I have a new top list site up for any one running an openarena based site (forum, clan, server, etc.). Stop by and add your banner or text link. Hope to see you there. Cheers  Cheesy OpenArena Top Sites

asking when OA3 will be done won't get OA3 done.
Progress of OA3 currently occurs behind closed doors alone

I do not provide technical support either.

I get a warning from my antivirus when visiting the link. It's most likely spam.

Could be a co.cc domain suspicion throwing that flag up

the only 'spammy' thing I see in that link on my browser is a gameservers referral link

Seems you're right. I don't know what the referal link does as it opens the gameservers site normally.

I'm not a bot, and it is not spam, or virus. I installed OA not too long ago, and I really like it. I have a server running OA E+ and I have a free webspace account, so I decided to do a toplist to try and get some exposure for the game Cool

As PopeJo and FromHell hinted, the co.cc domain is a known haven for botnets, zombies and other dark matters.  It also didn't help that your post seemed to be the stuff a Spammer would post.  It would have helped to explain upfront what you said in your latter post and that you host the BlackWood FFA OA Server.

I assume you're the BlackWood admin who's been posting all the question at the Q3 E+ site regarding VSP, etc.  Anyway, I'll send you a banner later this week.  Can't hurt and I support OA.


btw, if you're going to sent unsolicited E-mails to all the active OA Server and Forum admins, I suggest that you add them to a BCC Group so that the recipients see only their e-mail address.

WaspKiller... if you're going to create a new banner, consider adding it (or a modified version of it, if it will include TopSites references) to DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Artwork]the Artwork page, too.

I never want to be aggressive, offensive or ironic with my posts. If you find something offending in my posts, read them again searching for a different mood there. If you still see something bad with them, please ask me infos. I can be wrong at times, but I never want to upset anyone.

Gig, GJ on keeping the Wiki up-to-date.  Been there many times but never noticed that page.  I'll send you a banner on the weekend if I can create something worthy for others to use.
