Yeah, you're probably right. I'm also a bit skeptical about it but so far it's worked okay for me as well.
I am still not accepted to the Minnowbooster whitelist, though. I've been using their bot service but I was told I had to receive a memo from them and that way I am let known I've been accepted? I don't know. I've had a lot of questions about that. I can see the whitelist board but it says "pending", so I'm assuming my application is still being reviewed?
We've been having a huge backlog in admin reviews. I hope you'll get accepted soon. You've had your five user yes votes for several days.
Yeah I figured you've had a lot on your plate lately haha but thank you for letting me know! I was a bit shy to ask hahaha
I don't get to do that part, so I can't speed it up. (And it shouldn't be my job; I'm getting better at figuring out what they want but still entirely baffled by how they decide at least 5% of the time.)
Hahaha well in any case knowing this makes me feel less anxious. Waiting makes me anxious haha
