It's been more than a week and my newbie never responded. Can I be added to the top of the list?

Username: Eagle's Eye
Languages that you are fluent in (besides English): I am fluent in Chinese, which is my first language.
Have you helped anyone before anywhere on CS? If so, please link to the post/s: Yes! I like to answer trade related questions and welcome newbies on the introductions board.

Why should you be allowed to adopt a newbie?: I would love to help and introduce someone to this site! Back when I joined in 2012, I didn't really have help and got ninaja'd. I had to figure out many things by myself and it was quite challenging. I would like to prevent this from happening to others. I've been on this site from many years so I know how things work. I've also opened my email notice for PMs, so I usually respond pretty quickly.
How often do you get on CS, and how long are you typically online on these days?: I always try to be on everyday as long as I'm at home. On weekdays, I get on for at least 2 hours while I get on for at least 4 hours on weekends.
Did you read and understand all of the Adopter information?: Yes, I did.
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: Of course!

    Languages that you are fluent in (besides English): i can speak a nice amount of french.
    Have you helped anyone before anywhere on CS? If so, please link to the post/s: i apologize for not being able to provide links because i clear my trade list almost weekly, but i have gifted people tons of times! i also answer questions when asked.
    Why should you be allowed to adopt a newbie?: because i was in their shoes once, and i'd think it'd be great to give back to the community and help them grow on this site. it's the least i could do.
    How often do you get on CS, and how long are you typically online on these days?: i get on cs about everyday and stay on for prolonged amounts of time (sometimes leading to hours) whenever i do because i tend to multitask.
    How many newbies are you willing to adopt (max 5): i'll be able to take 5 at a time.
    Did you read and understand all of the Adopter information?: yes, i did.
    Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: of course! being a bully won't get anyone anywhere.

    Thread Update

    Any questions?:Could my adopter be Maud Quickpaw?

      unfortunately, that person has not signed up to be an adopter.

    The following adopters have been accepted and will be added onto the list:

    The following newbies have been assigned the following adopters:

    Newbies, your adopter will be messaged shortly to notify them that they have been assigned to you, and will hopefully be able to answer all your questions. If they don't contact you within around a week, or if you're having other problems such as they're being rude to you, you don't understand their explanations, or anything like that, you can PM one of our thread mods, and we will assign you to a new adopter as soon as we can.

    Our mods are;
    >> AquilaFuga - axelandria - Burrito Bunny

    In the meantime, I would suggest that you take a little look at the Newbie Guide & Index, if you haven't already. It has some great tips, and could help you while you wait for your adopter.

    Languages that you are fluent in (besides English):
    I can speak a moderate level of Spanish

    Have you helped anyone before anywhere on CS? If so, please link to the post/s:
    I was on the old adopt-a-newbie page and helped 2 newbies.

    Why should you be allowed to adopt a newbie?:
    I would love to give them the chance to really experience chicken smoothie and I had a great helper when I was a newbie and I want to pay that forward to the CS community. I am patient and would really like a newbie to be able to really appreciate CS and stay on for many years. While I am still working my way around trades (especially high quantity/rarity) I can help with basic trades. No mater what the issue is, I will try my hardest to help and if I do not know the answer to find someone that can help. We all know what it is like to be new on CS and hopefully, with this program the newbies will not feel so lost in all of the rarities, friends, foes, trading ect. I really want this to be a welcoming experience for them so they will stay.

    How often do you get on CS, and how long are you typically online on these days?:
    Typically a short time in the morning but then on later in the day for a more extended period of time and I am on CS every day.

    Did you read and understand all of the Adopter information?: Yes
    Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: Yes
