    Default ** To Join the World Abroad/Political Group **

    If you are a Donating Member and wish to join the new World Abroad/Political Area, Please use the link in the UserCP under Group Memberships. You will have to wait for your membership request to be approved, but I promise we will get to these as soon as humanly possible.

    Here's the link to get to the place in the UserCP where you join the group... Group Memberships

    Thank you.

    Just put something "Please" or "I wish to join". As long as your a donating member and have not been banned from that area you will be approved.

    No reason needed. You just need to be a donating member to join. Relax.

    I was going to put something in there about sucking up to the mods, but just put "to participate" instead...but only b/c you don't have to be a donating member to suck up to the mods.

    OK, I just rejoined the other day. Now I have to rejoin again?

    Well, I tried. Followed the link, and clicked on "Join Group." Then I had to type in a reason. Did that. Clicked "Join Group" again, as most people would intuitively do if confronted with that option after typing in the reason. Then I got a message "This does not appear to be a public user group."

    Help!

    That just means that your request has to be approved, which has now been done.

    Come on folks, we're trying to make as many folks happy as humanly possible. We know we can't ever make everyone happy, we understand that. How about giving us a break here. Please?

    OK, seems to be working now. thanks.

    It just seemed kind of weird that we would have to jump through the same hoops we just jumped through a couple days ago, and when I did today, it worked differently.

    Glad you all got it working to your satisfaction. Long live free speech!

    I understand why this is happening, and I feel for you guys, really I do, but I am dissappointed in this solution. An era has passed.

    Yeah, I know. There was a reason why this one was so much more popular than certain others, that's all I'm saying. History has shown us that keeping feathers unruffled by keeping voices muffled usually only works for a while....

    It also show's us that having a key is the best way to get in a door and those without a key either don't want to go in or aren't entrusted to that door.

    No one is muffling voices here bfitz. Let's not start bickering about this, please.
