How do I get my nick one of those colors on locohacker?

To change your nick color, you first have to belong to one of the above groups (see below for details).

After you're in a group, go to your profile by clicking "Profile" at the top of most forum pages. Once on that page, scroll down almost to the bottom. Above the avatar control panel, you'll see "Select your default group color." You can pick your nick color according to the group.

Ok, how do I join a group then?

• Admins and Co-Admins - Admin positions are closed.
• Loco Bots - You're not a robot, you can't join this this group.
• Moderators - Moderator positions are usually always open and are selected by how much you contribute to the forum. If an admin thinks you would make a good moderator, you will be asked if you want to be one. If you agree, you'll be added to the moderator group where you'll then be able to make your nick purple.
• VIP Member - To join VIP, go to the groups list at the top of most forum pages by clicking "Usergroups." Once there, select "VIP Members" from the drop down menu and click "Subscribe." An email will then be sent to the admins and you will soon be added to that group.
• Super VIP Members - To join Super VIP, you must first be a member of VIP. Once you're a member of VIP, you can join Super VIP by the same method as above.
• Regular Members - If you're registered on the forum, you're already in this group.
• Spammer's - This is a user-run group. It's membership depends on whether the owner of this group wants to add you or not.
