As some of you may or may not have noticed, our Elite Mods' member names now show up as a different shade of blue. This is to differentiate them from the Admins' dark blue color scheme. Previously both were the same shade of blue, with the only difference being that the Admin's names were bolded. As this may have led to some confusion for new members, the color has been changed. The RPG Owner group has been edited for similar reasons, to differentiate it from the Ultimate Mod group. Also, as of now, this thread is the official thread to announce minor changes that may not really affect the board that much but still need to be announced in order to prevent rumors that this forum is secretly run by Romanov restorationists who are plotting to overthrow Russia's current government and place an easily-controllable puppet on the throne, then use him to take over the world

As for elite mods i too don't see much use for them they could be regular members but still retian modship over their designated forums. And as for who changed the colors of the user group names that was all HL's doing not mine. I was surprised when i first noticed that an RPG owner's name was suddenly orange instead of red, and the admin logs will prove this so take a look at them sometime SP. EDIT: The user groups Elite mod and RPG owner are no more, but fear not for users in those groups should still retain their mod powers over their designated forums.

Personally I don't mind that RPG Owners are gone, but I'd prefer Elite Mods (preferrably under just plain "Moderator," though, since "Elite Mod" is a tad too high-sounding for an individual forum) to be restored unless Hl says something. Still, I'll await his judgement and won't take any actions until he has given his opinion on the matter.

I don't really see why we need more Mod groups, either you're a mod or you aren't. (Orc Mod is something else, somebody's got to keep the mean green killing machines in check.)

But if you feel so strongly that they need their own group then by all means give them one SP. Though i think considering the number of members on this board having a group that basically is no different from the regular member group just for a few people is IMHO, highly unnecessary.

*Floral Assassin* Posts: 7,435 Group: Admin Member #95 Joined: May 24, 2006 Gender Male Innate Color Pink Zodiac Sign Aquarius	I suppose i could make the group and call it Moderators. Any objections? EDIT: The group has been made but i'll leave it up to either HL or SP to put the people in it.
