I wnat to answer to you detaily but i don't have enough English skill so I explain slowly.

Quote:
If someone in Korea googles (or whatever the popular search engine in Korea is) "OOTP", does our website here not come up in the top few results?
First answer which I can say easiest.
No. both keywords "OOTP" and "Out of the park baseball" do not show this forum in Google KR.
Top of the result shows Korean Wiki site, official English OOTPD site and steam page is shown.

Since google is not primary search engine in Korea, I searched both in Naver(which most Korean's search engine), It only shows few game magazine news about OOTP and OOTP community made by Com2us is shown.

So this is No and Never. they will even don't know this great game have a great community.

Quote:
I'm curious, have you posted in that other community that this community here and OOTP25 exist?
I think It's not allowed to say about other communities even It's a official. Local rule or something. It's not sure but It's something like a rule in Korea. Say only what you can see here blah blah.

But I tried. Actually we have local Korean OOTP Community which is unofficial and annonimous. Altough It's not a major community, but still 200+ posts are comming up for every week.

We share bugs, share solutions and share some interesting reports that they study .I bet we have more studies for OOTP engine than here. (You know, Koreans are srious in their game. even It's a Single player game. They want to open informations for everything)

In there, Local community, I keep post about here, OOTP Forum.
Because If you have a bug, technical issue, suggestions, or complain, Nothing will changed in there. so I said go to OOTP Forum and say to devs. there is a Korean thread so you can even post in Korean and will more effective than say in local.
I don't know this was help or not but me who love OOTP and really want OOTP be better in future, I will do what I think right.

Anyway, since It's not major site and hard to find with simple search, still new users don't know even we have Local community in Korea.

+) Also Forum style site are not major in Korea. actually there are no Forums in Korea. We use Reddit style. This also make Korean user don't want to come here because It's not friendly and they don't want to be rude since they don't know forum rule. and they are not friendly English words too. they feel hard to read English. they will skip english haha.

For me, I also studied hard about forum. That's why I came here last year but left soon. I felt like I'm doing something wrong.

----short version----
No, you can't find OOTP Forum and Unofficial local OOTP community.
Yes, I keep say about this forum if I allowed.
-----
I want to say more but I touched Google translator words limit. So if you answer or ask something more, I will reply again.

and I know You may difficult to understand my English. than feel free to ask.
