I'll admit, the hosting information page could be clearer (or at least more direct) about how to apply. That said, I wanted to make sure people read all the other info there, before finding out how to apply. I intentionally didn't want it to just "jump out at you." Also, I do feel that there is an "Applications" section that has a pretty clear description on the main forum index. Likewise, this area (Web Design) has a rather clear description as well, one that does NOT involve it being the place to ask questions like "how to apply." The initial comment of "are you joking?" is based on the fact that I often complain about people not being able to read directions, or use proper english, and I thought one of my friends may have been faking an account just to see if they could rile me up more.
Anyway, yes, applications section of this form is where you should go, and please... PLEASE, before posting there, read all the instructions in the post marked "Instructions (Read Before Posting!)"
As to the lack of clarity in the hosting info page... I plan to redo that entire thing when I revamp the server in a few months. I'm probably going to fall back to a "traditional" form-based application, so people don't get as confused.
