I thought you were announcing your engagement in this thread.
Anyway, I don't understand this at all, but I'll volunteer if it's helpful.
For a name I suggest ...

Up to 4 definite, 2 maybes. That was way quicker than I thought.

I'd join, but I'm very picky.
I wouldn't join any club, that would have me as a member.

Why a user group? If you're trying to revive off topics and general discussion why not post in............. off topics and general discussion?

Because OT is moderated in a totally not fun way.
Maybe we should literally just create a sub group called Off Topics and make it private but open to anyone who feels like joining.

So please, enlighten us. What is a "fun way" of moderation?
And fun for whom? Because if you are talking about fun for the moderators then I have a plethora of suggestions.

I propose an amendment to OP, in that this new usergroup operates under the same rules as /b/ (the only rule being nothing illegal), and is open to any and all who wish to join.

Not a bad idea. I was hoping for it to be a bit less high school cliquey than PL, so that might work. You still towing the party line over there?
