There were about 7 actual downloads in that log.

robots.txt was not enabled? uh-oh.

I'd assume that it has been blocked?

So all the people *coughGizJshcough* who renamed their games to start with an * or and 'a' so they could get more hits can change the game name back?

And yes, I did it with S.III. v SBA, but that was more of a test, I didn't name ALL my freaking games that, or the ones on the top 25 for that matter.

Ah well.

If I may note, Shadow, I didn't change all of my games, merely most of them. And I didn't change them to AAA or anything, I spaced them out over a space, to see how many more hits they'd get depending on how far back they were. The result was surprising, in that one or two in the middle didn't get as many hits at the ones at the top of the list, and the ones at the very end of the list. This is the "Experiment" I've rambled about in IRC for a bit.

Haven't been on IRC recently, so I wouldn't know.

Also, I think the problem was fixed, anyway.

Then will IM reset the DL counts?

No, IM isn't resetting the download counts. All previous downloads will remain intact, for better or worse. However, when the newer system is fully implemented (IM has already made it, you guys just won't be able to view it for a while) the Top 25 list will only show daily downloads, weekly downloads, monthly downloads and yearly downloads, with the TOTAL downloads just being there for informative purposes (For those curious types).

I added an * to the start of my game's title to boost my download count.

Oh, and I'm sorry if I hurt anyone during my coherent, well-spelled rampage last night. It was my first time posting ANYTHING so I wanted to get my opinion out on every subject I could. I honestly had no idea that those threads were dead.

It'd probably involve changing the way the gamelist automatically organizes its files, which I'm sure IM will consider. Also since you're reviving a thread that was dead not only once, but twice, your Afir spell has most definately expired by now. Also, putting a * at the front of your zip file also tends to corrupt it, making your game UNPLAYABLE BY OTHER PEOPLE as demonstated in this thread here.
