**danceswithcats** has been nice enough to start a Yahoo group for the MAD contingent among us. The idea is to facilitate gatherings and keep in touch, and so forth, because MPSIMS moves so fast that threads get lost after a day or so. Anyone is, of course, welcome to join, regardless of geographic area. Interested parties may check us out [here](http://groups.yahoo.com/group/madopers/). [sub]Disclaimer: Permission to post this was sought from the MPSIMS mods and granted. Just so’s you know.[/sub] Robin ---

Minor modification-the mods will check your MAD credentials at the door, and may require the sponsorship of another MAD. A cold beer and other old-fashioned forms of bribery will always be acceptable. Some things never go out of style. 😃 ---

Heh. **dances** was just foolish enough to make me a mod over there. C’mon and ask to be a member so I can, yanno, be moddy. 😉 ---

Folks – if your email address doesn’t indicate what your Dopername is (or, close enough, anyway – mine is “twickster47,” for instance) – pls. put your username in the message section of your request. Merci! ---

Does this require a yahoo address? Cause I don’t need another damn email address these days–the four I have are more than enough. ---

Nope, no Yahoo address required. (Okay, did I need my mod hat for that? **frets** ) ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Nope, no Yahoo address required. > > (Okay, did I need my mod hat for that? **frets** ) Nah. No Mod Hat needed for friendly advice, or answering simple questions. Only when stepping out of the telephone booth in Jackbooted Nazi mode. 😉 ---

Where _are_ my jackboots, BTW? and is it acceptable to wear a sandaled equivalent in this weather? My Birkenstocks are pretty substantial… ---

Some prefer soft and strappy ones, others go for a more Doc Maarten appearance, so swing by a local Mods R Us store and avail yourself of whatever accessories complete your Modding wardrobe. 😉 ---
