I know that this issue has been mentioned several times before but we've gone through a few updates to .NEXT now and there is still a limit of only 10 groups that you can be in at one time.
I know that Bungie has added the ability to Follow groups but that is counter intuitive to the idea of Private Groups in general. If I follow a group I am only able to see threads that they make public and am not given access to the forum. This is done purposefully because the point of a group is to limit who can and can't see your conversations. So if the group you follow doesn't make all threads Public it is essentially useless to follow it.
I myself am a member of 2 groups that aren't active anymore but that contain a lot of threads that are very interesting/funny that I don't want to lose access to by switching to Follow. So now I find myself in a situation where I want to join a new group but can't because I am stuck in this limit which really makes no sense.
I don't know much about website design but it seems to me like this would be something very easy to change, it also seems that most if not all members want the limit removed. I know that Bungie is making a push for a more "social" kind of website (Whether I like that or not isn't what this topic is about) but forcing that onto a system, private groups, that that style doesn't fit well with is really hindering the community experience here on Bungie.net.
TLDR: Remove the private group limit of 10.

I'm gonna go ahead and bump this because I made it a month ago and I still have the exact same opinion.
