Phoenix Network Forums

Hi.
I'm a 21-year-old guy from Helsinki, Finland. I'm studying at the Helsinki University of Technology, but for most of the time my mind is on our band project (no, the band has no pages online yet). We will be releasing our first demo album in June so if you like metal, be sure to check out our pages (I'll tell you the address later ) Oh and yes, the songs are written in Finnish

I'm a little confused as why my application was rejected. I'd appreciate if someone of the moderators would comment at least with a few words what went wrong. Should I have done this introduction before requesting a shell account? I think I read somewhere that the introduction helps but is not mandatory.

*EDIT*
OK. So I read the instruction page again and it clearly states that this introduction has to be done before applying for the account. It was the bit where it said "... it helps if you have 5 or more posts" that confused me (my memory). My mistake.
So, what should I do now? I've already posted the application... in my opinion it would not make any sense to post another application which is just the same (copy paste style). Or should I do just that?

You don't need 5 posts. Just that it improves the chance to get accepted.
And of course you shouldn't post same posts, or another application..

Anyway, Welcome to phoenix network

Ok. So I'll just wait. I hope my application won't be forgotten since it's now in the infamous rejected applications forum where no one looks again...

if it's in the rejected, it means it was forgotten.

Reapply - everything is fine except that your application was your first post.

Nice to meet ya. Whats the name of your band?

The band's called Äijö. But some members still haven't totally accepted the name, so it could still change (I doubt it).
The name Äijö comes from a Finnish mythology Kalevala and in some Finnish dialect it also means "grandpa"
