downloads are on the same server.
ads are on a different server - for ads the bandwidth of the advertising party is used... (just look at the underdogs page source if you don't want to take my word for it.)

actually this turned out to be a good example of closing a topic with good reason as you're obviously trying to drag this topic for unlimited lengths without wanting to be receptive for good reason.

That would be kind of ironic, but thanks to your push with underdogs topic you might get that satisfaction...

Just let us know if you feel any better afterward... or at least some sadistically happy...

As I already said, topic had no good reason to be closed, and if we start to close every topic that has answer, you would close whole game sub-forum, actually, there is no point to post anything, as it's already described in review.

So if you don't have anything better to say and keep that unfreindly tone, try to avoid this question.

And as far as underdog download server goes, here is the address for download server which is not the same one where the web page is. ;)


http://files.the-underdogs.org:8080

Ip address for web server is 64.202.167.129, while download server has this address: 209.120.136.196. Need more info?

ironic? that the ads are on a different server? or that the downloads are on the same server. I can't quite follow you here.

I see no reason why I should feel better afterwards, I have too much free time on my hands to keep answering your queries, LO L...

You have been here long enough to know that there have been rants about the underdogs in the past, adding to the fact that the question was answered, the good reason is thus that Data prevented that from happening again... We like the mother of all abandonware.

I don't see how any of my posts in this thread have been unfriendly, in fact I think I have remained polite in all my answers. It's not because I don't make use of a smilie that it's per se unfriendly.

I don't know how you resolve webpages to an ip address but if I ping the addresses they point to the same address, namely: 209.120.136.196

just do a ping to them in dos.

Read bottom of my post again.

I've checked where downloads are, so your theory is incorrect.

Try something different. And trust me, site can become unusable just because of ads and spy (especially if used with javascripts). If you don’t trust me, try http://www.gamespot.com. Open it with and without ad blocker and you’ll see difference.

And all this underdog discussion should be done on that topic which is kind of closed.

And you don't have to smile to be friendly. You should know that already.

But just as I already said before, it takes a while to explain something, and this might be done in PM, but to what effect and how many times same things have to be explained?

And from your first post I got feelings that you took personally all comments / suggestions.

Rogue 15-04-2005 08:00 PM

Here you go:

Still 2 different addresses.

First time I made mistake between .org and .com. Was there at the time there was no - in address of that web site and when it was .com.

Braindead 15-04-2005 08:01 PM

My first post only indicated that we have gone through this before...

In fact I indicated together with my comment what the reasons for thread closing are.

Edit: heh you're right on the underdogs having 2 servers... still people who download from the site will also visit the site no? :angel:

Rogue 15-04-2005 08:05 PM

And I replied that:

* I might find that post, but it might get closed if I bump it

* I might start new topic, hoping to understand why and how it works here

* I might do as you suggested in the case I don't like it


I also wonder what do you think how person/kid feel after you closed the post where he asked something? Welcomed?

Also, most likely someone will come back and say at least thank you, which is also kind of nice to see.

*coughspamfestcough*

:angry:


I don't remember seeing a thread closed without a blatant reason or without the reason explained in the closing post.

I myself welcome anyone who want to discuss about one of my thread closure via PM to contact me. It will be a pleasure to explain my action to you. :)

Braindead 15-04-2005 08:09 PM

* you should.
* you should not.
* you should.
