A new member group, "Elite" has just been added to the user groups.

To become an elite member you must have gained 400 posts and stayed active enough over a period of time that Snaggle and me are happy with. And actively taken part in the forum events.

Elite privileges are as follows:

Pin and close own topics
Upload photo to profile
Access to private forum (which is only accessible by the elite members and admin’s.)
increased pm storage space
Avoid flood control
The power to vote for changes to the forum.
Can delete own posts
Add events to calender
Can use the email feature once every hour.
