I hope the firey reaches of hell come up and painfully murder everyone who made this game. You get us addicted and than we need more, and than we need to register, and than you make the codes 'temporary' and than we have to register again until were broke, and were stealing from out friends and family or mugging people on the street to get our fix of Pop-Pop. People in dark alleys will lure young children with false 'MacWorld Pop-Pop CDs' and rob them of everything but their clothes, or sell fakes for outrageous prices.

(anklebiter here, the first paragraph (above) of Jalai's post is being sarcastic and not to be taken seriously)

Yea anyway, my problem is that Pop-Pop seems to be bugged for MacOS X. Every once in a while when I play the paddle wont charge and the magnet wont work, and I will have to restart my computer. Also, there is this issue on the tracker with games. I make a new game and if my last opponent leaves the tracker than it says 'newbiePop-Pop' your opponent has left the game! and I have to make a new game. Please wave your wands and make a patch. Thanks.

Uh, the codes are temporary to prevent piracy. And if you haven't enterd your code in 30 days, then you don't want this game.
And it only tells you if the code has expired if you re-enter it for some reason. Even then, getting a new code is fast and free.

As per your question, try turning off background applications.
Also, if your opponant leaves the game before you start, just spend 5 seconds to make a new one.

Thank you Captain Obvious, incase anyone else missed the general mood of the post it was sarcastic and not serious. And if anyone would care to respond to the second half I would be most grateful.

There is some polishing left to be done to the game, but over all it is a really nice fit. I have been playing game after game, and the minor issues have not stopped the fun from happening and happening.

It is impossible to read "sarcastic and not serious" in your post, so I think YOU had better learn to add a few smilies, or do the <sarcastic> tag when you mean it.

And, regarding your second half - regarding your paddle problems it was responded to by me in the OTHER message you posted on it. Don't ask the same thing twice...

The THIRD question in your post regarding new games - all DEMO players can only play one net game - then they are disconnected. If you want it to stop -encourage them to register. If you want it to stop for yourself - register.

In theory - I agree with your comment though - If I'm a registered player hosting a game - and a DEMO player connects, once their one game is done THEY should have to reconnect - MY game should stay hosting until I stop the host.

Clear enough? Hope that helps...

For the record, that was taken seriously due mainly to the fact that a lot of people don't understand that part of the registration process; I've seen several people get pissed off about having to register multiple times, only to get explained to them how the process actually goes.
