The Official Guide on becoming a Group Owner

| Groups Publicly Up For Sale |
Lately, when browsing through this sub-forum. I have noticed that there are multiple threads/posts regarding Group Ownership.

So, here is the list of steps to becoming a Official HF Group Owner;

1) Upgrade your account to UB3R.
This requires becoming L33t first (here), once you have L33t and believe you are fit and your profile is worthy of becoming UB3R you can apply (here). If you get approved you'll have to pay the fee of $25.00 to then get upgraded by Omniscient.

2) Approved for Official Group Ownership.
Once you're a UB3R, your profile is looking good and you want to give a shot at getting approved to own a group then you have to PM the owner of Hack Forums, Omniscient. The PM should state whether or not you're approved for Group Ownership.

3) Finding a Official Group to buy.
Once you're UB3R, approved to own a group (By Omniscient) then you're very close to owning your own group. You need to find a owner that's willing to sell there group for the price you're intending to pay. You can find the group owners here; https://hackforums.net/showgroups.php the owners are usually the first leader. Send them a PM with detailed information such as "Proof of Approval, Payment Method, Price?"
If you don't know who the group owners are and what group they own, here is a list:

4) Making the purchase.
Once you've found a owner from the list above and tied up a deal you need to gather the funds you agreed on and pay him via the payment method you agreed on. Once he/she (Group Owner) has received the payment, they will PM the site owner, Omniscient. Stating that the transfer of their group ownership needs to be given to YOU.

Pricing & Extras:
Currently, $7,500.00 is the average price for a Official Group.
$250.00 for Transfer Fee (Once the ownership has been transferred to you and you have decided on a group topic/theme and gathered graphics. You will need to pay Omniscient to change these things which cost $250.00)
~$100.00 for Group Graphics (The average rate I've seen is around $100.00 when new groups are requesting graphics)

If there's anything wrong, needed to be changed and/or suggestions just let me know, hope this helps ✌
Thanks for the guide, due to this flawless method I have now become a group owner.

Looks like a great guide OP, only if I had 7,500 to drop on a group.

ps: could i get a vouch copy?
Only typo is "whether" but nice guide, thanks.
Rated 5/5.

Method works everytime and every group owner should vouch for it.
Pretty nice guide, hopefully it can answer peoples questions when they venture into this area.
No problem, if there is anything that should be changed or fixed, let me know 🙂
Instructions not clear enough.

Ended up trying to change Polymath, but then vacation banning for six months.
Vouch, thanks to this I am now a certified group owner.
This is very useful information, nice job OP. I'm still newish and I definitely did not know that's what was involved for owning a group. I think this deserves a sticky of all the information is correct. It will prevent (hopefully lol) anyone and everyone from posting about groups that's don't exist.

On a side not, is there ever a possibility of starting a brand new group? If so, what are the steps aside from these that have to be taken?
Might as well hyperlink the group owners and mention the group which they own.
No offence, but what was the point in this guide? just hunting for a sticky or what
