In all fairness, in the initial discussions about creating swaps on ATP, someone had posed the idea to allow members to join at any time, that way new ATP members could join a swap if they wanted, even if it had already started. I don't believe anything was said against this, so the running thought was that it was open enrollment throughout the swap. That was what I initially believed and if that's what Rick was thinking, too, I wouldn't blame him.

But yes, the swap does prevent enrollment after trading has begun, unfortunately. There will be future swaps, though, so I definitely encourage everyone to keep it in mind. We have a great group of members already and I've loved every day of this so far. I can imagine it only gets better from here, too! If you want to join in future swaps, keep it in mind!

I was not blaming Rick. I was just trying to provide the correct information. I didn't know it myself until I investigated it after the subject came up in a swap thread yesterday. Some just asked today if they could join one of the swaps, I would love to have said yes. Perhaps @dave would consider adding this option to the host control panel and let each host decide if they want to except later entries or not.
