Important information

I'm super busy for the next 24+ hours with my day job, so I may be a bit quiet for the next 36 hours.

It seems that the Yahtzee app removes people from families without any prompting. Perhaps that's why we lost Jetguy a while ago.

Kitty has had it happen to her at least once. It appears it happened quite recently to DiceMafia187chris. That's what his mother, Kathyjh24, tells me.

I didn't remove Chris, so I'm sure he'll be back as soon as he sees the invite. I sent him a note, letting him know I did not remove him. If he's upset enough to tell Kathy, who informed me of it, then I'm sure he will be eager to rejoin us. (Kathy has moved on, too. She's a pal with DARNDICE, and where DARNDICE goes, she goes too, evidently.)

I did remove two members the other day. Both Deeznutz and AKhuntergirl have been completely absent for more than a month, probably more than six weeks. So I removed them. They had been contributors in the past, so I gave them some benefit of the doubt. I also sent them a private message, letting them know if they return to active play and want back in our family, they're welcome, I'll do what I can to find them a spot. At the time I had requests to add three players, and no open spots. This was right before the DARNDICE group took their action elsewhere. I chuckle at the insanity of that at this point.

If you read this blog, you're likely an active player. So, if you ever find yourself out of the family all of a sudden, don't assume I simply removed you. I'll send you a note informing you that I did, just as I did for Deeznutz and AKhuntergirl. So, if you wind up like DiceMafia one day, check with me, let me know you lost your spot, because I have no idea who disappears when the member count goes from 50 to 49. I have to figure it out, and I don't keep a membership roster.

To that end, I'm making MysticShores a co-leader of our group, so in the event I find myself out of the group somehow, she can guide it until I return.

Also, read the blog post below if you want in the new contest. Deadline is sometime tonight. And yes, you're still welcome to participate, Chris, despite the fact you're somehow on the outside today. Who knows, maybe you've already accepted my invite back to the group as I finish typing this.
