===[[Ackland Abattoir]]===
way back in the day, actually right near the beginning of the game, the [[Ackland Abattoir]] ravaged havercroft, and [[Ackland Mall Security]] with its attacks and tricks. being such a plight to the suburb itself way back when, countless scores of survivors, newbies, and now veteran players fell victim to their tactics. As of right now, this group has been disbanded for quite some time, and only has one remaining member who does not recruit, yet proudly keeps his group status on his profile the same. i remember seeing them shortly before/after the [[battle of the bear pit]]. i commune with this remaining member quite often actually, as it is nice to reminisce about the good old days. they terrorized our suburb for a long while, and i believe they deserve the due credit [[User:Nuerotoxic2213|Nuerotoxic2213]] 19:30, 4 September 2010 (BST)

===[[PTT]]===
 
It's been ages since I've seen any of the members active, and it's also been ages since I've seen them on the stats page.  The group was made up of a bunch of members on a Taiwanese bulletin board system under the same name of the group.  They came into existence in late 2006, and held strong until early 2007 (from what I know, at least).  Their base of operations was situated around [[Shearbank]].  They've reached over 200 in weeks, took a small part in [[Battle of Blackmore]], and were a major force in defending Shearbank from [[Shacknews]] after Shacknews came in and ravaged Blackmore.  If anything, they were probably the largest group whose players originated from Taiwan.  And believe me, their presence gave Malton a good feel of having a mixed-culture population, especially since the majority of the players in Urban Dead speaks English.

====Yes====
The East Becktown Defenders officially disbanded on [[EBD/Epitaph|May 1st, 2020]], which makes them eligible for Historical Group status.
#'''Yes''' - Those were good old days, all right, and these guys were a big help in many major sieges back then. If you ask me, Shearbank should have been renamed to China Town due to the large Chinese speaking population stationed there. ;) --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 16:28, 3 September 2010 (BST)
The EBD had been active since 2016, and included dozens of members, including both veterans and entire newbies. They maintained good relationships with survivor groups (including, but not limited to the DHPD, SoC, Knights Templar and the DEM) and zombie groups (specifically the Daubeney Resident Zombies next door, and of course our favourite frenemies in the RRF).
#'''Yes''' - The name rang a bell, but the wiki page brought it all back. Certainly deserve it.--{{User:Drawde/Sig}} 17:02, 3 September 2010 (BST)
Aside from regular survivor-style operations, they also brought a fun, no-pressure approach to the game, along with [[East_Becktown_Defenders/Tools|wiki-tools]] (like the automatic SitRep on their group page) and weird events (like the [[EBD_Stat_Party_2016|EBD StatParty]]).
#:Heh.  Remember when the SysOps of old thought the first few users trying to create the group page were adbots? xD --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 17:06, 3 September 2010 (BST)
The group decided not to fade away like many others, but officially disbanded after exactly 4 years of activity.

Voting Rules

The East Becktown Defenders officially disbanded on May 1st, 2020, which makes them eligible for Historical Group status. The EBD had been active since 2016, and included dozens of members, including both veterans and entire newbies. They maintained good relationships with survivor groups (including, but not limited to the DHPD, SoC, Knights Templar and the DEM) and zombie groups (specifically the Daubeney Resident Zombies next door, and of course our favourite frenemies in the RRF). Aside from regular survivor-style operations, they also brought a fun, no-pressure approach to the game, along with wiki-tools (like the automatic SitRep on their group page) and weird events (like the EBD StatParty). The group decided not to fade away like many others, but officially disbanded after exactly 4 years of activity.
