A.S.S.

What happened to the group?

It caught a minor case of the deaths. Sorry I was a bit tired and forgot the weekly sacrifice for umbrella. Shoulda known that something bad would happen.

A.S.S isn't dead. Someone made the group hidden, then all of the active members, all 2 of em,
changed their names via html to resemble umbrella personnel. The question is, why would they
feel the need to do this? If they're adamant about keeping the group, then it should be left up
and they should fight for it, instead of trying to use subterfuge to do so, cause. You know, hiding
a group from other admins is kind of impossible to do.

Hmmm... they obviously didn't think it through.

Maybe they didn't do it. Perhaps some other Admin did.

Only an administrator could have done it, syn. You're right bout that, but which one?

Maybe Pest was just trying to help. I fail to see the harm in doing this anyway.

Agreed. But now we have a mystery to solve....

Then let me enlighten you. Instead of trying to justify the reason for the group to exist during
debates, they try to sweep everything under the rug. They hide the group and then get all of
the members to change their name color to make everyone think that they've been made a
member of another group. In essence, they're flat out lying to everyone.

If they went this far just to hide a group from people, then who's to say what else they'll try
to hide next. Trust is important in just about everything, and if you don't have that, then
everything falls apart.

You make a valid point about trust. But maybe it wasn't them. Maybe they were framed by someone, thinking their group was deleted when they were none the wiser. Or maybe they knew you could see the group, and they just were trying to appease the masses desperately calling for less groups. There certainly was alot of hatred spread about groups. I know I tried to hide the RS usergroup til I realized I didn't care what the masses thought.

Zoinks! Perhaps this dilemma isn't the conspiracy we think it is, eh scoobs? And when did I learn such big words!? ANOTHER mystery to solve!

Dude, I've said it multiple times. If a group is hidden, they are not colored. You automatically default to the next color in the block.

Look below, the group is visible, and all its members are pepto pink again. Not HTML, its the site code.

1. I didn't touch it. I didn't make the A.S.S. group, I didn't want to screw with it. I took it out of its hiding because Birk's post seems directed at me and I had to prove a point.

2. If a group is not visible on the forums, it acts like it does not exist. I don't know why, but it does. You do not keep the color of a hidden group, you default to the next group. If the admin group was hidden, all the admins would turn green because it is the next group in the stack.

Example: I made the Admin group hidden. Notice how noone's golden anymore.

3. I am going to use Awe because he is visible, as the mod of the A.S.S.

Current memberships : A.S.S *, Runescape, Snuggles, Umbrella Personel.

That means, if A.S.S. goes into hiding, he goes to the next color. The Snuggles group makes him mod of the A.S.S. section, and has no number, plus its hidden. Runescape is set to 8. Umbrella Personnel is set to 7. He defaulted to 7, Umbrella Personnel.

Then how come some A.S.S members were colored Cyan in their names and
the other was pink? Does color really matter? It doesn't change the fact that
the group was hidden in an attempt to try and make people think that it was
deleted.

Oh and one other thing, my comments weren't directed at you, Pest. If you
felt that way, I apologize, but my words weren't specifically directed at anyone,
they were to prove a point. Which still stands: Someone hid the group and lied
about it's fate, and tried to be sneaky about it.

Birk, the group has 3 admins in it. Also, group leaders can change the visibility of the group they own. All they have to do is go to the group, and update one little check box.

So....Snuggles?

It's true. Like I said, I made the Runescape group hidden as well when everyone was having problems with the groups.

You came to the right conclusion without me having to tell you! yay!

Yes, snuggles did change the group status to hidden. as group mod, he has that power.
