Retired Employees
Retired Employees was a group created in June 2013, made up of former staff members who strongly helped the site. Users in the group had an auburn brown color. The group was replaced by Royal Family in September 2013, but brought back on November 13, 2013 with the Royal Family user group being abolished. While Retired Employees had no moderation or administration powers on the forums, they had two special advantages: unlimited image space in signatures and as of June 2015, Staff Lounge access, where they could participate in discussions.
On February 2, 2024, the group was disbanded and most of the membership was merged with Loyal Customers, due to staff not seeing a purpose in the group anymore. Several members who were Retired Employees keep a "Retired Staff" sub-role on Discord as a nod.

Former Staff Not in Retired Employees
While rare, not every former staff member becomes a Retired Employee. This can either be due to lack of activity, the position they were in (former Representative Board members as an example), being banned, or their account is deleted.
