Brief history
Sapphire was officially established in 2011, but members of the group began to band together as early as 2010. Early members of the group turned towards communicating via Skype because it was the best form of the group knew of at the time. The group began to grow throughout 2012 and eventually realized that Skype's services have poor quality and lack utilities that were needed by Sapphire. Some members would often not join Skype calls.
In the summer of 2012, t3sla proposed the idea of transitioning to the RaidCall to the rest of the Administrators, and it was fulfilled. RaidCall was an upcoming communication program that had seemingly promising features. Since t3sla proposed the idea, it was decided that he should create the first RaidCall channel, sapphiredev, and serve as the Server Admin.
After a short while, Slar complained that t3sla abused his powers too much. As a result, he defected and started his own channel called Dirty Sapphire. The group came to the unanimous decision to join his channel. Although Slar promised better conditions, the group suffered even worse power abuse and corrupted administration here. It was during these times that members of the group were beefing with each other nearly every day. The overall atmosphere of the voice chat was agitated and irritated. The general consensus was that the group needed an even better voice communication program.
Bryan had always been the de facto leader of the group, but he decided to solidify his position by renting a TeamSpeak server. TeamSpeak had the perfect utilities to keep the community in check. At this time, Bryan rebranded Sapphire's ranks as the "Primary Ranking System". The system functioned the same as Sapphire's old ranks, except it made Bryan Chief Administrator, a position which includes Voice Server Admin responsibilities.
Bryan initially thought that the Primary Ranking System should be applied to TeamSpeak entirely accurately. He made the mistake of giving every Administrator on the Board the same power as himself on TeamSpeak. This spiraled into a massive disaster where Jimmy took over the server and defaced it. Bryan later corrected the issue by making separate ranks specifically for TeamSpeak (the TeamSpeak Ranking System), which were still somewhat correspondent to the Primary Ranking System.

Normal |
This group should be assigned to anyone that is officially considered a member of Sapphire and does not hold a rank described above. Members of this group have the ability to poke, talk in all chat, and create semi-permanent rooms. They can also join Special rooms. |
Every member of Sapphire that does not hold a rank described above is entitled to the Normal group. |
|
DirtyChinx |
A special group that is not incorporated into Sapphire whose members are "very important Guests" (higher than SuperGuest). They were first introduced as friends of Funky and Mike; they have their own special channel. The DirtyChinx are associates of Sapphire. |

|
SuperGuest |
Individuals that are not meant to be the Normal rank (yet), with slightly more permissions than Guests. |

Guest |
The default group for all new users that joins the TeamSpeak server. Has no icon. |
Anyone that joins the server for the first time or anyone that hasn't received/earned a rank |

Anyone from TitanClan (except Pandemic) and anyone deserving to receive this punishment |
