Because the group format was just god awful to look at for extended periods of time before.

Is there any way to possibly add a forum section for large groups like clans (or guilds) for more mainstream things like gaming, writing and literature, improving writing skill, music, videos, and all that jazz? I think that would be a pretty baller addition down the road.

Er, or maybe Mahz could just make a better (ie not shitty) group system to use for such things? Clans and whatnot are basically the same things as groups, and the name "group" is better for a broader use, so probably best to keep it that way.

In the meantime, Off-Topic or Member's Lounge should work for making threads about whatever non-RP stuff for people to come and talk about. The Member's Lounge is basically meant for hanging out and socializing, so that's probably the better place for such things.

I know it's not the same, but I got bored and made a thread for yellow shaded users (see sig). :)

I'm unmellow yellow, which I like as it also relates to a character from Death Note, one of my favourite anime. I wonder how many colours there are?
