(On the Leading Edge Of Preparedness)
Updated 14 March 2010
I know your time is valuable, but ours is too, so
please read this to avoid mistakes.
Due to time constraints, incorrect
requests are discarded.
People skim this, send in an incorrect request, and then have hurt feelings when their application is discarded.
Membership Requests sent from a Valid Home, School, or Office E-Mail Account are preferred, and get faster attention!
****NEW POLICY****: If you need to send in a password request from any of the following "Web-Based" E-Mail accounts, we simply require that in addition to sending in your User-Name and Password with your Membership Application, your Application must also contain Your First and Last Names, and an evening Phone Number where one of our Mentors can call you to verify that you did send in an Application Request to AlphaRubicon.com. Some of the E-Mail Accounts, and Message Headers, that fall under this restriction include (But are not limited to) Requests from:
| Hotmail | Yahoo | Gmail | Hushmail | Unknown HELO |
| CV | AOL | Godaddy | Received: Unknown | |
| SecureServer | local host | postini | Anonymous | Proxy Hopping |
Applications Sent from these Accounts without a name and Evening phone number Will Be Discarded. We apologize, but other users of these types of accounts have abused them heavily over many years.
You will have access to a "Mentor" on our Mentor Board (a Board for new folks to ask questions and learn the ropes) when accepted for membership, and that/those Mentor(s) will Guide you through settling into the Rubicon until you get the hang of things...
*** Probationary Members, toward the end of your Probationary Period you will be expected to receive a phone call (Or "Skype Video Conference Call" can be substituted) from a Rubicon Senior Administrator as a condition of being removed from probationary status. If that's something that concerns you, please don't apply for membership.
Several Hundred New Members that have joined using this policy of receiving a phone call from an Admin before being removed from probation, LOVE IT. In fact, it has become a badge of honor to some. The Initial short phone call (Or Skype Conference) from a Mentor to a potential member put everyones concerns to rest. The extended chat a few weeks later with a Senior Administrator to be removed from probation has been known to end up lasting hours as they quickly find themselves becoming friends.
Besides, Once admitted into the Rubicon area, you'll notice that most Rubies regularly have Face-To-Face ("FTF") meets with other Rubies. Most Rubies regularly attend Rubicon Camp-Outs, and/or Rubicon Work-Parties to aid Members in need, and/or other Rubicon Events.
If you were previously removed from the Rubicon area, or if you're trying to "Sneak", Server hop, or otherwise mislead us for some reason, We don't want you as a member... You can stop reading right here.
(Past Members who left in Good Standing are more than welcome [encouraged, even] to reapply!)
Sorry, But we Do Not keep "A Waiting List" for Membership openings. We only have so much room, and even with multiple expansions, we stay packed-up full. We know it's frustrating, So we're constantly expanding, but that's about all we can do...
If you don't have time/motivation to participate almost daily during your probationary period, please don't waste your (or our) time sending in a password request. We have few rules, but we enforce them to the letter... fair warning.
Getting a Password:
You choose your User-Name (Login Name) and password.
Your "User-Name" is also the Name you will use on the Message Boards and when writing articles, etc... Choose Wisely, this is the "Name" that people will call you, even when they meet you Face To Face, so your User-Name should be something people can "Say", as well as easily type.
Passwords may not be shared, given or loaned to your "friends".
If your request is approved, we'll issue you
a probationary account which will become a full membership after it is determined that you will be a contributing ACTIVE member, and upon receipt of dues (15 dollars for the first 3 months). Dues policy and information can be found at this link Dues Policy and info
By sending in your password request, you are agreeing to abide by ALL Rubicon Rules Of Use.
If you do not get a response, there's probably a good reason. It is usually due to E-Mail being sent from one of the above "Anon/Free E-Mail Services" with no working Contact Information; or incorrect login name formats, bad passwords, excessive Spam filtering, or not providing enough information about yourself to base a Membership Decision upon...
If accepted, It usually takes less than 24 hours for you to get a response and for your Probationary password to be activated (Unless we're out camping or traveling).
We DO NOT sell, loan, rent, keep, archive or give out any
information about you... ever! You have my word on it. Simple as that.

Paranoids, Racists, Radicals and "Lone Wolves" are not appreciated here, we have zero
tolerance for these types.
If you don't plan to be an ACTIVE, Motivated, contributing member, don't bother sending a password request.
If you feel you have "Nothing to offer" or "Nothing to say", please don't ask for a password, the Rubicon is not for you.
You'll find that the people inside are more like family and friends
than strangers on the net, and with that in mind you should be aware of
your conduct at all times within this area. The rules of conduct
are strictly enforced... We're not kidding about it, and we don't make exceptions.
