Did my project get lost?

June 2, 2006 12:18 PM

Did my project submission get lost? Or have admins just not had a chance to approve it? I only ask because it doesn't show up in my projects list at all, and I'm not sure if that's because it's not approved or I screwed up the submission somehow.

How long ago did you submit? Have any other projects gone up since you submitted it?

If the answers are "not too long" and "no", you're just awaiting, as you speculate, approval.

approved it just right now. when metatalk is busy, approving projects happens a little more slowly.

Thanks jessamyn. I really wasn't intending on pushing the approval faster, but I wasn't sure if it submitted properly at all since the projects line in my profile page only listed one previous project and not this one.

Much appreciated!

Huh. I didn't realize there was an approval step.

seriously. I'm not sure how my project ever got approved.

Approval isn't really the right word, basically it's just to make sure that one set of eyeballs looks at it to make sure it really is someone's project and not just some whorey linkspam.

I approve of the term "whorey linkspam".
