Oh Really?

Looking for an alternative?

Charm Candy launched its own private forum in April and it has become quite the serene and friendly environment. Anyone is now welcome to apply, but those who do not meet the minimum requirements will automatically rejected. If you do meet the requirements your application will be voted on by current members -- more than half will have to approve in order for you to be accepted. Charm Candy was, up until this point, exclusively invitation-only. However I firmly believe that there needs to be an environment where we can openly discuss our concerns about sellers, buyers, and charm things in general without hesitation. The Charm Candy environment is exceptionally friendly and I love that it has become a group of friends more so than just a board.

You can find requirements in this post: http://charmcandy.blogspot.com/2009/04/launching-charm-candy-exchange.html

If you would like to apply, please visit http://charmcandy.yuku.com and submit the application that has now been added to the above post.

If you're just looking for more charm filled goodness, stay tuned - I have more beach pictures of the seashell bucket and stone crab to post, as well as some newly acquired items (mainly the British charms and that chain purse I was crazy about). :)

Launching: Charm Candy Exchange

Launching over the weekend will be Charm Candy's very own Exchange Program - a private site that allows you to post your charm wishlist, along with a "look book" of charms you're thinking of re-homing. This will connect reliable sellers and buyers with a way to save on fees and perhaps find an older charm or two at a great price.

A little more detail:

• Membership is by invitation only
• Charter members will each receive one invitation for a friend
• All future membership invitations will be reviewed by current members
• Members will receive one extra entry for all future Charm Candy contests

To qualify:

• You must have been an active member on TPF for a minimum of 4 months, with a minimum of 500 posts
  
• You must have been an active poster on the JC Charm thread for a minimum of 3 months
• You must have posted at least 5 different different photos of your own charms
• You may be asked to provide your eBay ID for a feedback check (the selling and/or buying of fake items is strictly prohibited)
  
• Offensive or controversial material regarding yourself or your opinions posted outside of TPF may be taken into consideration
  

Charter members can expect to receive their invitation over the weekend. If you do not receive an invitation but are interested in joining make sure to get posting and get yourself noticed somewhere - either by commenting on Charm Candy entries, or by posting in the JC thread. If you have any other questions feel free to e-mail charmcandyblog@gmail.com!
