This is more of a "fun" topic and my personal review of the 20+ special membergroups (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=14162.0) here based on number of members, not to be taken too seriously.
1. Teleported Troops (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=178480.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/teleported.png)
Activity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
These mid to high-ranking members have been migrating here since 2020 and have quickly become the largest in the process, with a noticeable second wave in 2024. Some are affiliated with Agency and Bounty Managers, or otherwise Verified, so are well connected overall. Others are even part of gangs elsewhere, so not to be under-estimated or disrespected.
2. Strike Squads (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=180760.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/3st.png)
Activity: ⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐
By 2019, 1 and 3 strikes became the largest gang on the forum, prior to being displaced by Teleported Troops a year later.They are often known for misbehaving, while most who make it to 2 strikes get to 3 eventually. As the second largest gang, they have strong affiliation with Shillers Sect, AI Army, having previously formed strong connections with Plagiarists Pack. Their natural adversary is the smaller but more influential Decentralized Dynamic.
3. Plagiarists Pack (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=115432.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/red1.png)
Activity: ⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐
Previously one of the most organised gangs of AltcoinsTalks in the pre-Decentralized Dynamic era. This gang largely grew from plagiarism cases in 2019 but now remain less active fortunately. Occasionally new members join, but often enough break from the pack in exchange for alts or points. They are currently known for their recent affiliation with AI Army, while others were previously involved in Strike Squads as well as Clone Clan, contributing to their success as a Top 5 gang.
4. Shillers Sect (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=314392.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/shiller.png)
Activity: ⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐
One of the latest gangs introduced late 2023. Despite their often moderated statuses, the gang quickly rose to the Top 5 in 2024 becoming one of the largest new badass gangs, while remaining relatively active. They have close connections with AI Army and Strike Squads, as users who often misbehave and disrupt the forum, and are regularly confronted by Decentralized Dynamic.
5. Cheaters Class (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=8863.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/possiblecheater.png)
Activity: ⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐
Another old gang from 2020, similar to the Strike Squads and the Plagiarists Pack, this crew quickly climbed the ranks to the Top 10. As the precursor gang for those applying to be troopers, they therefore have a strong affiliation with the Clone Clan, as the largest gang of the League of Suspicious Gangs.
6. Two Strikes Faction (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=180760.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/2st.png)
Activity: ⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐
As a fork of the 1 strike squad, half of these members who receive a strike find themselves in the Two Strikes Faction. Many make the natural transition to 3 strikes squad from this gang. They are otherwise generally found breaking forum rules hence strong affiliation with Misbehaving as well with the Plagiarists Pack.
7. Clone Clan (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=12876.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/clones2.png)
Activity: ⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐
For a clan unofficially led by a teleported d team member, this clan is pretty quiet despite attempts at recruitment. Most clones move on to create new accounts after being rumbled, only to end up cloning themselves again. These clones otherwise have a strong affiliation with Cheaters Class, and have otherwise been partially replaced by Dot of Doom.
8. AI Army (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=324053.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/ai.png)
Activity: ⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐
Latest gang from 2024 that quickly grew in strength and numbers to become a Top 10 gang by the end of the year. Closely associated with Plagiarist Pack, due to their artificially intelligent plagiarism, they are also affiliated with Strike Squads as well as organise with Shillers Sect.
9. The Monarchy (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=63.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/royal.png)
Activity: ⭐⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Led by the Monarch, Royalty are some of the most notable members of the forum and have strong affiliation with the Moderation Mob, Translation Team, and more recently Teleported Troops. Most have been around since 2017-2018 era and were at one point one of the largest gangs. Their support has earnt them the respect they deserve.
10. Team Trusted (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=8863.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/verified2.png)
Activity: ⭐⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
These members are mainly known in the bounty section for being officially verified, and are far from gang like. They instead affiliate with teleporters, agency as well as translators, while some are also part of KYC crew. Since 2018 they have been a well established tribe and well supported by most other gangs.
