New Usergroups and Boards
Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2008 9:46 am
First off I would like to apologize to everyone for slacking on the administration of this board for so long. I know I have not updated permissions or forum management in a very long time. That being said I have felt for some time I have needed to update these issues and try to make the boards and access to the boards relevant once again to our community. We are defining the community using two user groups with varying access to boards. Active members will be the AoC and Warhammer group and Retired members will be voted on by the membership -
Bloodwinter Clan Active Member - Access to all private boards but the Toilet Bowl (Forum and Site Administration board) and The Vault (Outdated Officer Content)
Active members will now see a 2 hidden general boards and a gaming board.
Retired Core Members - This group has been granted access to the DoG board by being privileged with the tag "retired BWCer"
Retired BWCers will have access to our private board The Den of Gimps.
There is also a new board which atm functions only as a vault for our old officer content that the Den of Gimps used to house. Much like the Admin board (The Toilet Bowl) only Barbos and I can view it atm. We could show you the content but we would have to kill you and who really wants that? It was killing me not using the DoG as it is one of my favorite board names. Couple that with most of the forum population not competing in MMO's anymore I believe the name fits perfectly with the retired gamers. I believe the new format will reward active participation in games without drilling the "old schoolers" in the ass or penalizing them. To put it simply there are members of this board we love having around that have not gamed with us in a long time and we want to house a private forum for their use. Any suggestions are appreciated and theres a very good chance I may have over looked members that belong to either group. If you feel this is the case with you feel free to explain yourself in the membership and access request board. Thanks -
