^ That is flaming. It's okay to use capital letters for a part of the sentence but not the entire sentence. | |

No, each member is hand sorted by the admins, so it can take up to a few days since we usually sort hundreds of people. | |

Where are they? | If you look at the top of the page, you will find a link called User CP, in a blue bar above the navigation bar. Once you click on it, you will be taken to your Control Panel. On the left hand side, you will see several links. Find a link called Group Memberships. After you click on the link, you will be taken to a page which shows the various fan clubs there in SS for you to join, various groups that you are already a part of, with short descriptions about each club. Select the club that you wish to join, complete the following procedure (you may most probably be asked for the reason you wish to join) and submit. Your request to join will be sent to the concerned mod of the FC, who will approve your request.  | |

thanx! | Richard aka Dumbledore came up with this site. spamming is where you post or than one replies in a row and flaring is when you use all caps on your words. example: THIS IS FLARING. all the other rules are just to keep the site appropriate for the younger memebers or viewers on this site. i hope i answered your questions correctly and if i didn't, i'm really sorry!!
