I see where you're coming from. That was sort of my thinking going tags basically because each group doesn't have too many controllers, maybe 3 max each BUT users can belong to multiple groups and use different controllers lots so for the sake of url tidiness, I decided to use tags.
But I like what you said in your last statement
"but like i mentioned, is this ‘best practice’ ? probably not. But it works for what i am doing and makes sense to me for the most part."
This is a great way of thinking and one I should follow. The way I'm doing it works for me and my application. It makes sense and I can follow it easily.
Thanks for the info!
