A long, long time ago, when Christ was a road guard, I wrote my first blog post covering the formatting and styling of staff usergroups. Being so young it was incredibly prone to errors (and had more than a few). In lieu of the recent changes to usergroups over the past year or two I decided to post a revised list in honor of my goal with that post I made three years ago. I hope you bookmark it! :D
