Membership Application down

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?

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.

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

Again, I'm perfectly happy to wait for someone who knows the specifics of the issue to respond. All I want to know is if they will make a way for me to apply (via email or the like) and/or an estimate to how long it would take for it to come back up. I'm perfectly happy to wait for that answer. I just want to know what to expect.

With respect Nami, I believe Edan answered the first part of your query in her initial response :laugh:

It's great to see that you're so enthusiastic about joining this community but can I ask why it is so important to you that you become a member so quickly?
