    I think this list will help people pass the months (years?) waiting to be approved on the list.

    Here are my suggestions:

    1. Visit the open TCE forums and reread the same few threads.
    2. Learn Japanese.
    3. repeatedly click on the private forums to get the message: "Sorry, but only users granted special access can read topics in this forum".
    4. Play World of Warcraft with four different characters, reaching level 60 and doing all of the available quests. Then write fan fiction stories about your characters.

    6. slowly go crazy whilst pulling out all your remaining hair and simultaneously working on your "scare the kids away" stare.

    Motek: If you applied prior to September 13th, reapply and I'll get your application. If you applied in the last week or so, I've been away on business and I'm going to be catching up on the missed applications this weekend.

    7. Combine a love of tequila with a love of music. Observe how your musical ability deteriorates. Fall out of love with both, and wish you could still write a song about it.

    ( Just making my presence known. I only applied a day or two ago, so no rush or nuffin'.)

    They were good before they released that song. "How to win friends" and "Regular Urban Survivors" were dead good, quirky, British rock albums. I should dig them out again.
