Seeing how SoF's player base has not improved during a global pandemic with several global lockdowns, people have had more important things to so than play SoF... now with summer approaching and lockdowns / restrictions easing all over the world there will be even less interest in SoF.. so its about time i come clean and apologise to you all for what i've done.
This secret has been eating away at me for years, and i vowed to keep my silence... but why? Its time to just put it out there in the open.
In partnership with Evil4n, i have been viewbotting the Community Edition thread to keep it as the number 1 most viewed thread on this forum. Simple script actually.. i have also bumped the numbers of the other CE threads on Evil4ns request.
Code: Select all
import requests as req
import threading
def viewCount():
resp = req.get("https://www.sof1.org/viewtopic.php?f=160&t=61")
while True:
x = threading.Thread(target=viewCount)
x.start()
Now comes the most embarassing and shameful secret. I have a youtube notification app running which triggers when a youtuber uploads a video about Soldier of Fortune 1. The last time this happened was when Gman made his video. I have spend around 600 euros over the years paying account websites which bypass captchas / security checks to register hundreads.. thousands of accounts here to make it seem as though users are flocking here in droves to download the SoF CE...
And for what?? to trick 1 person into downloading the game and seeing that theres no one online anyway?.... im not doing it anymore, and i apologise to those who i have tricked over the years, please accept my apology.
