I uploaded it yesterday, and people need to download it as soon as possible. It is Remnants Beta 12.

Meh. If they really needed to download it as soon as possible you could always place it in your udogs folder like you did with the betas before 12.

No, my hotline client doesn't work on this computer (the only one I have access to), and frogblast won't work either. It isn't like I'm uploading porn, I'd just like people to be able to see my map on the tain and download it.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be approved. I'm just saying that the Tain relies on people to check for updates and approve them, while the udogs hotline doesn't. So if you really needed something uploaded and ready to be downloadable right off the bat, the Tain isn't aways that quick.

Upload to hl.udogs.net and put a tinyurl.com URL in the field in Fear so people can find your beta plugin.

1. I doubt it's an emergency

2. This weekend is a national US holiday. Most paid workers have the 3 day weekend off. Expect non-paid volunteer staff who work at the tain to take at least as much time off. If it was CRUCIAL you should have uploaded BEFORE the holiday weekend.

3. Probably the Tain mgmt is taking a while because they are trying to confirm that you are the _real_ Zak.

I can be a real prick if you want, personally I thought I was being completely civil. I said please, didn't call anyone names, made my request and explained my situation. Sorry if I don't see the point in forcing people to wait for their plugin to be approved before other people can download it.

Anyways, thanks for doing that eventually.

Seems you placed your plugin under the TFL section instead of the SB one. Plus your group's web page links to a porn site. Defeats the point of not needing approval debate. :?

I've deleted the link to the porn site.

Please read the "Abuse" section at:

http://tain.totalcodex.net/legal

In summary, don't do it again. Or you'll face consequences such as account deletion and your items never being listed on The Tain again.

Well, being a real prick would be ONE way to make sure your maps don't get approved. ever.

Seriously, lose the friggin attitude Zak - you KNOW the tain is a VOLUNTEER site and it's a 3 day weekend people MIGHT not b e sitting in front of their computers all weekend, and you still got it approved by the next day, so just don't be a prick to people who are doing you a favor. It's just bad form.

I understand that.
