I believe this is the millionth time I've deleted this announcement to start again.

I closed all the usergroups. There. Why? Because remember that we're trying to keep the groups updated and correct. Let me explain.

It gets me in a really sour mood when I go through the trouble of cleaning the groups out and then someone removes themselves from a group right under my nose so they can be a different color.

It gets me even more pissed off when an inactive person that doesn't roleplay at all is entered into one of the groups because they don't want to be colorless.

Okay, here's the deal.

THE PURPOSE OF A GROUP IS NOT TO MAKE YOU A PRETTY COLOR.

It's so you can see all the important news in your Clan's Daily Life. It's so that when someone PMs the entire usergroup that all the people roleplaying certain Clan characters receive the PM. It's so that when people view Group Information they can see all the active roleplayers in a certain Clan.

Do you get it?

I don't care if you don't like ThunderClan colors. I don't care if your name has always been black. I especially do not care if your text color on chat does not look good with WindClan colors.

If your RiverClan character dies and your next life is to be in SkyClan, you will be removed from the RiverClan group. If you have a character in both RiverClan and ShadowClan, you will be in both groups even if you want to be a black color. If your character dies and goes to StarClan, that character will never leave StarClan and you never will either.

So basically, by closing the groups people cannot submit to enter a Clan and a person cannot leave on their own accord. The group moderators and administrators still have power over the groups. If someone makes a creation and wants to be in WindClan, nothing is stopping them from joining WindClan because the group is closed. Got it? They'll just have to ask the group mod or an admin to add them. People who die in one of the Clans will be removed by the admin or whatever.

So that's basically it. There will be regular activity checks every 20th, like the one last time. If you don't make the check, you'll be removed from the group.

I think that's it. G'bye.
