This is
a non-commercial women-only community space with free membership, run by leatherdykes, for leatherdykes. Everything about this site, right down to the webhosting company that hosts it, is owned by leatherdykes, and is done on a volunteer basis by BDSM-loving lesbians for other kinky women-loving-women.
How to Join LeatherDyke.ComDo you fit the bill? Are you a woman and a leatherdyke? Read this first to see if you match our membership criteria. (opens in new window) Don't fit the LeatherDyke.com criteria? Go to LeatherEveryone Pick the description that fits you best, below. Once you've followed the directions pertinent to your case, we should be able to okay you. Please remember that the dykes who run the site are volunteers on this free, unpaid, non-commercial, safe, "just-for-us-dykes" community site. We are not machines. We'll try to get back to you as fast as possible, but we have jobs and lives and sometimes it'll take more than a day to get back to you. Thank you for your patience, in this day and age of instant gratification, with our old-fashioned desire to know our neighbours. WORKING EMAIL: You need to
give us a real, working, unblocked
email address in order to sign up. If you're on AOL or use
whitelist software, make sure the email address "admin (at)
leatherdyke (dot) com
" is okayed
before you attempt the sign-up. If
your email address bounces, we'll delete your beginning
registration. Please try again with a working email
address. TIME LIMIT: If you don't get in touch with us to initiate the verification step within ten (10) days , we'll delete you, and you're free to initiate membership at some other time. November 2005: Okay, here's one more thing that we're kinda feeling strange about having to add, but it's become necessary: Be polite when you talk to the membership volunteer. We don't mean grovel, or kowtow, or do a D/s thing -- we don't want to "top" you or make you jump through hoops for our cruel amusement. We just mean... please use ordinary everyday politeness. We're looking forward to getting to know you! |

IF: (1.)You directly know a member of LeatherDyke.Com or of the DYKE list.Follow these steps: - your leatherdyke.com username - the e-mail and name of the leatherdyke.com member who is going to vouch for you and then - have your friend send us a quick note at the same address stating that she knows you as a woman and a leatherdyke. (She has to send it to us from her email account, and nope, we volunteer sorts really, honestly don't have the time to contact the member and ask for it. You just saying "I know the leatherdyke member BigButch from Texas" won't help; you gotta ask "BigButch" to drop us a quick line.) We'll activate your membership as soon as we hear from the leatherdyke.com member about how cool you are! |

IF: (2.)You have heard of this forum from a public source, and are not sure you know anyone here. We'll need to have a conversation with you in some way. (a) First, sign yourself up (opens in new window) and then (b) drop us a line at memberrequest (at) leatherdyke (dot) com (type this address carefully; if you get it wrong your email will be lost in space), and let us know - your leatherdyke.com username and - a bit about who you are... how you ID as a leatherdyke, what groups you may be involved in, whatever is relevant in your mind that lets us know you are a leatherdyke. Once we're in contact by email, we might ask you to give us a quick phone call (nope, we can't call you, our "new account" moderator, also a volunteer, would go broke in days on the long distance charges). Once we're sure you're a fellow leatherdyke, we'll be thrilled to activate your account and welcome you in! |
