Banned:
Too bad, that's it. These people are not allowed to access the forums due to their infractions. (List of users)
(Note: Some groups such as Local Moderator may look empty because SMF usually only shows group members of the group who have their primary group set to that group. Wack0 is a Local Moderator, but depending on your permissions, you may not be able to see him as one. The unviewable groups right now are caused by me making them unviewable in the group key on the index which is apparently also the groups only visible to members and guests. I'll see if there's a way to keep the index as is without having to go back to 19 member groups at the bottom of the page and have the groups viewable, but as for now, it's going to be like that.)
