of Buddypress with a single blog and not allowing people to create full-blown blogs/websites. The solution here is perfect for the secondary issue of groups and forums. I'm looking for people to be able to post to their page (group or profile) without having a full blown website. I know, it's not the idea behind MU, but is consistent with more user interaction within Buddypress. One of my major problems with ning sites is the clutter that comes from multiple unmaintained, poor quality posts/blogs. Having a full blown site without moderation makes this even worse. Any ideas out there for this? I know I could hack something up where groups and individuals get a "category" in the wp_posts table that only shows on their "pages" with limited access/posting rights, but I'm worried about the size/speed hit to the posts table. Of course if I allow blogs to everyone, that means dedicated server expense here I come. Happy Holidays. Thanks for this.
