Because that would take too long.  Plus, as Omega says, it's probably illegal!  There is a link to the Mozilla website from that warning page.

Maybe you could include Glest installation instructions?

Good idea. My coding sucks, I don't suppose any of you know someone with more experience? :D

its about sending a signal that we as a communty do NOT support false infomation, or virus. and i seriously think that you are misguideing people with that.

and imo 90% of all virus can be avoided by common sense. .ei, hey cool this site just randomly offered my a .exe file lets click on it!, or just turn on your anti virus when you surf "adult" sites. :D

(that the common user then is too stupid to get this is just bad mojo.)

We don't supply viruses. But microsoft does! If you don't have a virus on your computer, you won't see that message. This is a LEGIT virus check. It checks for a common, hard to remove virus known as IE.

Serious Stuff:
-Lua page is almost done
-Archives are complete and FULLY AUTOMATED. You can post your own articles, and I added a small degree of formatting using Regular Expressions*. Articles are posted instantly, and it is possible to report bad topics. Porn and spam checks are in place by checking for common pornographic words and preventing the post if any occur. Fully made by me, with tons of very professional code. Using my own automation, filtering, and parsing code.
-GAE page is done, and more acurate than all the wiki pages on GAE put together (though shorter and GAE only). Some errors have been fixed. Still to do the MDC. Full syntax highlighting.
-Install instructions to be added. I'm copying and pasting the linux ones, since I got 0% nowledge, and no plans on touching this HDD wiping stuff until I get an external HDD to back up on first.
-other minor changes underway
-stylesheet modified to change link style. No longer easily confused with bolded text (bold darkblue comic sans ms)
-still gotta do ads. So little time...

Honestly speaking, the whole topic violates people's number 1 right. Choice. We cannot take people's choice away for things (with some exceptions, such as homosexuality, terrorism, abortion, spinach, etc;).

Heh... ::)

You are welcome to use any browser you want. I won't mess with that choice. However, viruses don't count as browsers.

Yes, but calling names doesn't count as an argument.

Though I have to agree with modman that proper debates shouldn't include blatant insults, I don't think that gets Microsoft off the hook for their terrible programs.  I mean, who uses Paint?  Internet Explorer?  No one, that's who.

i agree with Coldfusion, user may think ur a stuck up loser when they see that, on the other hand they may think u have an awesome sense of humour :P

I'm not going to remove the IE warning, but I think I'll tone it down a bit to a 'this browser is disfunctional, please try firefox' style error. I have a membership on one of these firefox promotion sites, and I'll use the special images they use, but at the same time trying to keep this looking like IE style warnings!

Status: most of the MDC is done, the lua is done, instructions page is done, parsing code is improved. If you have something to request, DO IT NOW!

And no more offtopic. Not here, please!

Yeah. The install instructions are simply the windows install for vanilla glest and GAE, and dito for the linux (though the 'compile from source' method is for gae 0.2.11). On that same page is how to install tech trees, maps, tilesets, scenarios/tutorials (both GAE and glest).

I also added rollover images for many links.

Images aren't working for Map Makers Guide or Fan Art (and maybe other areas.)

No? Gee, must take a look at that.

I need to find a PHP script to download the entire site (and all sub dirs) by placing it into a zip folder. I think I got one, but gotta get it uploaded...

I was going to upload BETA release codename dark2light, but my site's down! >:( >:( >:(

Very annoying, so now it must wait. Oh well, it could have been worse (I think?)

Yehaw! I finally found a method of uploading that will work now! FTP!

Using fireFTP, I managed to upload a sample page. The only problem is that I must use my personal computer, and you all know how bad my access is to high speed... Maybe I should travel more? :D

Hmm... google time.

YES!

http://www.net2ftp.com/

I think this will do. I haven't tried it yet, but let's keep our fingers crossed!

I use FTP Commander, it's always been good to me. I keep it on my thumbdrive so I have it anywhere I go. It saves the server settings so even if I use a different computer I don't have to worry about the passwords, server names, settings, etc.

In the future, I hope to also make a new layout for the site.

But what? I've been browsing template sites, looking for ideas, but not so sure. Anyone got a good idea? I can make something from scratch.

As well, I need to get started on a roman sub-site for the roman tech tree. Still need some good ideas. I can imagine a basic layout in my mind that will have two columns on the sides that would look pretty cool. What about the rest though? Anyone wanna draw some concepts? I'll credit you!

Note the data for GAE is being used a bit different to how it was in the previous version if you weren't aware already.

Yes. It will need an update. Once I get it up, hopefully someone will be able to show which parts need to be changed. I really got no clue how linux works...

Will try that. I'm on http://www.websitetemplates.org/ right now... But what about ideas? I need some good idea in the event I decide just to go by my own thoughts (likely).
