Fall of the GKTF

The Fall of the GKTF was a series of days that led to the kicking clans self destruction in late December 2011.

Prelude
Prior to the GKTF commencing an all out attack on several groups and cutting loose the United Kicking Union had come to an agreement that the clans within the association didn't need to be too rash with secrecy and could be more laid back in attacks, Cyber Demon was not aware that this attitude had actually been taken by his kickers.

The IP-banning
Group Kickers of the 7th Battle Group had just kicked an entire group and were taunting the members who were rejoining, the reason for this is unknown but the GKTF were fine until such time, within a few hours staff followed the chat links and caught the GKTF off-guard banning 58 of the 77 members on Group Kicking grounds including Destroyers and high-up leaders.

Aftermath
Surviving GKTF members either left Palringo or formed part of the Head Hunters or Black Hats attempting to create a ressurgence in group kicking, the result was the Head Hunters who went on to top 14,000 users kicked, breaking the record set by the GKTF in 2011, 12,764.

Palringo adopted the Guardian bot and Full Admin control to further protect groups.
