Admins: if you've made a change to the group, or want to discuss a change before making it, just leave a comment here.

I've added a picture to the front page, as well as a quick description of the four categories.

Excellent, that pic is beautiful! I've also added some related groups.

Thanks, that's probably one of my favorite Silver Spoon pictures.

And there is a Filly 5 group that might go in the list of related groups. The founder is the founder of the Diamond Cutter group, and two of the five fillies in question of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

I'm not really sure if it's a significant enough group to include, though. It only has two members at the moment.

Indeed, I find the concept of the Filly 5 intriguing, but I'm not sure if it's one I subscribe to. :) I'd say leave it off for now, but if it picks up we can add it to the related groups.

Imma go ahead and add a "Mature" folder separate from the clop to the group, then.

If I can even do that.

My trouble with it is why make it the most used fillies anyway?. I mean, go with Dinky, Snips, Snails, and Twist, and you have a pretty good start on a side group of fillies and colts that don't get enough attention...

Quickly added a silver spoon icon to the group.

We have icons now? Awesome! I like that one. :)

Yeah, as of a few hours before me adding it. :twilightsmile:

And thanks, I like that one too! I actually cropped it out of this wallpaper.

Unstickied the banner thread because it's served its purpose for now. I don't hear anyone clamoring for a new banner :)

Fine by me, and I can always make another one if it comes to it...

As well as the recent banner update, I also stole took inspiration from the formatting of the front page of the Twist! group, which makes nice use of colors and stuff. I've added a few more Spoon related groups to the Related Groups, too. Feel free to suggest more.

Banner is now hosted on Fimfiction.

Thanks. I've been doing so friggin' many of these. I wish knighty had just imported them all in a batch job...

I updated the group icon from the 100 x 100 one to a pretty much identical 256 x 256 version.

Thought I'd try a different group icon.

It seems a bit small, so I may go with a different one or revert to the old one eventually. Still deciding.

Very cute. Can a larger version of that art be found anywhere?

hawthornbunny

Yes it can. I recognize Handsockz's style anywhere. ^^

Perfect! (And I recognize the style of a few artists, but often I'm unable to think of the name.)

Yep, I can recognize Handsockz's style anywhere, too, and it's always great.

That's definitely the copy I cropped and scaled down for the icon, in any case.

Just bumped iDeltaVelocity down from admin on a "hasn't logged in since January" basis.

THE SHIP IS SINKING

aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

but yes thank you that's a good call, I hadn't noticed

No problem, was thinking about it for other groups and happened to take a look at this one. I could potentially remove Elric on a similar basis, but I'm actually still in touch with him on facebook, so it feels a little less like he's not here to me, even if he hasn't logged in since May...

--arcum42

If he's not active on the site, he's not active on the site. He can't very well keep an eye on the rabble or keep the folders clean from facebook.

We probably will eventually, and he's already been removed as admin from more active groups. Narrowing the admin list down to just me and 6076749 is the point when I start thinking we need to recruit more admins, though, and that's work. :unsuresweetie:

We probably should start thinking of adding another admin, admittedly, and I should have rather more free time next week...

Much as I don't want to drop Elric, I think in the interests of tidiness and avoiding confusion, I'll do so. But with a sadface. 🙁

Alright. I'll let him know. Haven't really been that successful in getting him to come back, unfortunately.

I do feel like we should have a third admin in that case, at least, though. Preferably someone that really likes Silver Spoon, or at least Diamond Tiara. We could always talk to the Diamond Cutter admins, and see if one of them would be interested, unless you have any other people in mind...

I wouldn't mind looking after yet another group. Not an issue.

Just occurred to me that I never did demote Elric. I've demoted him, and to bring things a little more in line with the rest of fimfiction, promoted SweetAI Belle.

Approved. :3

They should just add a default "Assign SweetAI Belle as admin?" option when you create a new group...

arcum42
Group Admin

That would make things a bit easier. :scootangel:

Part of the way SweetAI ended up with so many groups was my making her an admin in most of the groups I was an admin in. Not to mention the crusade we had going to make sure all the Cutie Mark Crusader groups had active admins. Come to think of it, one of the two of you is probably in charge of the Apple Bloom group at this point...

Do you know how many groups I'd be a member of if that was done? :unsuresweetie:

6461045
Right. It's tough to keep track of which groups have missing founders sometimes...
