Heh, just because you live in NY doesn't mean you live in the city, there are tons of areas in NY that you could live in =p

Okay, I am just going to start compiling a list of birthdays, and then when we get a good number, I'll post it, and then I'll get another 10 people running after the list telling me they want on, then I'll post it again.

My birthday was yesterday :P
I went to taco bell to celebrate.

OMG YES.

Just wondering how many of you have seen this.

You have a quota to fill? Do you lose Mod privileges if you don't meet it? :p

I think it's the lack of people on summer vacation coming back that explain a drop for September's viewings.

So. Did anyone get Defcon and is anyone still as annoyed as I am with thier servers not working properly? Poor guys weren't expecting so much traffic methinks...

This thread will become full of people saying they've missed posts.

What, somebody points out that more than half of the posts on this page are pointless spam about how many posts the particular member has missed due to school/work and you attack him?

your more upset than me, either im loved or self-hating.

and most of the posts i've seen are luis appreciation posts and people who want to snuggle with him( damnit luis you got me censoring myself)

i dont know if this thread was a good idea.

Here's a thought: How many of the people in here know how to code up a basic HTML page and style it with CSS?

I was just thinking back to when I started Flash - I had no CLUE of how HTML/CSS worked, I just knew that Flash outputted a code which I could copy and paste into a free web host and I would have a website... Now I know both of these + XHTML and find it a lot easier embedding content and styling the page around the Flash (or removing it completely)

Just wondered if there's people who don't understand the basics of static sites yet but are competent flash designers.

I pretty much have no clue how to code anything. I picked up the very very basics of AS as I went along, so I know enough. if not I can just ask someone :).

I can piece together a website though through dreamweaver, so thank god for that. Otherwise i'd have to use flash which could be a pain, or use geocities page builder which KIKS ASS!

K i am gonna have to side with importentboy and others who've brought it to my attention that this thread is going out of control. If you have nothing to contribute to the general flash scene then dont post or youll get a ban for that day.. this isnt really a post your one liner when youre bored type of thing.. specially that how many pages you've missed shit. I am going to self censor myself from contributing to spam topics as well.. this is rediculous and expect a ban if you are gonna come in here and just polute.

Hey Luis, can you clarify the rule for this thread "no polling"?

I wanted to post a discussion starter but I also didn't want to break that rule. Thanks.

That's interesting, your site does look very good. However on close inspection of the source the Dreamweaver link is evident (tables for layout)

Dreamweaver isn't really that great - the code editor in Dreamweaver is very good though - if they stripped out the unnecessary crap like wizards and put their features such as code block hiding, text colouring, tag completion, inbuilt colour picker when you type 'color:', etc, into a cutdown text editor (perhaps even with live preview - but not design view) then it would certainly be a very good alternative to Notepad...

I use Tag at the moment which is a Mac program that has code colouring and live preview, but it's nowhere near as good as Dreamweaver is in terms of shortcuts...

no 'boxers or briefs?' polls or shit like that... things that dont at all engage in a valid flash conversation.. also for the people compiling birthdays just send the PM's to jmtb02 rather than making a post here.. lets try to keep this relatively easy to follow.. it doesnt make much sense for someone to goto school and come back and have 90 pages to catch up on.... general rule of thumb is if you want to speak to someone directly or comment to that one person. send a PM. unless you are following up your reply with something that can continue the conversation. Its annoying having 200 one liners.

In here, I'm aware we are all Flash authors.

One of the reasons I like making games is because I love seeing my work on famous websites.

So, here's my question to you. Of all time, what is your biggest accomplishment of getting your Flash on a website? Let me show you what I mean.

In about 6th grade, a friend showed me addictinggames.com. It was a childhood favorite of mine. I always thought how awesome it would be to see my work there one day. So in my opinion, when my first game made addictinggames, that in my eyes was my biggest Flash accomplishment.

This is different for everyone. I know some people who think getting a game on addictinggames is meaningless, and that's fine. For some people the answer to this might be Newgrounds front page, newgrounds portal, ebaumsworld (that's my second), stuff like that.

So, what is your biggest accomplishment of getting your Flash on a website?

OK... My post above isn't really like that, but if you don't like it just delete it because I'm not sure if it's a poll.

well, my biggest flash accomplishment has been... well, getting my game sponsored. Ive never even reached frontpage, so that is mostly my aim for now.

When I got Daily Fourth I was pretty excited, and dissapointed.

Couple Hours Work+Tweens+Clock/Lock+Violence+Funny Song=Daily Fourth?

Yea some small collab part I co-authored reached daily 5th. I was pretty excited at the time, but I do not like the collab as a whole, and I kinda regret having it be my first submission.

In the future, my aims and hopes would be to reach some other daily awards, as well as possibly making front page, although as was mentioned earlier, the front page standards have been progressing as artists' potentials have been.

DFox, I too admired Addicting Games as a 6th grader and still do.
