It depends entirely on your SYSOP.  The Sysop I get this conference
through (Jim Barchuk) is very reliable, and he has always added
conferences in a couple of days.  Dave Neimeyer, who called me up to
offer me access to RIME conferences through his board when Rick's board
closed, dropped me a note a couple of days ago to tell me there was a
limited access conference I absolutely had to join (on account of being
a co-host on poetry). I said, "fine!"; and the next download I was on
it.
On the other hand, it took one sysop I know of three months to add a
conference, and he only did it after the host of Poetry complained to
the administrative head who yelled at the sysop.
So it really does all depend.
