The rh rl's blog: "To Join....."

Thank you for your interest in The Friendship Circle. I am sure you would be an asset to our group and enjoy the other members. When we started the group, we wanted a small membership (20 members MAX)to make friends with, be drama-free, chat, and be there for one another when the need arose. We also wanted to help each other with the rating game. The number one rule was each member had to rate the others 30 picture rates per week. This does not sound like a huge amount but when you consider many work, have a husband and/or children plus activities in the real world it can be too much for a person if the group is larger. And we did not want anyone to fall between the cracks and be left out. I applaud groups who are large for it is an awesome job to manage such a group. We have been very successful with our smaller group and everyone appears happy. We pitch in and help members level up when they are close and share in their happiness and in their sorrows. Therefore we will not be taking any new members at this time, but we are making a waiting list in case an opening would come up. You are welcome to have your name added if you so wish. Please inform MickiBlueEyes if you would like your name on the list. Again, thank you for considering us. HoakieGirl, Founder Jus' Me, Co-Founder MickiBlueEyes, Co-Founder *******Waiting list*******

There seems to be some misunderstanding about rating members of the friendship Circle and I am sorry if I have not been very clear about this. We have very few rules for the group as we did not want to tie everyone up with you can do and can't do's. We want to create a friendly atmosphere where you can chat and make friends and hopefully, lasting friendships. The rating system is a MUST. When you join the Circle, any past problems with another member are to be left in the past. All members will rate the very MINIMUM of 15 rates (more stashes as they are not worth as much) per day for a MINIMUM of 4 days per week. You may rate more days and more rates as you wish. You can even pick the days you want to rate. NO MEMBER IS TO BE SLIGHTED. Please take time to chat to the new members, get to know them. There are very special people here if you would only take the time to get to know them. I love you all and you are basically doing a good job except for a few. If you feel you cannot do this please let one of the founders know and you will be removed from the list. Please leave a comment so I will know you have read this. Thank you, and I do luv ya all!
