The fate of all RPG forums.. our only female members are spambots

I see. There are quite a few gaming websites linking to ours though... I checked their pageranks and they're all in the 3-5 range. These are just the most recent that visitors have come from, but there have been more in the past.

My other website is much bigger than this one and has many links from high page-rank sites (several with 6-8), yet also has a pagerank of 1/10

I added a more prominent link to the wiki.
It would definitely be really helpful if we had the link added to sourceforge.

Our page rank is 1/10. Isn't that a measure of how popular the website is across the entire internet? For something devoted to just one RPG, I don't know if we can expect any better than that.

That's true, having an inaccurate weapon early on can be bad. I usually let the puppy take on the hedgehogs, or just kick them, instead of trying to hit them with my ungainly halberd.

Inaccurate weapons (e.g. halberd) usually have greater damage. Accurate weapons (e.g. whips) have lower damage but a higher chance of a hit, and better chance for dismembering /beheading. If you enchant a whip +5, its damage will be comparable. Or, if you enchant a halberd +5 it will now not only have a ton of damage, it will also be very accurate. So I actually prefer inaccurate weapons, because once they are enchanted, they become accurate while still offering greater damage.

Oh and by the way, you may notice some links look like this:

While others look like this:
http://www.attnam.com/topics/732/google-search

As you can imagine, the latter will definitely be more helpful with search engines. I just need to go through and make sure all the links are consistent.

anything you can think of relating to ivan that you're too lazy to create a new topic for?

Don't worry BDR I'm going to change it. It was sort of just a joke but I was also curious if it would have any effect.

btw, typing it not using all caps bypasses it as well.

The problem with using "Ivan" is that there are just so many different Ivans aside from the game. Of course, the official website does show up as result #2, but the rest of the results are all referring to people / companies. Maybe "Ivan rpg" or "Ivan roguelike" would be terms we should aim for

hmm.. just searched again and I see a link to the wiki on page 3, but no link to the forum so far on page 10

Yahoo has us on page 2 though

What! You can slow items?!
