Email is still being sent just fine. We were on a couple of spam blacklists, and I contested it and had us taken off.

[2015-11-17 17:34:49] <tipsy> looks like the mailserver is down [2015-11-17 17:35:04] <tipsy> :^) [2015-11-17 17:37:45] <Jattenalle> wait, it's still not fixed?
Like I said, it's been an issue for quite a while.
The mail has been non-functional for quite a while by the way (Weeks/Months+). New users never get their verification emails, and as such can't complete registration.
That topic title though... Regardless of language, do we really need to uppercase scream? I was sure this was spam and asking myself why it had so many relpies.
@capbros: Yes. It's a nice process, if people like your game, you get in. Just don't fall into the "idiot trap" of whining if people downvote something you've submitted, the market has spoken! ;)
Steam has by far the widest PC audience, and given that it has Windows, Mac, and Linux it welcomes cross-platform.
Free-to-play games, or even completely free games, can also make it onto Steam just fine.
@Sharm: You do not need a big following to get on Steam. Putting your game on Greenlight has the benefit of instant exposure, from there it quickly spreads via friends lists, "collections", and whatnot.
My game gets a few thousand views/votes per day.
@Everyone: If you submit to Steam Greenlight, keep in mind that you need to do frequent update posts on there, preferrably with screenshots and/or videos. If your game isn't ready for that, then don't rush it!

Ever since the server move.
An oversight, .org should be .com, whoops! Fixed it.

Just a heads up, the CC0 license does not require that people attribute you.
If you want to make sure people credit your work use a -BY license, for example CC-BY or OGA-BY.
Going on greenlight does not restrict you from also using other distribution channels.
Keep in mind that some distributors want exclusive deals, and having your game already on Greenlight may deter them.
@capbros: Yes.
It's a nice process, if people like your game, you get in.

I, and APIStudios, waive the DRM clause for all our CC-BY licensed assets on OpenGameArt.org
@Tap:
There was a conversation going on at the IRC at the time. No this is (sadly?) not a joke thread even if my reply was.
