From the Game there is an option at the end of the game to "find out more about MSE" but when you click on it, it takes you to a this page no longer exists mse type page. Any chance you could update the link from the games. Thanks
Thanks on Spam
I know this is probably the wrong place for this but has anyone noticed how some of the people putting the SPAM on are then thanking each other to build up their THANKS to give them more credibility. Just a heads up to be careful. They know we are on to them!!!!!:mad:
