    Best I can tell, there is no requirement that you post a picture to join the group. So, all you voyeurs can join and poke fun at those of us with pictures knowing you are safe in your anonymity.

    [​IMG] Not really. I only approve people I know from here or the chatroom. So if you use some weird name on the group signup list and you get denied access, but are otherwise a regular here (mind, regular, not visiting once every few months) reapply with your name here or on the boards and explain who you are in the join msg.

    No you don't; you have a sparkling little gem where your face should be. :D

    Anyway, who would want to see *my* face in the gallery? :confused: I doubt that anyone would.

    OK, for those with a curious mind, I have added an album to the SP Photo Albums. Now you can see if I really look like my avatar. You can also see a picture of Serena Lynx and the rest of my family.

    For those that need the link and can't find it, here it is: http://groups.msn.com/SorcerersPlaceMemberPhotos/

    Baldak, I have a theory that you are a slightly loony person.
    Don't you have any normal photos?

    I have seen the SP photo album, but kinda unregisterd myself. I can't re-register with the same username, and if I re-register with a different name, Tal probably won't recognize me. No worries, I plan on changing my PDN soon (I'll make a thread about that in 24 hours), re-register to the SP photo album, but I probably won't put any photo's of myself on there. The shock would just be too great, when people realize I look nothing like my avatar; I don't have pointy ears, I have a different hair color, I don't have a scar across my face (hardly noticable on the avatar), and I don't have that cool mysterious look that my alter ego has.

    Yes, I am slightly looney. And I do have "normal" photos, but those are so ................. normal.

    [​IMG] Great pictures!

    The Master of Nuhn "potty shot" takes the cake! Well done MoN! Beating out Baldak was not easy, but you got it done.

    Does anyone know who set the group up? I would like to thank them. I may have received an email welcoming me to the group, but the email address that I gave (same one as here) is so deluged with spam that I rarely check it anymore.

    I hate that with the photo album you only get the newest albums, not the newest pictures. If I uploads a pic now no-one would see it because I am on the bottom of page 2 IIRC and that sucks. Also, I don't remember if I'm named Ivanji or Velve there, gotta check someday. Anyway, check out my album!

    I screwed it up. When i went to join, it asked for my Msn nickname and I stuffed it up, and now I can't get in!!!! This is really frustrating.

    Is there anyway to get in? I tried to change my MSN nickname to my group nickname, but it won't change, someone else using it...

    Bugger.

    Go to your msn home and click where it says "<Insert name here>" up the top with a smiley next to it. Then click it. Should come up with your profile. Then change it.

    I'm going to apply with my MSN nickname, Kaylym Murr. Hoping someone lets me in.

    I don't really look like my avatar, nor do I want to. I like the intensity and the pose, but that's about it.

    I do have a digital camera and hundreds of pictures on CD, but most of them are of the baby. She looks like me though, does that count? ;)
