25 is Such a Lonely Number

Once again, I’ve reached my limit on groups. It’s a rather perpetual problem for me now. Someone creates, requests I join, or I want to join a group and another group has to go on the chopping block. How I hate to whack a group. I suppose there has to be some limits at some point otherwise I’d end up being in about 100 groups. But 25 seems too small. Maybe 50, at least until I’m up to 50….

At least there is The Fashion Consolidated Group. It’s been a real lifesaver of groups and lists. Still, I’m in a few other clothing designers groups, mostly to get freebies and other news that’s not getting posted to FashCon. If you are short or out of groups, and you want to get Fashion Announcements, you need to join this group.

Last gripe is the alert… “So and So has left the discussion.” Do I really need to know this? Do I need to have a ping and a pop up on a new group to let me know this? Is this some sort of self replicating feed back loop Linden Labs has setup? I love how I can be logged in for an hour and a new group will popup an IM with only that message. I just love it for its pure annoyance factor. Anyone know how this can be turned off?

    Veyron,

    I’ve often wondered about this too.

    I’d even pay for an extra 25 groups!

    Those are excellent points you address.

    And I have often wondered about that “So and so has left the discussion” message, as well - such as, how or why it does that, and more importantly, do people ever receive those messages from me?? Ack!
