I am guessing for a number of reasons I am waiting so long, 14 weeks. Other than contacting about.com with the customer care form, and not being too forward or annoying, is there a way to find out if the topic has gone into prep? Thanks so much! Uncarved I see your topic is still listed ~ 15 weeks for you right?
About.com recently did a re-org so I am not sure who to contact about issues with the application process. I've got a post on the internal forums hoping to find out who you can contact. You definitely need to contact someone if you aren't getting a response when checking on your application and double checking to make sure it isn't caught in a spam filter. You may have entered an incorrect email address.
