Hmmm so it would be better to run the check before executing any of the queries (I was planning on excluding those user groups from each query) instead of building the conditional into the query? I suppose I should go a step further and create a setting to allow admins to exclude certain user groups, what do you guys think?

My thinking was that since the subscribethread table doesn't have the usergroupid column, that I needed to call if from the user table. But I don't see why you went with user.userid = unsub_subscribethread.userid?

I'm pretty much stalling on this due to the fact that I just can't seem to wrap my head around the proper loop. I've done some reading and I've searched for examples, but nothing I have found seems to have "clicked" with my brain yet
