The old concept was to send friends invitations if you wanted them to join a group on Facebook. It is only possible to automatically add friends to new groups on Facebook. The new Group page it links to offers little information about the new group concept on Facebook. When this group is archived, its wall posts, photos and discussion threads will move to the new groups format, but group members will need to be re-added.
Over the next few months, Facebook will be archiving all groups created using the old groups format. If you visit an old group page on Facebook you will see the following paragraph at the top. It is apparently only possible to invite friends into new Facebook groups. It is not really clear why they are not sending out invitations instead, which would give every friend the choice to either join the new group or ignore the invite to not join the group. Your friends will be automatically added to the new group, and it is up to them to either try and get out of the group again or participate in it. So, if you ever wanted to create a I'm the Greatest group and invite all your friends to it, then this is your chance to do just that. I'm not sure why Facebook thinks that giving friends the power to add you to any group out there is a good idea, but the feature is there and it is actively used.
One of the dumbest ideas ever on Facebook is that friends can automatically add you to groups.
