I'd also like to chime in that I hate the "sprout" system where they split the group into smaller groups when they get to an arbitrary size, as others have mentioned.
We live in a middle-class neighbourhood. It is desirable: there are big mansions by the river, several blocks of turn-of-the-century character homes, and then cookie cutter boxes from the 50's for the last couple of blocks. We live in a cookie-cutter box.
It was a wonderful community and then once it hit 1,000 people, they divided it into six smaller groups. Suddenly, we were in this tiny "sprout" with no activity.
A lot of the complaints that spurred the split was that there was too much kids stuff clogging people's news feeds. I don't know why they couldn't have just made a group for kid items and a group for the other stuff.
We ended up dropping out and it hasn't really affected us. Now we just leave stuff we don't want behind our garage (or on the boulevard for city-wide giveaway weekends on long weekends throughout the summer) and the stuff disappears in a few hours.
