* '''BZFX.Admin''': The second highest group of BZFX. Contains administrators that have been on-board with BZFX for a long time and those who have shown an extraordinary commitment to BZFX.

* '''BZFX.Cop''': The mainstream group, but certainly not the least group. Our new cops go here until they have more experience with BZFX's ways. People who are valuable, but do not admin as much, may also go here.

BZFX is a game server network, with a commonality being that they use the same rules and administration. BZFX also runs several development projects and offers both paid and free hosting to others.

IRC Channel[edit]

The network maintains an IRC channel on the freenode IRC network #bzfx channel. This channel is used for most discussions about the network.

Administration[edit]

The network is owned and operated by A Meteorite and administered by a group of users. Individual administrators should be contacted for the resolution of issues they are involved in. If a resolution can not be reached, then a user should contact the owner.
