PLEASE NOTE: The Hamster Liberation Front has suspended the acceptance of new applications indefinitely. We have received too many frivolous applications in recent weeks and the administration of admissions is taking resources away from our core causes. If you believe you truly deserve to be a member, you may send us a 350-word thesis on the reasons you should be included; if you prove your maturity, intelligence, sense of humour, and general worthiness in that thesis, you will be considered for membership. If you don't prove the above-listed qualities, you will be summarily dismissed and may be the recipient of a special "re-education course" delivered by our regional squads. You have been warned. Still think you've got what it takes? Send your 350-word (no more & no less--we will be counting) thesis to us. All applicants were previously required to fill out the following application. Please answer all questions completely and honestly. At the end of the application was the submission button; applicants clicked it to submit to us, er, submit the application to us. Yeah. That's it. BTW--if you're going to submit an application to us, make sure your server doesn't bounce our messages to you back to us; that sort of thing makes it really hard to be an upstanding member or the glorious HLF. (Even if we accept your application, we can't induct you as a member if we can't contact you.) ***************************************************************** Your Name Your Age Your Email Address 1.
