Are you guys active or not? I and some other people (as I can see on the front page) have sent join requests and have still yet to be approved. Active groups usually accept within 6 - 10 hours depending on staff online at the time.
My request has currently been pending for 3 days. I'd really like to join but I'm only interested in joining active groups.
If I don't get accepted within 7 days I'll just cancel and unwatch the group, sorry.
