Administrators are people assigned the highest level of control over the entire board. These people can control all facets of board operation which includes setting permissions, banning users, creating usergroups or moderators, etc. They also have full moderator capabilities in all the forums.

The administrator of this board is Janick Bergeron and he can bereached via email here.

Moderators are individuals (or groups of individuals) whose job it is to look after the running of the forums from day to day. They have the power to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, delete and split topics in the forum they moderate. Generally moderators are there to prevent people going off-topic or posting abusive or offensive material.

Usergroups are a way in which board administrators can group users. Each user can belong to several groups (this differs from most other boards) and each group can be assigned individual access rights. This makes it easy for administrators to set up several users as moderators of a forum, or to give them access to a private forum, etc.

To join a usergroup, click the "usergroup" link on the page header. You can then view all usergroups. Not all groups are open access. Some are closed and some may even have hidden memberships. If the usergroup is open, then you can request to join it by clicking the appropriate button. The user group moderator will need to approve your request,. They may ask why you want to join the group. Please do not pester a group moderator if they turn your request down as they will have their reasons.

Usergroups are initially created by the board admin. They also assign a board moderator. If you are interested in creating a usergroup then your first point of contact should be the admin, try dropping them a private message.
