    I'm wondering if something changed with the sign up process. I see so many new intro threads that have some variation of, "thanks for the add."

    Do new members have to be admitted now? When I joined I just created a profile and was in. No one had to add me to anything that I can recall.

    I'm thinking so. When I registered, it sent me an email, then I clicked on the link in the email, saying I was registered, but pending approval by an administrator.

    Maybe the bar was lower when we joined. Now there’s a process and such. Next we won’t be allowed to make up our own words anymore.

    Yes. The gates are locked. Tex has the key. He will open the gate after you go through his vetting process to attempt and limit scammers and nacre-do-wells.

    "Thanks for the add."

    Add is a verb, you ****ing millenials.

    :):

    The "Thanks for the add" is a Facebook thing. Because most groups require a admin or mod to approve them to join the group, hence the "add". Every time I see this in a personal weather station group that I'm a member of the admin team, it's like :n00b:, awe heck we got another live one.
