Is the cue long for fulfilling shell requests? I am curious - of course.

On the other hand...after carefully reading the wiki. I retract any and all winey remarks regarding the creation of shell accounts.

Currently there is ~20 people waiting. I'm not sure how people are currently adding users (personally I'm doing very few) but in theory you shouldn't be waiting too long.

Once again, the users that spam their posts to increase their total posts won't get any shell. So even if you spam, you won't get anything(you are waiting to be removed, instead of having a shell.) So it's better to make quality posts a few per day or week, than spamming for example 15 a day.

Also some mods require you to be active on the IRC channel. If you are a good forum user, with quality posts(ex. doesn't mean 50+ spammy posts), you may be added without being on IRC. Because some people can't be on IRC or don't like to be there. If you make average quality posts you will need to be a few times on IRC, so the staff knows that you are an active user, not an user that spam their posts and wait for their login to be emailed.

And no, I'm not saying this to you nokompranos. I am posting it here, so the spammers will read this and hopefully understand what I'm talking about.

Best way would be to be "visible" and leave your marks. Now thats one technique I could never master well. Someone probably had mercy on my super begging tactics and added me up? =)

This could be off topic but I tried to connect to the IRC server and my ip is banned.

:Your host was listed in the AbuseAt DNS Blacklist,

So unless that changes I won't be chatting in IRC. ;\

It is off-topic...
Anyway follow the instructions on how to remove the blacklist from your ip. The ban line will give you a link to the blacklist site.
