It is an answer.
You asked how you could find out when we are searching for new members. The answer is simple: you don't. You only know when we contact you...
And why would you want to know? If we say "this month we are looking for new members", what do you think will happen? Everybody starts to be friendly to us and writing on the forum, just to show us how good they are, blablabla We don't want that, we look for people that are ALWAYS like that. That's why it takes so long to become a member. If you don't have the patience, you're not worth it. End of discussion.
