Ahhh....that explains it, because it's weird if a folder been made then...any way thanks for clearing that up - moderators here are so nimble we members are spoiled."
The secret is the 4:1 ratio of female mods to men. Having the token Y chromosome balances things while my double-X compatriots do all the heavy lifting. :)

Isn't that what I just said? :)

I know the subliminal message was that we are your work donkeys, you just tried to use your Jedi mind trick *shifty eyes*
Really I'm just happy that people know my name, this weekend a Doc I've known for 10 years asked my name and title in the middle of a difficult airway (granted I was wearing a face shield and mask but dude I basically grew up here)... and another nurse called me Muriel lol
Haha it's always kind of funny and kind of sad when that happens. I work in an office of 3 people. The bigwig is here two or three times a week and I've even delivered paperwork to his house on several occasions. Last week he said "your name is Niki.... right?" After 3 years, we have some progress.

This is a bad boss. How difficult is it to remember the name of the team?
Actually, I get absolutely mad about this superficial behavior. I am close to scream at the screen. Unacceptable!
I would offer a visit to the nice man Niki. Ready, set, go!

I'd rather the CEO didn't know my name...she makes it a point to meet every single one of her employees which means I had to travel an hour to headquarters for a 5 min sit-down meeting with her of just small talk...

That's pretty funny but not true.

To be honest, I think it's a senility thing. But your solidarity makes me very appreciative ^_^. I admit it threw me back a bit, lol.

Beyond expectations too!

lol these comments make me feel good now! He was pretty embarrassed when I said my name and said "oh, shit where have you been! I'm so sorry!" The one who called me Muriel is just an idiot
I've always had this happen to me at work, and it's become a joke at this point between me and my colleagues that it's because I'm so pale that I camouflage into the walls and have a forgettable face lmao.

Scott- I know it isn't true :) We all (except me probably because I'm too slow to set up folders lol) are super smart and ridiculously good looking

I've al..."
It still makes me mad. Being a decent human being does not require much effort!

Now I've been found out.

I see a Lawrence folder, but I believe that RS is set in a different world than Broken Empires..

As a side note, I just finished Skullsworn and it was an amazing ride. I miss the Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne and I was really tempted to re-read the series. Better said, I will re-read the series sooner rather than later! Anyone interested?


I am glad you are liking it though! I have not been thinking about it recently but I will add the series to my top 10 fantasy reads because of the intricacy and uniqueness of the world building. Impressive in my opinion!

I liked Skullsworn. The first half was really slow but the second half and especially last quarter was terrific.

You will get more of Adar in book 2, enjoy, an excellent trilogy.

It doesn't work. I've tried on PMing multiple people, half and quarter star ratings, subfolders for the forums, a better UI for managing forum folders.............

Some larger groups the mods have their own closed group just to talk about mod stuff. I guess it saves the main group having so much admin discussion.
The group is getting pretty large and maybe in the future we should do that... but really GR needs to pull up their panties and actually listen to suggestions for once. I guarantee every big group like this is having the same issues
Absolutely. The PMing multiple is something I thought they could fix fairly easily. Though, I'm no computer whiz. You can broadcast messages to your whole group, so why not PM a few people.
Where shall I go and create a mess for Kitty. Puts on my thinking cap. Will she find me out? Hahahahaha.
