Sorry to be lazy, Midnight Mocha - but is the Pearly Baby Surprise still available and, if so, what would you want for her?

Will I get an email or message letting me know when I get approved? Or if I am not approved?
I requested approval at least two weeks ago and have been checking the "Group membership" area almost every day. Is there anything I can offer to speed up the approval process?
Thank you for any assistance and I appreciate tolerance of my simple question

Personal views I always thought were generally "unpopular":
I'm not a big fan of the Flutter ponies. There's no way I could afford an intact one with it's original wings, nor afford proper repro wings. They are just a disappointment in my collection. Plus, I'm not fond of their faces or body ratios. The little wingers, however, those I adore, but can't afford!
I think it's very silly to pay more than $15-$20, maaaybe $30, for an exclusive or hard-to-find pony... like Mimic. I adore her colors, pose, and symbol...and being a set completer - she's the last Twinkle Eye I need, but I just can't bring myself to dish out three tanks worth of gas, or a (two week's worth of groceries!) for one 30-y-o pony.
I am not fond of Beddy Bye Eyed babies (even though I have nearly every one of them! UGH!)... Rusty or like new. I had an imagination when I was a kid - if I was able to pretend my pegasus could fly, my unicorns could "wink" (transport), I could certainly imagine babies closing their eyes on my own. Besides, I loathe DOLLS, and they remind me of just that.
Speaking of doll-hate...Equestria Girls. Ick. Why turn ponies into people? Yuck. My teens reported the show was fun, but leave it as that if it must be a thing at all.
I love almost all gens in their own way!
G1: my childhood and to the era I am most loyal. If I had to get rid of all of my ponies less a dozen - it would be my original childhood "Collector's pose" set and a few others I would keep first.
G2: has grown on me over they years - not to say I didn't have a time where I thought they were ugly. I own a few, and often pursue a few, but I often lose bids.
G3: another gen to which I am quite loyal! This is the gen I bought for my daughter when she was "of pony age". I adore so many from this gen, I used to have dupes of my most favored MIB, as well! I still own several hundred of them after I "thinned out". My all-time favorites - Crystal Crown (where "CrownofJules" originated!), Sparklesnap, Rainbow Dash, ...and I know there are too many others!
G3.5: Ow. Awkward. NOT a fan 
G4: I appreciate them for current fans, and collect some of the brushables for a bonding activity with my 13-y-o. I think the show is cute but I rarely get an opportunity to watch. I LOVE the blind bags! I don't collect in a pattern or series, and I (we) only have a dozen or so, but I adore TEENY ponies and all the varieties they can provide!I am SO over the Mane 6, however. 
One more - I abhor the term "cutie mark" - it makes me gag.  The symbols are tangible elements of what the pony represents - a symbolic representation of their personality or whatever. "Cutie Mark" sounds like a fancy mole or birthmark

She looks great now! Good job
For such a lovely girl like her, I'd consider splurging on a set of repro wings

Considering I kept the best of the best MIB G3 for my smaller, streamlined collection - I'd KEEP!! 
Hrm...

Shoot! I'd find a head for her! Even if it didn't always belong to her
Keep

I know I read somewhere once about the prerequisites for posting sales in the Classifieds - might someone happen to know where that info is located?
Thank you in advance

Hi, I go missing for years around here! Easy to do as I have children, last year I tried to make a come back but real life literally kept me away. I hope I can find myself in ponyland again
I've been missing on here for a looong time - do you have to talk to a moderator to back into your account - or does it still work after many years? I can't seem to remember enough to get back into my old account

 Hello!
I use to be on this site many years ago, but I've been away sooo long, my account is gone
I just faded away from collecting after I graduated from college and became jobless for nearly a year. So much for a professional education taking me places 
Well, nothing like a fresh start!
I decided several year ago I needed to freshen up my collection. Thin out those that I really had no lingering interest or attachment.
I still adore too many of my G3, but they are the ponies that I would like to find new homes for - I am hoping to find new homes for those ladies here (and ebay, facebook, the MLPTP, too). My goal is to move them out and take a big sigh of relief. 
My main focus is the ever-aging G1 collection. Like me, they are starting to show time on their faces. I hope to become skillful at restoration for the unluckiest of them. I started customizing waaay back when I was here in the old days - and I sure would like to get a holler from someone out there if they have one of my customs from the custom swaps I participated in!  I sent out a halloween pony, a christmas pony, I am completely blank on the last one - (I didn't even get pictures of her  ) and several miniature McD Pinkie Pies with a CD on her hip  My username was signed on the underhoof of each custom.
Thank you for allowing me to re-join the Arena! I look forward to many delightful posts and sales!

I always wanted to live in Paradise Estates with my ponies, too! C'mon - who else was going to use the silverware? 
I'm always such a stickler for the details, too
