is there a plugin to allow certain groups to make forums from the front and add members?
I never finished Social Groups for 1.8 because I've just been too busy. I have a lot of the code pushed to my
Github, but the updated templates aren't pushed to it. If you can read PHP and are ok with HTML, you might be able to work with it.
cool, where can i test it ?
I don't have a live board for it to be tested on. What I'd recommend is a new directory for making a test forum. Use a different Cookie Prefix and table prefix. Then install as normal and test it out.
