Hows anyone supposed to write a guide when boomkick is all over it like that, I have worlds 1-3 written up and boom beat me too them xD. I got to add my 2 cents though so it all works out in the end.

Great idea for the drawing, seems like a good way to get some members, I hope this gets bigger, I've been here since there was about 10 of us and I can already see some growth happening.

yea boomkick nailed the guides, but you are more then welcome to post your version as well.

other things you can post for guides, are things like suggested character builds, NPC guides, PvP strats, boss strats, etc...

The idea of the contest is to attract new members, and although I am unsure if its really working yet, we will see. The way things are looking though is we have a few that are trying to 'increase' there chances by making several accounts using different IP's and email addresses. We will filter through them before the drawing to make it a fair deal for those that are following the rules of it. Once we kick on our proxy IP finder, we will know who is who, and if anyone did do this. And in all honesty, I havent seen a proxy IP that got through my real IP finding program yet. Also, I have tie's with several proxy IP servers, so it helps when tracking them. Also the programmer that made this program also helped in making the top proxy security programs on the net, so nothings going to get past us on this... =P


But definitely feel free to post your version of the guides, you never know, they might be easier for some people to follow then boomkicks, or might hit points that he didn't hit as well.

what about ISPs with dynamic outer IP addresses?

what about ISPs with dynamic outer IP addresses?

it recognizes them via ISP. in the end though, your computers IP address doesnt change...

[Shimizoki]

Ive never tried to set up a proxy IP filter, just wanted to help to makesure that you had all the angles. I see that we are at 70 members, we only need 5 more to set up this contest. Congratz, it seems like we are growing.
