Some of my old creations show my name and the grid I was on when I made them, even though those grids no longer exist. I used to go by MelodyStar Madison and that will show most of the time on the old stuff. Occasionally, my items show the creator as "loading," I have actively built on only two grids in recent years with the name I currently use. Sometimes my prior grid name appears, and sometimes it doesn't.
About six days ago, I left the grid I had been on for almost two years and started my grid. I had the IAR transferred to an alt to act as a closet to keep my main avatar’s inventory cleaner.
Interestingly, some items in the inventory of MelodyStar, the closet, now show her name as the creator even though she is a brand new avatar and her last name, Ravenhurst has never been associated with the first name until now. Other items show Star Ravenhurst as both the creator AND owner, even though this current avatar didn’t make any of it and it hasn’t been in her inventory. This inconsistency has been helpful for setting up my store on the new grid in some ways by putting my current avatar showing as the creator even though the avatar didn't make it. GM is imperative in this case when you want to transfer your stuff (that you made) to a new avatar and grid. What is interesting is the stuff I have from others in the inventory is showing the original creator so thankfully whatever glitch is happening didn't put my name on their stuff too, only mine. Unfortunately, some of the items on my lands changed the creator to me when the OARS were loaded, but most of it retained the original creator’s name, thankfully. So if anyone sees something like that on my grid, please don't get your panties in a bunch, I didn't steal it or make that happen on purpose. That sucks when it is art which has happened as well. I wish someone would fix this.
If people want original creations, I will have my shop open soon. A friend is also opening a shop of original creations in his region on my grid. Not everything is stolen in OS.
