Hello, >gave them one request for a computer account and when I didnt get a response I >asked an admin, he told me to have patience and wait "in a very bad manner", >after 4 weeks i asked again this time to another admin, he dirrectly told me >that they are not accepting anymore computer accounts. The First admin told me >they are accepting but will take time, the other one said they dont!!. Okay This sounds very strange .. I don't ever recall a period where FICS was not accepting computer applications .. there have been times when there was pretty much an absolute stop on adding any non original accounts, but never an absolute ban on computer account additions. >say its understandable, but what hurt me most was that in the same week thay >allowed new computer accounts like cstal(c) (either the account was cstal or the >program was cstal). when i told him (the account holder) how it was possible? he >told me that he has "connections"? well what the hell!! after that I didnt know Whoever was talking to you was outright lying. I'm sorry that I can't give out the details of what happened, but I can assure you that he was lying. Having "connections" will not help with getting a computer account. When I was in charge of them, I had to personally decline some requests from friends - I applied my criteria evenly to everyone. Regards, Adrien.
