How hard is it to get approved for the Early Coppers group on Yahoo?--Update: I have been approved

Longacre · April 17, 2007 10:45AM

I just tried to sign up. I needed to write a 200 word essay explaining why I wanted to join, and then my request to join was submitted to some grand poo-bah for approval. My application is currently pending. How hard is it to join the group? PCGS basically lets any slug in, so I was surprised that there was an application process for the Yahoo group. It sounds pretty exclusive, so I am hoping I get to join.

Keep us posted.... let us know what it's like when you are in! (uhh... but.... you would then be a member of an exclusive club. Maybe you won't have time for us lowlifes any longer!!

Can you write and essay that is 200 words long???

Yeah, I saw that essay requirement and decided that it was not worth my trouble ... there is plenty of early copper knowledge to be found right here

Update-- I just got an email that I have been approved. I also got a rather terse email indicating that if I spam the boards, I will be banned.

I hope asking a lot of questions is not considered spamming.

Are you kidding, he can write a question that long.

The essay surprises me too, I didn't have to write one. But then I've been a member for awhile. We had some problems for a little while with people joining just to spam the list. The essay and approval process was probably put in place to help eliminate the spammers.

I don't know where you are getting the "200 word essay" thing. It says to introduce yourself and state why you want to join, in 200 characters or less.

Congrats!

That's different.

Since Longacre's approval there, his participation here has dropped off a cliff.

I actually have not logged in over there yet. I will probably just read there and post occasionally.
