I have a similar, also different, idea in mind:
Usergroups can be created, managed and deleted. Usergroups can be created by the users(maybe limited by something similar to Activity now). Entering a Usergroup can be automatic or by approval of the Usergroup's founder. Usergroups have an avatar and a message wall, viewable by the members. The Usergroups a member is in are viewable in his Profile.

This sounds a lot like how reddit has subreddits. Is this closer to the idea you had in mind?
I was thinking more like contact groups in email, so I haven't really thought through whether we'd want a subreddit type system...

As I alluded to in my post-level permissions thread, one nice feature would be user-made usergroups. Basically, you can make a group and use it in place of a specific user in fields that would require a user, such as a PM.
You would probably give the group some kind of prefix so that it's clear that it was made by a user.
