I use this site regularly, and as far as I can say, the drama factor is completely non-existent at this point in time. All the drama is (thankfully) in the past, and the claims saying there's child porn are false. The current community who uses the groups, very small at the moment, is A LOT better than it was in the past.
Most sites that have inappropriate content are removed pretty quickly, and the admin checks in with the users a tad bit more often now.
Other than the 'groups drama' factor, it's a really unique site builder, considering you put the time into it.
My only complaints are, of course, the ads. Some of them might not be appropriate for a younger user, especially popups. The only real way to solve this is to use chrome or Safari, as they block the popups.
