Private "invite only" Groups!

There are several private invite groups in which one is unable to communicate with unless you by chance know someone in the group. 
IDEA: It would be nice to have an option where one puts in their name to ask to be invited. It will be up to the private group to decide to invite or not.

  • If so, there should be an optional field for writing a note to the group administrator as well.

  • the flickr private groups system has something like this.

    it works fine.

    maybe the group admin could turn off the 'request invitation' feature if they really only wanted certain people in that group and didn't want to be bothered by rejecting requests. tho i doubt the number of requested invites would get high enough for that to become so troublesome.

  • I support this plan! In fact, when I've moused over some private groups, I've had alt text come up that says "Anyone can apply to this group" (or something similar, it's not actually a direct quote).  Perhaps it's in progress?
