There's a link on the front page of the underdogs, in the updates area, that's supposed to link to Caravel DROD 1.6 - at least on my computer I get to an error page (that opens some annoying pop-up ads).

Erik - I think you should write the webmaster there (since you seem to already have some sort of communication going with her) and let her know.

It should be pointed out that searching for DROD does work, she just must have mistyped the link out.

Game on,

True - but people who know nothing about DROD might not be motivated enough to search after they see the link is bad; on the other hand, I always follow all the new links whenever they are available to see if I'd like the game, and I'm sure I'm not the only person who does so.

Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with you, I was just pointing out that DROD is still there even if the link is broken. Hopefully if it gets fixed soon not too many people will notice (or she will also include it in the next update), since the site is updated so sporadically people probably don't check too often.

Game on,

Thanks for the tip, Eytan. I e-mailed her, and hopefully it will be fixed pretty soon, and we'll get a nice traffic spike from the Underdogs.

Update: The link is now fixed.