11. Patrons Pact (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=63.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/patrons.png)
Activity: ⭐⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Also known for their early contributions to the forum since 2017 and 2018, patrons are one of the smaller gangs that supports the forum. Often overshadowed by their counter-part The Monarchy, they are otherwise also affiliated with the mob of moderators and translators.
12. Moderation Mob (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=230.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/sheriff.png)
Activity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Generally known for moderating the forum, these gang members are not to be messed with, instead they have the powers to punish and moderate you. This mob was arguably the first gang on altcoinstalks and today remains one of the most active since 2017 as it continues to recruit new members.
13. Scammers Syndicate (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=34262.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/scam2.png)
Activity: ⭐ | Notability: ⭐ | Respect: ⭐
Another inactive gang from 2017-2018 era. Many left after being labeled as a scammer, as it made it more difficult to scam others. They are generally a pretty nasty gang who unsurprisingly will try and scam you. They don't have any other affiliations other than with Fishy members. Currently not recruiting new members.
14. Suspicious Sect (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=160639.msg1030754#msg1030754)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/sus.png)
Activity: ⭐ | Notability: ⭐ | Respect: ⭐
Little is known so far about this latest gang to form in the forum. It is assumed that "U Sus" stands for "You suspicious" and therefore is another division of the League of Suspicious Gangs. Affiliation is therefore assumed with the newer Trustless Tribe as well as the redundant Fishy Faction.
15. Girls Gang (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=117135.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/girls.png)
Activity: ⭐⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
While the girls gang remains one of the smaller gangs since it's inception in 2019, it's members remain active. These women are generally high ranking and have a strong affiliation with KYC crew as well as with the moderation mob. A small gang but expected to grow in the future.
16. Translation Team (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=10908.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/translator.png)
Activity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
While being one of the smaller gangs here, this team has contributed many translations since 2018. This team are still recruiting new members and can otherwise be found in the translation center. They have strong affiliation with other earlier gangs; moderators, patrons & royalty.
17. Penalty Platoon (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=115432.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/red2.png)
Activity: ⭐ | Notability: ⭐ | Respect: ⭐
A subdivision of the plagiarists pack, these are the most determined of them all. These penalized members have a strong affiliation with strike squads and are a rare breed usually discovered riddled with negative karma and other penalties as well as misbehaving.
18. Decentralized Dynamic (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=192825.0)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/dteam.png)
Activity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
As the first new gang of 2021, this network of users have strong affiliations with the Moderation Mob, Senators Syndicate as well as Teleported Troops, KYC Crew and Translation Team. Although a small team, they influence the memberships of other gangs as well as punishments and warnings, so not to be underestimated.
19. Senators Syndicate (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=329274.msg1745968#msg1745968)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/senator.png)
Activity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This syndicate are usually high ranking and includes Legendary, Mythicals and Padawans who have a strong affiliation with the moderation mob after recent the recent election for the Crypto Senate. For now they remain a very small gang, but a highly active one with reasonable power who make decisions for the future of the forum.
20. Fishy Faction (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=159575.msg877980#msg877980)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/fishy.png)
Activity: ⭐ | Notability: ⭐ | Respect: ⭐
Previously these users were suspected of being multi-accounts, now they are just plain fishy. Little is known about this small faction, other than it's a very small gang, one of the original gangs of 2018. This faction has become redundant in favor of the newer gangs within the League of Suspicious Gangs.
21. Agency Association (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=33325)
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/agency.png)
Activity: ⭐⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Similar to Team Trusted this gang operate from the bounties section, as part of the League of Verified Professionals. Far from gang like, these members are known for gaining support from all other gangs while being closely affiliated with Teleported Troops. While not the most active, they make up this with their respect.
22. Sheriffs Syndicate (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=329884.0)
(https://i.ibb.co/CW0sP72/highsherifs.png)
Activity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Notability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Respect: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Operating behind closed doors, this syndicate are simply not to be messed with. As one of the most powerful, they in fact determine many memberships of other gangs, only to be over-powered by an administrator or the president. They are the smallest gang but with strong Padawan affiliation.
