Click my link: http://www.outwar.com/page.php?x=1888828

Some people are really against outwar and I would like to know why...
I can see no harm of it

tried to check it out and got this message

ERROR: You have exceeded your clicks for today. You can click more outwar links tommorow.

With me AOl warned me about a file that the page wanted me to download, so i got outa there!

The site/game is not a problem in itself, just the way some people try to get more clicks. Often (at least in my experience) there is deceit involved to try to trick people into clicking on the link, and it is posted in the wrong forum (see Outwar's anti-spam policy). I think you are about the first person I've seen actually state that the link was going to Outwar, so I clicked it (to get you to 75 feet).

An acceptable way to trick people IMNSHO would be something like Morbo's post favorite beyond divinity art work. Pretending to ask for, or offer, help in the Divinity forums to get clicks is very annoying spam, particularly since that often appears to be the only reason they joined the forum in the first place.


Welcome to the forum. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

There shouldn't be anything trying to download. Maybe javascript or something your browser doesn't understand? Maybe something from a popup ad? I use WebWasher (site appears to be down as I post this) to stop popups.

ummm... what exactly is "Outwar"?? Did not click the link (thanks, Raze), but did find and read the anti-spamming policy... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Basically, whenever someone clicks on a link to a monster's page, that monster becomes stronger. There are ways existing monsters can fight each other, etc that I never bothered looking at, since it is the pyramid scheme style activity that is the focus of spamming.

Thanks again, Raze! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Yeh...Blood-y cheek of it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> Get rid of the blighter i say, and get shot of THAT link too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

I don't understand: why not to go there? It's not that you're getting a virus or having your soul taken away! For example, look at Mobo's sig (I think it was Mobo). He has a link for a similar Zombie game. If you want to know what the game is, you could've just clicked!
Spick: if you're asked if you want to download something, you can always click 'no', can't you?

/me is suprised

BTW, clicked to get you to 81 feet. Nice artwork, I love that smokey style. Though your avatar reminds me of that green He-man's battlecat from Masters of the Universe. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

@ DATD : Nothing really against Outwar, except insofar as it's a pyramid scheme (which I dislike on principle), and I certainly do appreciate that InTheMiddleOfNowhere was quite straightforward about what he (or she?) was posting.

But if the only reason for joining the forum here was to post the link in a bid for more clicks... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Do not want to be hasty in judgement, and consequently unfair to InTheMiddleOfNowhere, so will let time decide.

I certanly agree with you, Rincewind.
Well, if he leaves, We'll have one idiot less.
If he stays and participates, we'll have a new valuable member.
Look at this from my side <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

Doh!! IE6xxx (CrazyBrowser Front End) came up with do you wish to save this file "OutWar.exe" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

@DATD, I wasn't overly concerned about the file download,whatever it was, it was the cheek of using me, you and everyone else for his own purposes, i don't take to being USED to kindly

I was asked to download the Outwar Toolbar.
It's java probably. I had Webwasher, it's great but I had to turn it on/off because it blocks EVERY popup and I am too lazy to configure it.

Death, how you doing these days , have not heard much from you for a while, i never got around to playing Arcanum, it didn't install properly,i have since got a new PC running XP Home Edition, so i might give it a go again, might need the crack you mentioned.

anyone know a site that i can download webwasher from?

The WebWasher link above works, there was just a temporary problem somewhere between here and there at the time. When I hit a site that requires popups, etc I just left click on the WebWasher tray icon to disable it and re-load the page.

You can also block popups with Mozilla or Firebire or the Google toolbar. And with these you have the option of adding on "Nuke Anything" which is an intriguing name and function that no browser should be without.
Btw I didn't care for our friend posting the Outwar link either. He may not realize it, but he is basically a pawn in the hands of the company that makes and markets a cheap offensive methodology for increasing their web traffic.

Thanks Raze, I just downloaded it.

@DATD Like your new Av, is that a cider, it is in England,Dry Blackthorne Cider,whack it back yer gizzard.
