you all wrote a lot, i was patient, read and listened, waited and keept reading. but in the end, i have still no clue about this "no go". is it because:
1. the game isnt available at all 2. the server capacity is reached and will the game can be downloaded somewhat later 3. i overexceeded my total download volume...?! |

It says in the FAQ what it means. It means the game is protected. However, this does not mean the game is protected indefinitely, only that it's protected for the time being and might be available once again in the future.
BTW: I wouldn't worry too much about any d/l limit  I never heard of such a thing around Abandonia.

Another point that a lot of people ask themselves is, why did we bother to add those entries in Abandonia if we can't download them?
The answer is simple: unless I am mistaken, no entries were ever made when the game wasn't available for download. All the NO GO games were freely distributed at one point in time on this site. We then keep the review up for informational purpose and to preserve the work done by the contributers. |

Wouldn't it be possible to make the NO GO! icon which, when clicked, would upon up a new window/tab right at the FAQs? Hopefully these noobz will stop posting crap like this on the forum then!

why not just put a brief list of rules at the top of each forum directory or when they go to post a message put the rules to the left or right of the posting box?

The newb question before: "wtf is dos box and does it run on win xp?"
The newb question now: "omg wtf is this no 90 icon i cant download this game help me" Anyway... I have an idea. Why not kinda make an auto PM (pop up upon forum access) to all new users that reads "Before you post any problems with DOSBox or the site in particular (like not being able to download game X) read the FAQ"
