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:

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...

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.
