Everyone in groups should go take a look. This is what I spent the past couple hours working on.
So now the usergroup css is part of the forum name.
Took me a bit to get it perfect. Had to find an efficient way and overwrite some existing CSS that was giving me an issue.
I do hope you like the work. I think it looks great. Also this does open the possibility I can set custom CSS for other forum names. Example is I can make the Blackhat actually black and Greyhat grey. Could make site news Orange or Red maybe for example as something eye catching.
But for now this is just the usergroup css expanded into the forum names. This came to me today as an idea and I executed immediately.

HackForums Official X Account Unsuspended By [mention=1]
This week, Omniscient announced that his official X account (formerly Twitter) has finally been reinstated after a period of suspension. He believes the suspension may have been the result of actions taken by a disgruntled forum member. To help prevent future issues, Omniscient has since upgraded to a premium account in hopes of avoiding a similar issue in the future.

As part of Omniscient ongoing efforts to revamp the forum with a fresh theme and updated styling, he's currently experimenting with custom cursors. At the moment, you might notice a gradient green cursor being trialed.

This is Your Weekly Reminder That YOU MATTER!
Don't let anybody else say otherwise. Your life matters. Though we may face some very difficult challenges in life, don't let that discourage you from enjoying life and being yourself.
Always be you, and don't allow other people's negativity to affect you.
If you ever feel like you need to talk to anybody about anything, feel free to send a convo or PM to me, Pikachu and I will be there to listen to your story.
If you are struggling with anything in your life — whether it be depression, suicidal thoughts, acceptance, or anything along those lines — here are some resources you may use:

6,000–7,000 roles globally are going to be cut by Microsoft to fund their $80 billion in 2025 on AI infrastructure, including data centers, Copilot, Azure AI, and their OpenAI partnership. Cuts are not happening because of financial instability for this massive conglomerate. Executives are doubling down on their AI, and laying off employees who are not directly related to sales generating roles, coders, security, and core AI/infrastructure teams.

AI & Cognitive Impact
A new MIT Media Lab study found that students using ChatGPT showed the least brain engagement, lower critical thinking, poorer memory retention, and increasing dependence on copy-paste, a potential wake-up call about the “cognitive cost” of AI tools.
Building on prior pledges, the UK government plans to invest over £500 million in quantum tech over four years to strengthen national security and innovation.
T-Mobile, in partnership with SpaceX, will launch satellite-to-phone messaging on July 23, 2025. Users with 5G phones can send texts from remote or off-grid areas. Basic SMS, MMS and emergency alerts included. Sadly, calls and the internet are not supported at launch but are planned for the near future.
Due to abuse by the usual suspects I'm forced to add another feature to protect members from their persistent bad behavior.
If someone is on your ignore list, you cannot give them Popularity. This feature does require you to be upgraded. It does not remove an existing Popularity.
