sites with "pop-up" ads anywhere need NOT apply
knowledge of html needed. (note: sites that use "templates" will not even be considered.)
you must spell words correctly! no, "ppl" for "people" or any other ridiculous things you people (yes, you know who you are) use. s.o.t.a. members simply are more sophisticated than this.
please, no fan sites apply. they get in the way if you're not looking for one.
it is not required that you put the webring on the main page of your site, but it must be somewhere! (i.e. links/webring section)
just because you APPLY does not mean that you made it in.
when you sign up you must mail s.o.t.a. letting us know that you have placed the ring on your site. (please include the exact url where the ring is located.)
if a member of s.o.t.a. has a problem with your page they will be able (as will you if you make it in) to mail the webmaster with their complaint. (i.e. dead link or incorrect spelled words - intentional or not) the webmaster will then check out the problem and get back to both parties involved. you will not be asked to leave the ring, just to correct the "problem" if the s.o.t.a. webmaster feels that it is necessary.
once you have made it into the ring you are in it for good. there are only two ways that your site will be removed:
A) your site changes drastically and you begin to go against most of what s.o.t.a. stands for.
B) you request to be removed.
most of all, please note: i am a christian. i do not mind if you do not agree with christianity and explain why on your page. in no way am i trying to censor you - not in any way shape or form, but i will not, i repeat will not place any site in my ring that has something degrading about christianity. (i.e. a bullet hole through Jesus' head called "art" - that is not art.) so not even apply if you make fun of any religion. *thanks*
please remember that it may take a few days, maybe weeks before the webmaster decides to add you or not add you to the ring. either way, you will be notified.
good luck!!
