Why did you take a month to apply? Well, for one, I am not too keen on forums. The other part is I wanted to think about the right org to join, because I don't leave an org lightly. So I went out, played a bit, spoke to ppl, and tried to get a feel for the orgs out there.
A little about my time in AO. I started in 2008 and my first and longest lasting org was Komodo. (rk2) Good people, but they werent very active at the time. Hard to get stuff done sometimes. After I left, I took a long break from ao, several years. Around the time of server merger an old Komodo friend of mine told me to apply to The Glowing Nightflies, so I joined them for a little while, but the org fell apart when the leadership quit. Time for another break from ao. Fast forward til today and I'm having fun on my shade, and this time I've decided I'll try to join AP.
Code of conduct seems reasonable. I will say that I sometimes can get colorful in my language, its part of where I'm from. But I will try to restrain myself

Hope to hear form you soon.
