A Few Adjustments To Forum Groups

[Viper3X 1056]

Hey guys, just a quick update.

-Coal VIP has received a new, darker grey color (it's very similar to the Total Tophat group color).
-Member has been changed from its ugly brown to Coal VIP's previous color.
-New User has been changed to the same color as the Member group.
-Old Hat has been changed to the same color as the Member group.
-Old Hat's prerequisites have been changed from a minimum of 500 posts to a minimum of a year and a half registered on the forums; in order to make this transition, I must move all current Old Hats to the Member group and then allow the forums to automatically move those that meet the prerequisites back into the Old Hat forum group. This may or may not work as intended.
-A new forum group has been introduced -- Old Fart! This one will be rarer than Old Hat, as you must be registered for two and half years to meet the prerequisites. The forum group color is the same as Member and Old Hat.
-Introduction of a Nether VIP rank. More on this will be revealed soon, but I will reveal that only one person will have access to this rank at a time.

Edit: A few new changes are listed below.

-Junior Technicians are now known as Coders.
-Senior Technicians are now known as Technicians

Why? There's a huge difference between the two, and we wanted to differentiate them further. Junior Technicians generally code side projects, and they don't have access to console, OP powers, or other moderator privileges. Senior Techs, on the other hand, have access to all of these things and they code major plugins for the server. They are entrusted with much more power. Thus, they are now known as (server) technicians.

Edit #2: New User renamed to New Member.

[Lathros 377]

Wait. My old hat is gone.

I PLEDGE MYSELF TO GETTING THIS 'NETHER VEE-I-PEE' BEFORE ANYONE ELSE.

[Fredfort (jens6851) 283]

Only one person??

That is truly interesting. I wonder what perks you get.

[Pinsir99 526]

AHA! THEY IMPLEMENTED SHIFT'S OLD FART IDEA! MY THREAD WORKED! :D

[Overland 349]

  I'm going to guess that the Nether VIP rank is the $1000 rank or something, but then again that wouldn't make sense if only one person can have it at a time. As for the rest, I'll probably finally be able to get Old Hat someday...

Nether VIP is for people who donate 1$.

 

Aether VIP is for High donations. :)

"Hay, y'know what we should do?" Says the admins

 

"what?" asks the community

 

"Remove Brilliant Breezer and total tophat to stop elitism!" says the admins, happily

 

"That's a good idea" says everyone

 

"want to know what to do now?" asks the admins

 

"what?" asks the community, confused 

 

"Let's add old fart which will create the same scenario as when Brilliant Breezer and total tophat were around!" yells the admins

[bungo 3965]

Can i be an old fart instead? !

It might have been a staff member that said it, it might not have been, but in truth "elitism" is not why we removed those groups. Those groups were mostly about spamming a lot, kinda like how Old Hat used to be before the change we just made to make it based on time rather than posts. Old Fart acts the same way where you have to be here for a time to get it. Elitism has nothing to do with it, lol.

Give me my crimson old hat title back.
