chifg reject?

I am new to the community here in Chicago and someone suggested I join chifg.com to find items for sale and get in on the bike scene here in Chicago. Well I signed up over a month ago and never heard back, which means I must have been screened out.

Anyone on here in chifg as well? I was wondering what kind of things they found in my 'background check' that are keeping me out.

At least I have the chainlink to stay connected! Thanks for the great forum.

As a mod on chifg.com, I'll tell you that we go through fits and starts when it comes to approving members. When I approve members, I try to go through each one to make sure that each application is legit and I don't always have time to do that. The other mods are equally busy, so sometimes it's tough for folks that want to get on. Just as in my day job, send me an email and I'll try to take care of things quickly.

Ah, I figured this was the case. Thanks for your reply. I was eager to join the forum, but since you can't see anything unless you are a member I had no idea whom to contact. I didn't mean to cause controversy or anything with my post here, I just have thirst for bike knowledge is all. In the end I got what I wanted :-) Cheers!
