back when i started at TRU (TraitsRus) most auctions and markets stood alone, i think i was one of the first auctioneers to do more than one sim by helping crazy german then Apache and so on , a few sims rolled into one sim to support each other as times got hard in the late summer , like it is about now , and worked together . Recently ive seen the Kittycat coop where sims help and join also , community is important but was way more important intially , as with all things as its grown the bickering has got worse and some seem to think they are better than others , which is wrong we are all different in our ways and we all go came into life the same as we go out ! , as for times if you join a sim and take a time the sim has already and then leave that time should remain with the sim , just as in if you take your times there you should be allowed to take it on with you should you part ways, my time is not being used by me so its used by the sim for someone else it does not belong to me otherwise we would have lots of empty auctions when auctioneers take breaks or leave again its communication agreement and respect . Tad has a good point but this has been done previously and its so hard when alot come and go so fast and alot dont have the group space to add such groups , good old fashion communication is all that is needed and lots of smilessssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Also Brunabug Nightfire does a amazing job of keeping the schedule upto date and contacting sims /auctioneers , for the love of kittycats nothing more she does not get paid for this service , this should also be remembered in considering changes
