Babydoll outfit now in PINK!" because let's face facts...most of us simply don't care that you have just displayed a new product of low interest. Sorry, but if designers dont start displaying better marketing sense and consumerism savvy, I'll be dropping this consolidated semi-spam service soon and developing my own SpamCon service.

I recognise it's not for everyone, and it's entirely a different thing to a blog, meant to fill a different need. It's my job to try to make this group usable to the majority and useful. so if it isn't it's my fault! I'd really value people IMing me in-world with feedback. E.g.: Is the announcement/notice content at about the right volume? Are group IMs the problem? IMs have tended to be short bursts compared to similar groups, but yes, inevitably there's a flutter of chat sometimes when someone releases something chic. I can certainly tweak the volume of notices - vendors have been delightfully nice about understanding the problem and that I may have to tweak limits per week if it gets too high! IMs I can try to control by subtler forms of diplomacy...! But I need to hit the right level for the majority, as some clearly want to ask about a new release, and others don't. Feedback in-world please! Finally, I'm thrilled to say that 90 designers have asked to be on the group, and I would love recommendations of your favourite designers I missed please! Inevitably some didn't contact me - too busy, wanting to watch and see or not for them. But please do contact me in-world if anyone wants the full current list of designers (growing daily), or wants to suggest a new one. Or just mention it to them!

so i’m torn. most ppl have told me it’s a bit too much, but on the other hand, it’s a great way to keep informed. so i don’t know…

still wanna try it for a week and see, with the fashion show over now, i might have a bit of a different reaction…

I joined and three days later I left. I'm sorry but the spam is just too much and it's funny cause not even all of my favorite designers have joined and this thing is just starting so, if the spam is bad now to me it'll only get worse. I'd rather read this blog and check out the forums than keep having to close spam and notices. Great idea, but its not for me. I agree with Vanessa. I joined and three days later I left.
