Topsites.moddb.com

The CNC:Generals topsite, you would notice "Generals Factory" on that listing. Lately it has been one of the top ones up there. Now, click the link...you'll find that not only does the site have nothing to do with Generals modding...but, it actually isn't really a site at all! All it is, is a link to some cheap page that says "buy generals now, buy it here, blah blah". I pm'd 1 or 2 staff members about this...but I figure I should post it here as well.

Are you high? It isn't even a site! Its just a stupid page made by someone to sell some copies of the game.

if they arent actually cheating the topsites by illegally racking up visits, nothing can be done about it

Why can't it be manually removed? I mean we are only about 1 step away from people making "generals site" banners...then linking them to porn sites. By your rules, that would be perfectly allowed.

Its pretty odd to say the least. Its not a Mod Link. Its not a Link as in to a community site or anything.

Its serves no purpose or help to the community or modding community! Its like having Amazon on here.
