CMG (Combine Member Group) was the old name used for non-government factions (called NFG - Non-Faction Group before that).
When switching to the Darkness web-client, the name Faction was used for all official groups.
Government factions were called CMGs as well, Togan.
All factions were CMGs. The system before had the RA, GE, Black Sun and... I think the BHA called Factions while all others were called Non-Faction Groups (NFG)
Bareck, where did you see the term? If it's somewhere on the site it needs replacing, since it's archaic terminology that should no longer be in use.
Of course, if you heard it from another member, some people are just slow to get their heads around change. *shakes his head* You'd think people who are on their computers this much would handle it better.

It isn't - and that would also at least double the time a faction check takes. But feel free to mention it to the faction webmaster and I am sure they will correct it when they have a moment.
