The membership application part of the website says it is down for maintenance, and any applications submitted would be lost. Is there any way to apply in the meantime? If not, when will it be back up?

No there is no other way to apply. However there is nothing stopping you from doing anything else on the forum in the meantime, the only thing your won't be able to do is post in the jediiism forum.

It won't let me have a blank signature ...

There's actually other parts of the forum that I wouldn't even be able to view without being a member.

Also, since I can't pay in the Jediism forum, any discussions about Jediism that Is want to partake in would be inaccessible, and is I posted one, it's bee in the weekend section.

And there's still the question of when it'll be back up? And for that matter, why wasn't it announced?

You can still access most of the discussion threads Nami, particularly as quite a lot of 'Jediism' discussions end up getting posted in the 'Open Discussion' threads anyway.

Ren is probably the best person to speak to regarding when it will be back up and running, as he is most likely the one working tirelessly behind the scenes to get it working again.

Though to be fair, even if the application system wasn't down, it could still take a week or two before you became a member anyway.

Please try and be patient and we'll get everything up and running again as soon as we can.

Apart from rank related forums (apprentice, knight) there are no forums you cannot see.

The application has actually been down a while but nobody noticed, so even had you applied you wouldn't have got membership. Unfortunately the best we can say is that it'll be done when it's done.

That's precisely why I'm wondering. There's be a week or two wait after the application is even submitted for me to become a member.

It hasn't been down that long as I've been a'guest' for a little over week. And if it had been down a while, that worries me.

It has as I reapplied for membership myself which is how it was confirmed as having issues.

The review of applications can take two weeks, so being a guest a week is quite normal. Due to changes in council one person is doing other work on top of reviewing applications so patience is needed while they fix things and get through backlog.

How about we wait for Ren or someone else who knows what's going on to answer to this thread. :)

Unfortunately, this current format of the site is still a very new one for us Nami and it is entirely propped up by one or two members with the technical knowledge to run it, these members do this entirely voluntarily in their own-time. Whilst this is great for us as it saves a significant amount of money that we simply do not have, it does mean that processes are often a bit slower than we'd like them to be.

As Edan says, you do already have access to pretty much every forum you need, and you do have full access to the IP materials (I see you've already started your journal), so you're not really missing out on anything.

All we can really do is ask for your patience
