Please no name calling this time

I still haven't heard anything about my team. How about everyone else?

Also, did they contact you via email or through VMK? Any rumor that if you used AOL or Yahoo that their email gets kicked back?

I got a response through e-mail. I believe some people got in-game messages, though.

I heard back a few days ago through email. I use yahoo for my email. If you used aol you will not get your message because it is usually blocked by aol's spam blocker.

I was really starting to get worried, but I heard back. I am sure that you will get a response.

In talking with Host_Hula last night, we were told that they are still going thru applications, so not to give up.

We had received our response last week sometime via email. There are people who have received either in game or email and there are still others who've received both.

Having formerly worked for AoL, I can say unequivocally that their spam filters are set on the overly paranoid setting and tend to block most things. It's just easier now-a-days to not use AoL Mail but to set up a gmail or yahoo mail account. At least with gmail and yahoo you can add the vmk email address to your address book and it shouldn't drop it into the spam bucket. AoL spam mail doesn't usually even make it as far as hitting filters.

The conversation with Hula last night was quite refreshing. We don't usually get much insight into 'behind the scenes' but we were reassured that not all is as it seems and they *do* hear our concerns. I'm glad to see that VMK is out 'in the wild' as we call it and can not see it as a bad thing that they are watching.

I have not heard back yet. I used a yahoo email address for them to reply to instead of my usual aol address. I have gotten replies to this address before and since. I used the contact us link last night even to ask them if we were accepted or not. I actually got a reply back if that is what you call it since they only told me how great the newsletter was to find out info.

And AOL does filter their replies, they posted so on the homepage.

Everyone is waiting anxiously on pins and needles.

Congrats to all that have made it! Keep the thread going, I guess we have until the 29th to hear one way or the other...

Read the bottom of the newsletter it says the AOL fileters blouck our responses

 

[renthi]

Still nothing, one way or the other.

I think a response email stating it was received may been a good thing for VMK...
