Userbar

This suggestion is simple; it is that the userbar of a group should be somewhat clickable and link to the group's official thread.

Sorry this was short but I guess the shorter the better?
Good idea I never thought of this idea but yeah
Many group owners tend to have various group recruitment threads, and not just one informational thread. And Omniscient having to keep up with every single one is just more on his plate. So therefor it isn't clickable.

Omni wouldn't have to update it, the group owner would do it.

Most would, hence why every group has an informational group thread. Also could be made optional.
I don't understand why all threads in this section are counter argued against... Why can't people realise positives? Saves a lot of time...
Sounds like a good idea, Its better then trying to search for the group :P

There are alternative ways which you can use to make your HF experience better, other than implementing pointless features which could potentially slow down HF immensely because of the resources it will require.

Resources? It is just adding a simple href to the user bar. Please tell me you know http and how simple this is. It won't even take a full line of code-.-
Still want to see this happen! Would be a nice feature to add.
I believe some groups have more than one official thread. That would mean the group owners would have to contact Omni to get it changed.
I see no use in it. Use the search in the Group and Crew General Discussions section.

Ask D3xus to add official threads to the The Official Groups of Hack Forums [1 Year Strong] thread he made. Then you have a quick index of the groups.
You are more than welcome to create your own thread with links to all the different groups' threads if you really want this. I don't think it's needed quite honestly. I have never needed to find a group's thread by clicking on their userbar.
This could be made into a user script. Otherwise, it's pretty pointless. 😝
Groups create new threads every now and then (if not every recruitment). This would be a hassle for Omniscient.

As others have stated, a userscript could be made.
