So being new to DLA..... the poll is closed... now what happens for a 2015 coop?
When a coop manager starts a coop, you will see it appear in the current coop's forum. The title of the thread will tell you which device is being cooped. Inside of the first post of the thread will be the coop specifics. They will include the coop purchase options, the minimum numbers required for the coop to proceed, the maximum number that the coop can handle before being closed, the coop close date if it doesn't fill up, and the estimated cost of the buying options. If you want to join the coop, you simply post in the thread the number of each option you wish to purchase. When the coop closes for orders, if it has enough quantity to proceed, you will be notified how much you need to pay and the payment deadline. All payments are to the coop manager and PayPal is the only payment option. All members of the coop who did not pay by the deadline are dropped from the coop and the parts for the remaining members are ordered. Once the parts are ordered, there can be no changes by the coop members and no late payments can be accepted. The coop manager purchases all of the parts, sorts them and packages them for the coop members and ships them out to the coop members. Once all of the "kits" are shipped, the coop is completed. The coop rules can be found in the current coops forum, pinned to the top of the page.
