Yes, I'm afraid it's my fault. :(

The thing is when new versions are released, the filename is always the same and I didn't think of it much so I just added the version to the filename. Too lazy to fix it or think about it at the time because the currect version is above the file description anyway I thought but still, I agree that what I have done is completely fooly and moronic! :mrgreen:

I will try to fix it in the coming weeks. Please accept my apologies for this mess. :oops:

No, no, no-problemo, now that casual visitors can read and understand why there only looks to be
variations in the text, of the versions shown.
You shouldn't feel it's mor-"!" at all!

We have been hosting your Unofficial Windows 98 Second Edition Service Pack for a while now. It's a pretty popular download on our site. Think we could be added to your list of mirrors? Our server is very fast. Great work, by the way.

@OlderGeeks.com,

Dear Randy,

Absolutely not a problem from our side but please wait a while until we get an OK from PROBLEMCHYLD.
We are not allowed to alter anything unless approved by the thread owner, PROBLEMCHYLD. :mrgreen:

Thank you for your interest in techtalk.cc and foolsdesign.org. :relaxed:

Yo! Randy,
You should read this! No offence but man oldergeeks.com's forum is moronic!

I personally strongly recommend and hope that PROBLEMCHYLD does NOT give an OK for a mirror over there. Of course, it will not stop you from mirroring it but still, I hope he doesn't give any official OK because man, I almost cried seeing your Web site! You should be ashamed of yourself for publishing it in this way! ::thumbdown:: :evil: ::thumbdown::

Fool's design,

I respectfully withdraw my request. I was not aware of the level of maturity associated with this forum. I would recommend, perhaps, a cleaning of your users. I am concerned that some individuals could be hurting the respectability of your otherwise honest, hard work. Have a nice weekend!

Sincerely,
Randy

Dear Randy,

You shouldn't mind the drama. Let the kids play! :P

We moved the two off-topic posts into that other thread to prevent the "Unofficial Windows 98 Second Edition Service Pack" going too much off-topic.

Very briefly, this place is the opposite of all the other forums out there. We do not "clean" any members for speaking their mind. If he dislikes your Web site, then so be it. It is his opinion. He posted it in the correct place for discussing such matters in the "Fool's design, editorials", including screenshots which prove his point in his opinion.

That being said, it is very hard to "clean" the founder (yes, he is the founder) out of his own Web site.

To everyone, including "!", please keep your discussions about oldergeeks.com to that other thread.

Thank you. :relaxed:
