IA is an exclusitivities organisation now. The members that are in are in because they made it before the cutoff date. What happens now is membership will only be open when a current member either dies or sells off his share of the membership. In the case of the former happening, the person noted on the Famous Last Words of Will and Testament of said deceased member will assume the deceased's position, title and rank. In the happenstance of the latter taking place, an auction will commence with the higher bidder, after making payment in full, will assume the seller's position, title and rank.

There is also an option behind Door Number Three. Every February 29, the first 25 names of potential members on the waiting list will be put before a panel of their superiors. Myself included....but who didn't know that. At that point, a list of message boards frequented by the enlistee will be made available to the panel at which time that panel will peruse the forums and see how you presented yourself elsewhere. Any form of douchebaggery displayed on another message board will constitute immediate dismissal from consideration of membership to IA. If you have presented yourself as an upstanding citizen of the ether-world, then you'll be filed under the category of FAG (Future Attending Guest). As a FAG, you'll be allowed restricted access to certain areas and features of the site and message board. You will be monitored and all posts scrutinized for underhanded idiocism. If found, you'll be immediately be terminated from the site. If you do meet the criteria, you'll be upgraded to PUSSY (Present User Status Shows Yes). You're now a full-fledged member of IA.

Good luck. Later, QD.
