Can you tell when a group was formed?

[JulieAnne Rau]

I can't find a date of creation within several groups I am looking at.  They call "claim" to be the first group of this type to be created in SL and although there are very old dates of peopel in the group (all of the groups), that doesnt nessecarily mean that was when the group was formed.  So the question is... Can you tell when a group was formed?

Hi,

As far as I know there is no data of group creation available.

[Kolby Nissondorf]

I dont think you can tell..

[wrable Amat]

I thought you could from the general search in the groups ,right under the owner name.

You can ask the Founder.

One could look at Notecards or Objects made for and or by the Group. In the Properties of the Objects or Item will be dates.

 

:: Adding Founded on Dates in a Group's page should be considered by SL.

Credit should be given where credit is due.

objects are not a reliable means of detecting group dates... I can easily create objects with a creation date before  any of my accounts existed in SL.

I did not know that, ty. If honesty was as rampant as is deceit, life would be easier.

Trying to think of a cool date for a cube.

I'm saying I would, I'm saying it's possible... the easiest is jan 1 1970 (Unix stamp start date)

but you can also reuse other peoples prims, with older dates without any trickery... mega prims dates are probably the easiest and takes absolutely no expertise... linden prims work too... then deed to group.

Ask them to submit pix taken there. Either pix taken within Second Life or pix sent to computer. I don't know if the creation date can be faked, but you should be able to check properties and see.

You could go with the one with the earliest photo. Of course, if a sim had the first build but never takes pix they'd be out of luck. I'm banking on the assumption that most people who build or create also record what they rez.

many do, I'd hazard to say most do.... but most also save to hard drive, and not snapshots.
