Everybody is a winner is ridiculous. You want to be a winner? Put the work in that being a winner requires. Losing is supposed to sting. It is supposed to make you want to strive to be better.

It's not same as the link. The link sends you to a YouTube Ovaltine commercial. The 2d barcode reads as this:

"Here's to Fuzzy who thinks he's clever
posting links where and whenever
A wit he is, his aim is sure, baiting Trolls with his lure."

Sorry m8y lol. I made it specifically for Rav on the 6 nations rugby thread. Since I know that he has an android phone and is my opponent in the competition.

I then put it in my aviator as a constant reminder to him. :thumbsup:

Here's to Fuzzy..............lure... got it! :)

DirecPlay code is only one part of a problem with the game for antivirus software. Another is Xenocode.

Your plan failed because I've always been far too lazy to actually look it up :)

In light of that, while it's great that we can help newbies who seek it in the support forums, wouldn't a preface or warning or troubleshooting page link on the 'create an account' page be beneficial? I can't imagine even 1/10th of people who have trouble starting the game stick around long enough to make a forum account. Even a short promotion for MSE as an alternative anti-virus program (if it's indeed a good one) would not be hard to add and may reduce playerloss.
The current (pkk's) installer has links to the helpline/training etc. Points you into the correct places if you have issues (and this isn't the only issue that may turn up - remember)

wow. Allegiance Sports is getting tons of traffic lately. Well, tons compared to what WAS happening . .10-15 downloads of the ep10 (old one) each day over the last week or two.

Any idea why we're getting so many hits? Is it translating into new players?

Maybe just some bots hit your site... ;) I noticed a small drop of traffic at GB website, after I banned most of them.

Anyway, I still not believe webalizer:

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.

hhe . it's mostly non-web based traffic (subscriptions pulling the xml direct and getting the file . like from iTunes or other podcatchers).
