I know Nash applied and they sent him a email saying he was denied. And it took them like a month to approve mine. I think it has a lot to do with your profile and how it looks to them.

Exactly why I would never bother wasting time there. I have gone and read the tech archives enough and I am sure there are plenty of people that will be mad at me for saying this but I wasn't overly impressed. There are some extremely smart people there for sure, but there is an equal quantity of idiots giving stupid advice and asking stupid questions. I won't ever apply to see if they think I am wothy, who says I think they are worthy. I don't feel a need to prove myself to anyone. And for tech info, there are better sites out there and they are not so arrogant as to think they can deem who is worthy or not.

And Chris, I will probably get the IRC channel running again, that was fun last time.
