Over the almost eight years during BZPower we've grown and expanded in membership, features, and especially staff. As the staff has grown, new groups have been added as needed, which has resulted in some slightly confusing and inconsistent group names. In addition, the same colors were used and reused, making it difficult to quickly tell what staff group a member belongs to. But that's going to change now, and the staff groups and colors are going to be revamped for better organization.

In order to do this, however, the forums will have to be offline for a little bit while the changes are made. So please bear with us during the downtime.

Once the forums are back online, you will see an old feature return to BZPower. Below the active members list on the forum index, you will see a key explaining what colors correspond to which staff names.

Below you can see a table highlighting the changes being made.
