Help needed! :)

Dear fans of OOTP,

as you know, we don't sell our game in stores, so we have to hope that new customers find us on the internet. Download sites are a very important part of it, and in order to get more downloads it is important that the product is rated by many people. So if you can spare a minute and would like to do us a favor, please vote for us at download.com!

Here are the links:
PC: http://www.download.com/Out-of-the-P...-10791845.html
MAC: http://www.download.com/Out-of-the-P...-10791852.html

Thanks a lot!!!
Markus

Done! [Anything to oblige!

falkonisback · 01-18-2008, 09:02 AM

Man, I tried to vote, but it wouldn't let me rate the game and when I'd hit 'Submit', it would come up and say "Page Not Found".

Yeah, what I get is "There has been a problem contacting the Download.com servers. Please try again later." Which is what I guess I will do.

ctorg · 01-18-2008, 09:15 AM

I gave it a glowing review.

Kelric · 01-18-2008, 09:19 AM

The website is blocked by my work 'pending review.' First time I've seen a blocked website.

Nukester · 01-18-2008, 09:23 AM

Im having the same problem where it is having trouble with the download.com server. Ill try again later

manooly · 01-18-2008, 09:25 AM

I also had problems after I submitted my 5 star review. Hmmm.....

Yeah, they don't seem to be on the ball over there. I'm having problems, too.

kingcharlesxii · 01-18-2008, 12:21 PM

Worked fine for me.

SDtwin · 01-18-2008, 02:03 PM

Worked for me too. I feel like a shameless promoter, but only a tad. I don't mind though. The more people that buy the game, the better it gets. And the more people there are to talk about it with.

falkonisback · 01-18-2008, 02:07 PM

I've tried 3 or 4 times now and couldn't get it to work at all...This sucks because I really wanted to put my rating in too.

1998 Yankees · 01-18-2008, 02:21 PM

Jeez, I wouldn't download the goddamn program that Download.com uses for customer reviews, that for sure!

But, I will keep trying.

Neags23 · 01-18-2008, 02:24 PM

Is that download number right? 141,000 OOTP 8 downloads? That's damn impressive.

That's about 141 times more than I would've guessed.

EDIT: Yeah, there's no way that's right. 141,000 downloads since Jan. 9th? OOTP would be breaking some records

Maybe that's history-to-date, including all previous versions of OOTP.

zekester91 · 01-18-2008, 02:48 PM

It didn't use to be, I know for 2007 we did start a campain here to all go there and download it a few times, possibly they combined those numbers...

it is the third most popular baseball game this week with 124 downloads....

tcblcommish · 01-18-2008, 04:45 PM

I had to register then I had to search for the product again and then I was allowed to do it. Kinda stupid but mine is done.

Aarrghh! I cannot believe I did not think of that. Of COURSE they would want you to register in order to comment on their web site. I have awarded myself the "Dummy of the Day" Award.

Done. With my compliments to Markus, Andreas, and Steve.

It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.
