Im glad that has ben mentioned, some of are greatest minds on this site rest in a handful of people. If those people were to gather in a coven it would be greater than a coven of 100's.
Teen witches and spell casters are very large covens, however there not as knowlegable as are little covens. Are best coven's are the ones who teach and learn with there members.
Keep in mind, many times if there is only one member and they are not accepting applications, they may be trying to close the coven and have it removed. You cannot delete a coven once made, nor can you delete your profile if you are priest/ess. It takes time.
Also, if there is one member and they ARE accepting applications, let them try to get members.
I'm not sure what sort of time frame you want for those trying.
it took me 2 months 2 get more than 3 members,but once ppl started joining, things took off. i now have 15 members and am satisfied, but i would highly apreciaye more members, bcause i believe i learn as much from my members as they do from me.
I suppose those who are smaller with one or two members should have a chance, but then again, if the coven is original they shouldn't take too long unless it's one of those covens that practice a very strange, unique or rare form of magic then it may take a very long time but it doesn't mean they should be removed if it takes a longer time then some. Paganism will have more members than let's say my deep arts coven, it's not that I'm a bad leader or am just not cut out for it because all my members are happy where they are even though I only have 7, it's that deep arts isn't all that popular.And so, bringing us back to the conundrum of, "how to tell if a coven is worthe keeping or not". Many would controdict to the creation of my coven sense there are apparently a few other non-human covens but do understand, that I have a purpose and I help those who need or simply want it, I'm a good teacher and know much in my field and line or form of magic but sense there are other non-human covens, would you get rid of deep arts because it's smaller?
You should not be sorry, you just explained it wrong.
Anyway I hate those mature covens who don't have icon and picture of coven. Their priests are so lazy,more members would come in those covens if they were looking inteligent. And I see that there are many joke covens who should be deleted. Pete should do something,cause it realy hearts my eyes when I see those silly names.
I also wonder if I'm the only one a little irked by the "Twilight Vampires"? I mean come ooooonnnnnn....... Atleast come up with a slightly more creative name for it..... *britty wines like a child*
But that coven has flourished.... I still wish for it to be removed or at the least renamed. It depends on if it's a serious coven, because I remember reading in its front page that the creater of the coven only wants it to have the same rules or something to the effect of twilight vampires....... I just think it sounds like laziness, instead of taking the time to write the rules, they make it required for one to read the book or watch the movie.......
