    What are you doing today!? :D

    Regarding GoT, I wish I could say I hadn't seen any episodes, but I did see most of 1 episode way back near the beginning when one of my daughters was over at our house. Then she lent me the books, and I thought maybe reading them would be easier, until I started reading them. Turned out to not be a style of writing I enjoyed - I managed to read/skim through the first book, and part of the second, before I abandoned the whole thing...

    Looking for help with simple mods

    I don't know anything about modding and I'm tired of my RAAWR avatar's base grey/white. I'm just looking for simple changes like changing the hoof and ear colors. Any modders out there I'll pay a fair price for a quick job. I'm honestly not interested in spending another couple of hours fumbling around in an editor program.

     

    Also they should have like a classified section in the forums for this kind of stuff, or is there one and I'm unobservant? 

    There is Wanted under the Commerce section of the forum, which is like a classified section for things that people want or want to hire someone to do.  It's probably not obvious to look under Commerce for this, so that's probably why you didn't see it. 

    How does your avatar look today ?

    After yesterday's disappointment at losing my store. I went out and rented a parcel I can build the perfect store on, stay tuned. Here I am on the parcel just starting to figure it out.

    I was disappointed to read about you losing your store.  I look forward to seeing you new one once it's open :)

    I wouldn't consider this forum 'cliquey' - there are people who post more often than others, but they don't discourage others from posting, as I have seen in other forums online.  There are people who were new, but jumped in and started posting in the popular threads and now are among the people who post often.  Sometimes initial posts are a bit rocky, but I think that has to do with not being familiar with the history of, or the ongoing controversies among members of,  a particular topic.   After time, and reading a lot of posts, I've learned to look at some comments differently, because I've learned over time that a particular person comes off as gruff but means well and is very helpful, for example, or I recognize that the focus of a post has shifted from the OP's original issue to more of an issue between several individuals commenting on the post (and that they aren't addressing the OP at that point).

    I also tend to try to interpret things in the best perspective, unless I've seen a history of particular posts by someone that leads me to believe otherwise about that person.

    I spent the evening wandering around through the Renaissance Hunt and Faire.  Had a tarot card reading done over in the gypsy encampment area (not sure why the only sit option was for a meditation pose, but perhaps it helps with the right mindset for the reading).

    Wandered off the normal path into a strange garden:

    That still doesn't stop people taking over the group founders should still have the rights to take back their group.

    What I have understood as best practices when creating a group (after reading many tales of woe here about groups, and seeing the advice given by long-time members) is that when you create a group, assign your alt (or create and alt and than assign the alt) to the group as an owner.  This allows your alt to add you back as an owner if you accidently leave the group.  

    My understanding is that a member with abilities to add new members cannot assign the new member to a role with more abilities than the role the person doing the adding has.  So only someone in an owner role can add someone else as an owner, and if the only other owner is your alt, then no one else can take ownership from you.  As Alwin noted above, you have to consciously take action to leave a group owner role. 

    For everyone else, including business or domestic partners, add them as an officer role and assign the officer role all abilities.  You could even create a new role called "co-owner" or "partner" that has all abilities available in the group.  The only thing they won't be able to do is add someone else to the owner role, and that is for your protection as owner, and I cannot see any reason why they would need that ability.  

    If you leave a group as the owner, due to selling the group associated with a business that you are selling to someone else, that is a business decision you are making, it should not be done lightly, and once done should be considered final (as it currently is).   In this type of business transaction, it is correct that you shouldn't be able to take the group back.

    I used to hang out with the cool kids of the 90s, we walk to different places every day looking for a party or making our own adventures, our source of music used to be MTV, some cassettes with music we recorded from radio stations, and visiting the local music store that sometimes had a new album of some great band, radio and MTV was the source to keep updated with the latest cool music, we used to push the limit on alternative fashion, or anything that was very different from the norm, we tried to push boundaries with the little access to resources that we had, those were the times..

    Hehe.  That sounds like what my kids were doing in the 90s.

    Before having a computer in our house, I did a lot more book reading.  Things that I don't do now because I'm online (or just on the computer, even if not online) are pretty much the same things I didn't do then, because I would have been buried in a book.  Access to the internet as we know it today doesn't stand out for me as a milestone in terms of remembering when that occurred.  The things that stand out for me are getting DSL so someone could be on-line and we could still get phone calls (pre-cell days) and getting a 2nd computer for the house, and then broadband became available and we could have both computers online at the same time.

    There is no need for additional rights of a group founder over other owners of a group.  What I don't understand is why someone founding a group would make someone else (a non-alt) an owner of the group.  There is the Officers role which is pre-made in the group setup.  Additionally,  a group founder can make new roles and assign the new new role any group functions that they feel are necessary for the new role.

    got this shot on camera looking up the street, it was chilly briefly for those 2 minutes here near the coast in Oregon

    Wonderful picture!  Even in the picture, that white is so bright it almost hurts my eyes to look right at it.   How fortunate you were to get such a good picture. 

    We were not in the totality path, but even so, our fog (marine layer, as our weathermen call it) did not burn off until late afternoon.  It's hard to say whether it was darker than usual or not, but it was chillier than usual. Around 4:30 pm PST, we had a completely sunny blue sky - just in time for the evening marine layer to start heading back in :P.

    Even though it wasn't visible, when I was walking my kindergarten grandson home from school, he was telling me all about it - they even made little paper models in class where they could move the moon over the sun. He was pretty excited about learning about it.
