Becoming a member of the Wolfire Secret Preorder Forums.
By Chief Bromden
I have noticed that many of people, especially Steam users have had trouble becoming a member of the Wolfire Secret Preorder Forums (SPF) on the Wolfire website (Wolfire is the company responsible for Overgrowth and other games), so I have created this guide to help those people connect to the Wolfire SPF.

PLEASE NOTE
This may not work for OSX users as they do not have a CD Key button on their version of Steam, but if you can do it and you are on OSX, could you please let me know by commenting on this guide.

UPDATE
On Mac, using Winetricks works perfectly. Just install Steam through winetricks, and follow the steps below. You don't even have to install Overgrowth again!

Step 1
Make a Humble Bundle account at the Humble Bundle website[www.humblebundle.com], verify it and make sure you are logged in to the account for the process of these steps.

Step 2
Make a Wolfire account at the Wolfire Forums website[forums.wolfire.com], verify it and make sure you are logged in for the process of these steps.

Step 3
Go to you Steam library and click on Overgrowth, then go to the column on the far right that has things like DLC, Community Guides, etc and the will be a link that says CD Key.


Click the CD Key link and a box will pop up, then on that box click the button that says 'Copy Key to Clipboard'.


This will copy the CD Key so you can paste it anywhere else. Then go to http://www.wolfire.com/spf. There will be a box that says Alpha Key to the right of it and Submit to the left, paste the key in the box then click submit.

Step 4
After completing step 3, you will then arrive at a page of the Humble Bundle website that will say 'Thanks for Purchasing Overgrowth Alpha (DRM-Free)!'. Click on the top right hand corner of the white sheet of the page that says claim this page.


This will stop other people from going on this site and finding your key. Click on the part of the page that says 'Click here for your Preorder Forum access key.'


Copy your code on the Humble Bundle page. The code will also have a link, click the code and it will take you to a new page, but make sure you are logged into your Wolfire account so you will be able to complete the process.
Step 5
The code that you clicked in step 4 will take you to - http://www.wolfire.com/spf/redeem/ (after the slash after redeem it will be followed by the code you clicked). Read the text if you want and scroll down to the part that has a box that has 'Username' to the right of it. Enter the username of your Wolfire account and click submit. I have already done these last few steps so I can't go through this last part again, but after you click submit, you have access to the SPF. Enjoy!
Conclusion
Thank you for taking a look at this tutorial, if you have any questions be sure to ask me in the comments section below, I will try to respond to everything I can. If you have anything to add or want me to fix, leave a comment and I will take a look at it and take into account what you have said. Feel free to give this guide a rate. I hope this worked for you, it did for me and a few other people I know of.

micetice12 I'm not really sure what you're asking of me but it seems like you think I'm one of the games developers or something. I'm definitley not.

There is no CD key link like in the screen shot.

VdtheKing, you just get access to the Wolfire Secret Preorder Forums. Nothing changes with the game itself if that is what you are confused about.
