The title. A friend of mine is trying to register

[Frumple]

I don't think anyone besides the admin would even begin to have grounds to know. It'll happen when it happens.

[SystemsTestCanary]

What is a common time from forumites' experiences? I think mine took about a week perhaps

[delphonso]

Around a week, if I recall right. Possibly less. Your friend might consider messaging Toady. I believe there are some email-related issues.

[Bumber]

I'm pretty sure it was immediate for me, although that was back in 2013.

[Frumple]

Not gon' lie, I don't even remember there being an approval process. If it took time at all, it wasn't enough to stick in the memory.

... that said, I remember exactly nothing of the details of any registration processes I went through 14 years ago, so... I don't remember there not being one, either, ha.

[martinuzz]

Same, but then again, I registered before the great forum move of 2006

[Loud Whispers]

I think mine took half a day

[nenjin]

I think....it's related to post count.

[None]

Post count is what determines if you're an Escaped Lunatic or not.

I think something happened a year or several back where registration has to get approved through Toady, and yeah, it can take a bit. Turnaround for mine was a day or three, as memory serves. If it's more than a week, I'd raise an eyebrow, but otherwise, The Toad will get to it soon enough, I'm sure.

[nenjin]

Huh, yeah, I wasn't aware there was an approval process now.

[dragdeler]

Big T needs to manually confirm, that was put in place to reduce the number of bots IIRC.Pretty sure he activated mine the same day.
