How do i contribute to OldVersion?

Upload software and help others!

Were not asking you to play the good samaritan! but we do know that theres alot of people out there who so desperatley need that version of software you have lying around somewhere on your computer. You see software developers mostly disregard oldversions of thier software, and that causes problems when the latest version of a particular software doesnt always work. So if you notice we dont hold a particular version of software and you have it, then why not upload it to oldversion? (Read on how to upload software below!

Become a writer:

We are currently looking for eager individuals with a love for both software annd writing! If you think you have something to share with the rest of the software world then why not head over to our blog and submit an article here

Become a financial contributor:

OldVersion.com uses over 11TB of bandwidth per month and we are rapidly growing. Our hosting bills are able to be covered through advertising revenue at the moment, so we are not at a critical level of asking for financial contributions. However, any financial contributions would be greatly appreciated and would go to financing the development of our site.
 

Blog/interview about us:

OldVersion.com has an interesting story to tell...so If you’re a journalist who is interested in doing a story on a young entrepreneur battling through the forces of time and passion to realize his dream – then maybe OldVersion.com has some value for you. We are at our best in Television interviews, although we’re happy to be interviewed on the radio (we’ve done interviews for C|Net Radio and others) or via email as well.
 

We’re open to suggestions:
