Phoenix Network Forums

Hi all. As you can see I am a member of this forum, and also a great comunnity. I am new here, and want to ask you a few questions...

I see that you have more than 1000 users, but you don`t have much posts, it looks like that your users register, made couple of posts, request hosting and then dissapear. By reading TOS i realised that you should come to poenix-networks forums, and contribute by posting. I come here regularly, but I don`t see here many members that is active. Why the situation is like that?

And also wanted to ask you, what is an average time (that user must wait) for getting email, to see if his request is accepted or declined. Thank you.

When do I get my account?

You?ll get your account when we make it. After you pass the test, and if we pass your reasons. Then we will create your accout. You account can take 1 hour to be created or up to a few weeks. We now have a new requirement where you have to post 15 posts in order to take the test. We do this to weed out the people who just want the shell to run a eggdrop and nothing else.

Well I don`t know much to do in shell, I want to set up a eggdrop bot, but also I am good in contributing in forum activity. I see that this hosting is popular, but users have 20 -30 posts, and then they dissapear? Do you close this accounts, if they are not active? I will be active, like in other forums, not because I don`t want to pay, it is beacuse I like forums, and to meet with other people. To help them if I can, so they will help me...

Thank you for the answer. I read this about 1 hour to couple of weeks, just wanted to make sure that i will get an email in any case, if my request is accepted or declined. Thank you very much!

don't worry, you'll get an email.

I don`t worry I have trust in you guys I don`t want to offend anyone... Sorry if I did

you didn't offend anyone.

All you gotta do is participate in the forums, come to irc once in a while, and, above all, be patient.

Cheers.

I am patient. I don`t need this shell now. I can wait And about IRC. I come there, and see that online is 25 - 30 users, but the main chat is 'dead' no one is talking.. Why? I read the TOS aobut IRC but they didn`t said that you can`t talk in public Thank you!

That's true. The channel is rather idle. I mostly talk to Tim or Boso.

Yes, I noticed that the chat is idle... and i still didn`t get an email, but I am active here on forums, and know what is happening. That DNS on fusion i down, and that the Px team want to buy (rent) a new server, so then they will accept new users.. etc... no problem, I don`t need that shell account so urgent, but I like to talk with you guys, this is a nice comunnity

And i don't know how to make my irc client connect to several networks at start

What is your IRC client?

i think i saw mirc in your screenshots.

just put /server -m irc.shellsnet.org in notify.

i use the forum for communication now days, i hardly have enough time to go on irc.

Currently me too. Because I am busy because of school. Now have many obligations... but will come to IRC when i can

Thats because people register, and then don't know what to do...then just leave. Thats what the webstats say at least...
