[*][color=#000080]Profile Music - 3000 points [/color]
[LIST]
[*][color=#000080](Note that this has a chance to screw up your profile depending on your usergroup, and WILL disappear if you edit your About Me. Accidental removal will be fixed for free, but changing the music requires another full payment.)[/color][/*]

[color=#000080]* If you decide to join a group that someone else has already made, please make sure that you get their permission. Member group requests will be dealt with on the assumption that you have asked + received permission.[/color]
 
[color=#000080]Should be common sense, but no asking for a user group that has already been used for YCM event purposes (i.e. Monsters, Easter Egg Hunter, etc). Other requests will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.[/color]

Changes have been made to costs regarding Custom Member Groups.

 

Membership is just 1000/month while the Group Creation only lasts 3 months.

A note about changing the names of groups.

It'll be another 5K to completely change the name of your group (although discounted prices apply for smaller changes). So yeah, make sure you choose a name you like.

 

(Those of you who got it changed prior to this announcement won't get charged for it).

Also keep in mind that if you guys want to remain in that usergroup forever, there is an option for that.
