So, obviously the community hasn't started off like I'd hoped it would despite the advertisements I've put out. For that, I'm truly sorry. But fear not, there is an upside to this!
After the 27th of September there are no character limit restrictions - you can take up as many as you wish. There will be no time lag to applying (you can put in for any number at one single time), and you can take up any character so long as you put in a request for it. Applications are still a large part of the process, however. You can then work on your app for as long as you want, though the application is merely to showcase their history. From the 27th on, you don't really have to put in any RP samples either, unless you really want to.
That's all I really wanted to say. Hopefully one day we'll get a few more members, but until then we can compensate by filling everything out ourselves, and having fun with the few we have. And maybe we'll just become a tight little community. ^_^
