Do Indie/Contract developers count?

Are Indie/Contract developers considered to be qualified to join the private membership forum?

 

We've got some indies and contractors on the private forums, as far as I know.

If you're in the queue to join, it sometimes takes a while because we're all working day+ jobs, and TCE is run by volunteers from the game industry in their free(?) time.

 

IIRC, if you don't have a work email address you can provide, you can get someone who does to vouch for you.

 

I've never seen a spambot be so accurate
I think we should let him join

 

I am a contract developer who has been vouched for by an associate at a games studio--but none of my posts thus far have had the wit, remark, or blunt, underhanded, over-the-top, tear-jerking, edge-of-your-seat, dry humor as lovebeijgo.

Thus, I am allowed access only to the public section of these lovely, lovely, tasty forums.
