Since it isn't obvious, Iwould like toexplain theeffectthat leaving an Ning Network such as the Royal Courts of Second Life has on any groups thata memberhas created.

Whensomeone leaves an Ning Networkhe/she has two ways of doing it:

  • The first is from your Account page, Ning Networks, Leave option . As far as I can tell, using this method will automatically delete all of your content when you leave.
  • The second is documented here: How do I leave a Ning Network? and you have the option of whether or not to delete all of your content (default is delete all content).

In either case, if you leave an Ning Network and delete all of your content it means that any groups you have created will also be deleted.

If you would like to leave Royal Courts of Second Life but keepthe groups that you have created active for others to use when you are gone, it's a bit tricky but it can be done. In this case, please contact meBEFORE you leave and I will help to get the groups transferred over to other administrators.

I hope that this clears up any misunderstandings about deleting groups. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.

Tatiana

Thanks for the info! :) Though fortunately I do not wish to leave the Royal Courts of Second Life ning! I use it as a central hub to keep informed on wonderful events.

Ouch, Elizabeth!I think many of us has had that sick feeling when we see the unexpected results of something we did online and there is no "Undo" feature. Keeping it all in perspective (as I keep mumbling to myself) making mistakes with a social site like this certainly is very small in the grand scheme of things :))

A central hub is just what it is intended to be, Selina. I'm glad that you are finding it useful :))

As Tatiana said, this forum is a drama-free zone and we are impartial to events happening outside in the royal courts no matter their nature. It's best to handle disputes elsewhere...think of us as a neutral country;).
