You're probably sick of my suggestions by now (even though one of them was used and the other is [hopefully] being considered), but it may be beneficial for you to add a usergroup legend. It can easily be done manually (I use the term "manually" lightly; there isn't much work) without use of a plugin.

A usergroup legend is a key similar to a map. On maps, there are symbols, and in a legend, those symbols are explained. The same can be done for the usergroups here.

At the bottom of the site, where the members online list is shown, you can add a color-coded legend of each usergroup.

It would look something like this:

Management -

RG Elite -
redhwn.png
Sponsor -
SpiritShield.png
Super Mod - Moderator - Registered - Limited - Banned

Of course, the order is up to you.

You know there is Forum Team for a reason.

Well it's pretty self explanatory.

It would look good at the bottom of the page, yes. The Forum Team does work just as well, though. Either way, I don't see it as harmful if it were to be added. Just not necessary.

I hadn't even thought of the forum team link. Nonetheless, the Forum Team link isn't very noticeable, and having a usergroup legend will help people migrate from other forums and other forum softwares. You want your members to instantly feel comfortable, and a rainbow of names doesn't make them feel that way. I know this from my own experience with forums and my own experience with this forum. Things felt a bit chaotic upon joining.

Most people wouldn't instantly make the connection of a usergroup legend and the Forum Team page. It is obviously a good idea to look at it, but myself and many others probably didn't think to. Regardless, the Forum Team page doesn't explain registered members (obvious), banned members (somewhat obvious; people new to forums will still be a bit confused), and limited members.

Well, I've got two views.

1 - It's not really needed

2- It wouldn't hurt
