"You must be a premium member to create a group. Basic memberships cannot create groups."
You could probably make one or more groups while on one of the free trials, assign a pal as an admin / super-admin, and when your trial's over, trust your pal to run the group(s) along the lines you'd like. Or just get a pal who is a premium member to setup a group for you and be (hopefully) a reasonably silent partner.
