The other thing is, fake IDs really bug me. Everyone has legitimate concerns about the safety of themselves and their property. I think it's a bad idea to post publicly, anywhere, either that you will be leaving your house empty or that you own very expensive, easily resalable property. Also, to post nude or suggestive photos. Whether you use a fake ID or not, it's all too easy for professional thieves and psychopaths to use this information. After all, your street address is probably readily available on the net.

And I can see why trolls adopt fake IDs when they post for the sole purpose of upsetting people.

But, I have never understood why so many people neither post their real names nor give any idea who they really are. I can't see how refusing to say who you are promotes community--quite the reverse. I am, by the way, aware that tons of people seem to disagree.

I mentioned my two FB Groups that I enjoy.

On LiveJournal, I've got too many feeds and blogs that I enjoy, but one that I 
think really helps feed the creative soul for costuming is DressDiaries
http://dressdiaries.livejournal.com/
It is open to anyone who wants to share how they created whatever costume or 
costume accessory they are working on. Most folks are cross posting from their 
own LJ or other blog, but it can be interesting and educational in seeing how 
folks create X, from historical to fantastical. Just follow the community rules 
in posting is all we admins ask.

Maybe people could post links to their favorite blogs or other groups and 
mention what era(s) or areas the group focuses on?
