Oh, Dirk. Love, love, love the picture; so cool. It doesn't get any darker or stormier than that. ;-}

We should get Sol to run that picture as a Flash contest while we're still in Gothic season. Just a thought

Most of the moderator requests have been done. I sent Dirk an email with two questions.

Re: Group Cleanup - Mopping Up - See List of Surviving Groups Inside

Hi Sol. We've cleaned up the group names, so here is the final list of what to keep:

TheNextBigWriter Basic
TheNextBigWriter Premium
New Authors
Romance Inc.
Historical Fiction
Thriller/Mystery/Suspense
Fantasy/Magic & Sci-fi
Young Adult & New Adult
Spirituality & Religion
Memoirs & Self-Discovery
A Dark & Stormy Night
Writing Tips & Site Help

There's also a hidden group we'd like to keep, which I think was called Science Fiction, Steam Punk, and Space Opera. I'm no longer sure of the name because I can't see it. It's Kdot's old sci-fi group.

I hope I remembered them all. :-)

All other groups can now be deleted. Please verify my spelling of the above group names before you blow everything else away. I did check the above list tonight, but it can't hurt to have someone else double-check.

Anyone with any final objections had better speak up now. Last chance!

Thanks, Sol.

Re: Group Cleanup - Mopping Up - See List of Surviving Groups Inside

Hi Sol. Your group purge missed a number of groups:

This is US - I asked everyone if anyone wanted this kept, and no one spoke up.

Fantasy/Magical Realism/Folklore - now part of Fantasy/Magic & Sci-Fi
Fantasy World Builders - now part of Fantasy/Magic & Sci-Fi
SCI-FI WRITERS - now part of Fantasy/Magic & Sci-Fi

Suspense / Romantic Suspense - new group, but the creator already left the site and closed her account. No other members or activity.
Experienced Writers of Literary Fiction - new group, but the creator already left the site and closed her account. No other members or activity.

Thanks
Dirk

All set. It was a bit tricky going through the list and deleting the right groups and being careful not to delete ones we wanted to keep. Hopefully, it looks okay now. Let me know.

It looks like I missed one to be deleted: Mysteries & Thrillers. We're keeping Jack's group (Thriller/Mystery/Suspense) since the latter is more active.
Everything else looks good.

Thanks
Dirk

Hi Sol. Just a quick reminder to please get rid of the group Mysteries & Thrillers.
Everyone should move over to Thriller/Mystery/Suspense instead.

Hi Sol. The group Mysteries & Thrillers still needs to be deleted. Thanks
