Where's my flash? 2009-01-03 18:46:33 Reply

I uploaded my flash to the portal, I went to the portal, there it was. About 2 to 3 hours later I go back to the portal and IT'S GONE! I went to my profile page, it said I hadn't uploaded anything. I tried to upload the flash again and it said there is already an identical flash file on Newgrounds.

So where did my flash go? :^(

It was blammed. If it gets less than 1.60 after 200 votes, it is deleted from the NG server. You can not upload it again with the same file since NG assumes you have not edited it at all.

Try improving on your flash. Read the reviews, if any (find the name of your flash here, and check out the comments left), and pick up on the main problems raised, and then try to edit your flash to improve it. Publish it under a new file name and try uploading it again. If that doesn't appeal to you, try making something entirely new. Either way, don't give up. It happens to the best of us when we start out.

Listen, trust me. Don't give up! I cannot stress this enough. Back in the old days, 11 months ago, I submitted a flash to NG. It was subsequently blammed. I quit NG for 3 months. When I came back, I submitted something new. It got through, but barely (1.80). Over the next 6 months or so, I kept on improving, and by November, I was churning out things getting 3.20 - 3.50.

And the moral of the story is: Never give up on your dreams.

You should check it in the obituaries to see the score it had and read the reviews.
