You can be in multiple groups, assuming the group's creator/admin allows you to participate (some groups may be "closed" or "approval only")
For example, as a joke there is a "Cool Group" on there right now ... you apply to get into the group, but you have to be approved by liquidat0r to get in.[/color]
Am I the only one that sees this as a bad idea? This Forum as obvious clusters of friends, and enemies. Bf2s is an open community, and in anything ever done, debates, contests, mods, etc. It was always open to anyone. With this, the little cliques can seperate the people they aren't direct forum buddies with. Debate & serious talk will probably take a massive hit. Don't like someone's post? Just move into your own group, and not allow anyone who disagrees with you in the group.

This is actually a point that will need to be touched on -- the forums are going to be ... disappointing ... compared to here. For starters, Drupal's built in forum solution is pretty mediocre. I've managed to spiff it up a bit, but not just to get it functionally right. Combine that fact with the other fact that I have hacked the living daylights out of Pun for this site, and there's a noticeable gap.
So we're "moving forward" to Dissapointing forums? Maybe im just pessimistic, but I really really don't see why it's necissary to end what already works. BF2s is the forums IMO. The forums being of lesser quality, but new features really doesn't seem worth it to me. You can put all the fancy trinkets on a pile of poop, it's still a pile of poop. Sorry, I don't mean to piss anyone off here, but that's just the way it looks to me.
Just because BF2 is aging, why does the name "BF2s" have to have this supposed time limit? It shows origon if anything. The source that started it all. Homage. Plus, BF2s is faaar from dying out. BF2s was pretty much the only forum I visited. Ever.
Then again, it's just a web forum. I just hope Trackr is Chuy's pet, and not part of EA/DICE. If EA/DICE are involved.... *cough* BF2 patches *cough*
But, the decision obviously has been made. This community has been infinitely helpful with any questions I had, and the members have posted millions on neat, funny, wierd, odd, informative things, but I don't think I'll have much to do with the new site. Maybe I will, but right now, i'm shopping around for a new home forum.
Good luck everyone. NO hard feelings
