I don't know what that means. Is it like "going to ludicrous speed"?

I will be accepting applications for Popeye_Card's_Pack--also known as the PCP.

I figured you would go by "The Blue Font All-Stars".

I would also like to edit my gang name to the Popeye_Card_Posse.

Edit: There also needs to be a SABR Tooth Cats gang to combat Big Red Number 8's Big Red Machine.

Usergroups are created by admins and phpbb2 already has them (look up next to member list). They just improved it's functionality. :wink:
