The following adopter forms have been declined for the following reasons:

The following newbies have been assigned the following adopters:

iua has been assigned Midde
unicoboy has been assigned buck
Kamiluna has been assigned ~patches~
mothbrainz has been assigned breezey
facebook mom has been assigned rainfall;
lupo.kami_ has been assigned jointedwishes
Raela13579 has been assigned Swifty98
ArchimedesConstruct has been assigned KinardTheSock

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.

Hallo - in June I was told I'd be added to the list, but I don't think I ever was as no one has ever been assigned to me and I'm not there. Could I be added back on?

[KinardTheSock]

Hi! I was assigned a newbie last week and I messaged them but never recieved a response from him/her. It has now been over a week. I would like to be added back to the list.
Thanks!

Have you helped anyone before anywhere on CS? If so, please link to the post/s: I have never formally helped but I was the first of my family and friends to join so I helped all of them get started. I occasionally answer in the is this a fair trade thread if it comes across my path.
Why should you be allowed to adopt a newbie?: I remember how hard it was to be a newbie. I am willing to help and I have a good understanding of the features and activities of cs. I can help a newbie to find and use different features and even trading, although I realize that trade help is not the main goal. I want to take a newbie under my wing and help show them the ropes. Also, my school is out right now so I have time to take care of my newbie. Maybe we can even be friends!
How often do you get on CS, and how long are you typically online on these days?: I am on at least once a week but generally more than that, particularly without school, I am on almost every day. I am online for maybe a half hour at a time but sometimes longer. I stay as long as it takes me to handle my business, which could definitely be a longer time if my newbie needed help.
Did you read and understand all of the Adopter information?: I read it!
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: Of course!!

Your adopter has been assigned now, and they will pm you to introduce themself!

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

The following adopter forms have been declined for the following reasons:

• Form was inadequate, either did not provide enough information for us to make a decision or it simply did not give us confidence that you could adequately help a newbie. If you are not sure how you can fix this, you may PM a thread-mod about it.

Have you helped anyone before anywhere on CS? If so, please link to the post/s: I pm the person rather than post on their threads the majority of the time.
Why should you be allowed to adopt a newbie?: I’ve been using the site for over 6 years now and believe I have enough knowledge to help with all aspects of the site, and want to make people feel welcome. I've also helped newbies in the past and I was successful in doing so. it always feels super rewarding!
How often do you get on CS, and how long are you typically online on these days?: I check in throughout the day on my phone, and will keep a tab open for CS if i'm on a computer. I'm online anywhere from 30 minutes to around 2 hours depending on how busy I am and I’m most active in late afternoon/evening time.
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?: Of course !

(i hope it's okay i've quoted my old form rather than creating a new one)

and again !!

Languages that you are fluent in (besides English): Sorry, just English.
Have you helped anyone before anywhere on CS? If so, please link to the post/s: I don't have any posts for it but when my sister joined I taught her everything I could, and it made me feel good. I would like to get better and feel more comfortable with helping, but I am fairly confident in what I have now.
Why should you be allowed to adopt a newbie?: I want to help, and I enjoy doing it. I want to make sure that my newbie doesn't make the same mistakes that I did when I was new, and learns some things I have. I hope that my inexperience won't turn you away and that you can see that I might be rocky at the start, but I learn fast.
How often do you get on CS, and how long are you typically online on these days?: I am on CS almost everyday, but how long I am on ranges from 10 minutes to 6 hours. However, this is before the newbie. I promise to always make time for my newbie when I possibly can. Just letting you know, I will be on a camping trip until Friday of next week so please don't assign me anyone until then.
Did you read and understand all of the Adopter information?: All of it.
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: I will do my best.

If it's not too much trouble please PM me if I was denied, I won't be sad or upset with you, I just want to know.

Sorry to bug you, but it has been 10 days and my newbie hasn't needed help even once. I would like to be assigned a new person, as I was really excited to be an adopter
