Hello there! I've read the recent comments and something has been brought to my attention.
I can see why some may be hesitant about joining, and I didn't realize exactly how much information I'm asking for; I greatly apologize for that, and I thank you for bringing it up. I want this to be a really successful group.
The idea for the list of pet peeves and concerns was an idea based off of an assignment I did in my english class. We separated our pet peeves from a main concerns, and it really showed the way the people around me thought and what worries about them, whether it's themselves, their family, their friends, the world, etc. I thought it would be a great way to start this group off and get an understanding of what kinds of things we need to focus on.
The questions "Why do you want to join OATH?" was suppose to be a question aimed to see if you will show that you'll mostly be active. We want this group to stay active and not slowly die out - to continue make an impact for a long time.
The "What do you want to do for OATH" was for the sake of trying to organize the group. Groups are hard to set up and organize, especially with just one person. So I was looking for members who would be interested in helping with member requests or help organize one of OATH's worlds. I'm sorry if it seemed too demanding in some way.
the small description of yourself was just for an introduction of what kind of person you are. I want us all to be friends here, and to understand each other. I'm sorry if that happened to be a bit personal for people. Some descriptions weren't that long.
The sending in PMs for the member request is also for the sake of organization. It helps as some sort of check list, because we need to see exactly who is wanting to become a member, set them as guest posters for all of the worlds, and then subscribe to them.
The idea of seeking advice from others and posting about things that are concerning you was an idea based on my experiences. The members on theO have provided amazing advice and helped me mature and I'm greatly in debt to all of you. I'm still young and still learning, and there are a lot of people who have made the same mistakes or experienced the same feelings.
Plus all of the member introductions that will be posted will be posted in "The Discussion" world, a world that can only be viewed by members, people that really care and wish to help others. Of course I could be wrong, and I hope I'm not. I do understand if it's still too personal though.
Again I can't express how sorry I am. We're just starting off and we still need work on getting everything organized. Please comment any questions or complaints and I'll try my best to clarify or fix things. Also please provide suggestions so that I can tweak somethings and help make this better.

EDIT:// I just read through some of the PMs and we've already had two people resign.
Please know that I have nothing against this. Being part of a group can be stressful at times, such as keeping up with it and staying active. I'm aware that everyone has their own lives and concerns and I completely understand, so please don't feel bad about not being able to be completely dedicated. :)
Take care~
