[quote]My only problem with this demo is using crappy gamespot to download it. It took me 5 hours to download the demo on a high speed connection from gamespot. Then after it's downloaded I get a corrupt file. Piece of junk gamespot![/quote] On the previous page i posted a link to the demo hosted on GamersHell, with multiple servers and usually fast download rates.
[quote]The forums are generally slow and the layout is awful![/quote] I find the layout good and only since the v1.03 patch was released (time reference) has the site slowed down. What I do hate is the white text on a black background, it kills my eyes if i read it too much.
If anyone is having problems with the demo in the link to GamersHell i provided please contact a mod (kyro for example) so that the link can be removed. Would suck if it's a bad copy and a bunch of people download the whole thing to find it doesn't work.

As i send my fleet away i begin building a second fleet that at first is a defense fleet located between my front line worlds. This defense fleet will evolv
IIRC it was kryo who told me in the sins IRC chat that the site was down due to a "DOS". I just can't figure out why this site is being targeted, nothing to really hate unless you just don't like these style of games (RTS/4X), and IC isn't running this site so they are only targeting SD even though this is the site for Sins (made by IC), not to mention what would happen should anyone find out a rival game developer/publisher was behind this.
Ok, so it's #2 BUT: 1- Digital sales not included. 2- Walmart not included. 3- Only available in North America at the moment. 4- Not much advertising/hype compared to other games. 5- New and unheard of game developer. AND no copy protection... I do believe this ends the debate that piracy is the biggest problem facing PC gaming. About time to flush the toilet of the PC gaming world and get rid of a few names and that funky smell.
DOS as in denial of service attack? Yea, out of all the websites on the net why the heck would someone go after this one?
wooo, so the more you pay the pirates, the bigger they get. This could prove VERY useful.
