Same here. Registered mid August. Still waiting for my blog to be verified. FAQ says "open ticket to get verified as a blog". Helpdesk is however permanently offline and refers you to community forums, although you can create tickets, they stay unanswered. And over here in the community forums questions regarding blog accreditation are routinely ignored. Left and right people are being helped, but I've yet to bee a single guy asking for blog accreditation getting an answer. Very frustrating.
To answer your question: For me personally, my hope dwingles by the day.
