We use groups to help determine access to various closed categories, assign badges, and perform other administrative functions for this site.

You can see what groups you are a part of here: [https://forum.heroiclabs.com/g](https://forum.heroiclabs.com/g)

From this page, you may also view membership of some groups (depending on their visibility settings) and choose to leave certain groups you are a part of.
