Old Dominion Heather Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 You know, it will be funny if you get a bunch of new member applications from here, just to see if they get rejected! Good luck. It is possibly just as well...my computer is slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMindy Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hello Ladies, Heather, I am sorry you were declined membership on THL, we have a few folks on our team approving members so I can not tell you exactly why you were declined but I can tell you we have had some , to put it nicely "freaks" trying to get on the site so we have all been very weary.If you did not fill out every question that might have been it. We figure if folks don't want to take the time to fill out the form then they don't really want to be there.:D Toni, We don't discriminate in any way! If you are a homeschool mom, you are always more then welcome on The Lounge! All are welcome, we have groups for everyone! Liberal or not! We are NOT affiliated with any group or site whatsoever! My husband and I thought a site like the Lounge was needed in the HS community and so a year ago we started researching to see how we could make our vision a reality and on Feb. 14th we launched the site! We are not just a forum, more of a community. We have to have advertisers and sponsors to make up the costs for the Lounge to keep it FREE to our members. As for the lady with the coffee, well that could be me any given day of the week, and as for the lovey dovey feel of the site I guess I am a lovey dovey kinda girl but I am also many other things like a rough and tumble mama of 4 boys, I love pink, I love black and I love how you all talk so freely and honestly on this forum! Thats a good thing. Well ladies its been fun reading but my arm is numb as well as the one finger I have typed this post with (holding a sick, sleeping baby) If The Lounge looks appealing to you we would love to have you join if you have anymore questions , ask away! Thanks, Tiany http://www.thehomeschoolounge.com excellent response!! You make me want to go check it out, but I really don't need another place to spend time on the internet!! Thanks for responding in such a classy way!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiany Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Heather, This probably goes without saying and you probably really don't feel the need to be at The Lounge but I feel that I should tell you that you are more then welcome to tinker around the The Homeschool Lounge, slow computer and all. If you do choose to apply again you can fill out your name and TWTM under referral, I promise to zip your application right through!;) I would hate for any legit HS mom to feel that they are not welcome over there, you are! We would love to have ya! :D Tiany http://www.thehomeschoollounge.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TracyR Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Well, bless their hearts. I'm always reluctant to share too much information with groups like that. I want to see what I'm signing up for before I actually sign up. That's why I don't bother with a lot of the Yahoo! groups anymore. I understand that they're trying to keep spammers out, but the ones that want to know why I want to join? Well -- I don't *know* if I want to join, I want to see what you have to offer so I can decide if I want to join! I was denied membership in our local Freecycle group because I couldn't think of what to say. I'm not going to beg! You're better off here anyway. ;-) Then I would just say that :lol: when you do join a yahoo group. They are keeping the spammers out and let me tell you from experience its very annoying when they get into your group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splash Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Yes, sometimes I've actually forgotten to specifically say that I homeschool or have adopted or have allergies, which is the one piece of information they are looking for so am rejected. When I try again I've always been approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WrestlerMom Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I wonder if they have a home school DADS forum that my husband can join?

If you think you've been declined in error, you can contact the administrator at administrator@thehomeschoollounge.com If your membership was declined it was most likely for one or more of the following reasons... • An incomplete profile, you did not fill out all of the required application questions. • You are not a Homeschool Mom, our site is for Homeschooling moms or soon to be Homeschooling moms only, no men allowed, we do not allow the curious or those contemplating homeschooling at this time.

Sincerely, THL Admin I wonder what I said to make them think I wasn't a homeschooling mom?!? :eek: I find this very, very amusing. I think I may have answered some of the questions tongue-in-cheek.
