Stinky The Clown

The Pets Group has a host. Now it needs more. Please consider being a host, too.

Skinner today informed me that we have a host. Me.

Here's the way this works. I can operate alone as host or I can appoint more hosts. I'd feel lots better doing the latter. Small group hosts have different powers than big forum hosts. We can lock threads. We can pin unpin threads, make pinned threads open or read only, and we can block members from the group, temporarily or permanently. The top host (only) can appoint and remove other hosts in the group.

There may be more. I need to read up on that.

For now, I am hoping that **at least** two more of us will sign up as hosts.

.. and I'd be willing, just don't know if being such a "newbie" I'd qualify.

I want to join the group but am already hosting one group and one forum and that seems to be enough on my plate.

Enjoy the super powers. I'm not interesting in co-hosting at this time, just wanted to say "hey".

Sometimes I can be around more regular hours as well. Whatever you decide is ok with me.
