Over the years some of my flashes have gotten a lot of attention from other flash communities besides Newgrounds. Some sites even asked me to upload my flashes in their animation pages and I appreciate that, but recently my latest flash, Four Swords Misadventures 4, has been banned from a site known asFlash Portal.

The site hasn't given me a reason for this. Their rules normally state that if their staff likes the animation, then it'ill be posted on the site. They accepted the previous 3 episodes last year and they're not accepting part 4 now after so much fan demand? Bullshit! Whatever their reason is, it's their loss...
Looks like my fans in that site aren't going to enjoy the rest of my series.

This is one good damn reason why I prefer Newgrounds much more than any other site. Here we let the Users decide what stays and what goes and that's how things should be in a TRUE flash portal. What does everyone think of this?

Over the years I've gotten a lot of questions based on flash, like where to get the program, how to animate sprites, how to import items, and even some who desperately ask me to teach them flash. But to be honest I'm not very good at explaining this stuff. Just because I know flash doesn't mean I can teach you guys. I just don't have the time (nor the patience) for that lately. It's not easy for me to explain it through email or messenger.

That's why I recommend visiting the Flash Tutorials Page.
It explains almost everything you need to now like:
-where to get a free trial version of flash.
-An introduction of how flash works
-animation tutorials.
-sprite Tutorials
-Game Tutorials
-Button Tutorials
and much more.

I learned a lot from some of these tutorials and and the rest was pretty much Trial and error for me.
You need to play around with the program to fully understand how it works. I know it may sound frustrating, but flash isn't easy to use the first time around.Believe me.

I understand the popularity that is YouTube and all, but can someone give me a reason why flashes should be posted there? I still think YouTube is a site for "Videos" only, but that's just my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I love that site too, yet I find it unfair that some fans upload my animations there and don't bother to give me credit at all. This leads to the fact that most viewers are easily confused by the person who uploaded the animation and think that the very same user made it. I've seen it happen...

The additional popularity is OK, but I want an actual reason for this. What motivates you guys to steal & post from NG & from other sites and post it on YouTube? Can't people be original for a change?

I'm not looking for the typical "...because it's cool" answer (which is very common and n00bish). All I want is a clear explanation from the users here in NG too.

I'm asking this out of curiosity.

I'm noticing a few users lately that are leaving good reviews, yet are giving me a 0 as an overall flash score.

The constructive criticism is alright, but it also helps to VOTE properly... Logically speaking, Positive reviews with low scores aren't very helpful to the author(s).

Please include a proper score with your review, otherwise the review itself won't be appreicated.

I will be looking for more voice actors on occasions, however, I'm normally looking for actors who are 16 or over and with some kind of experience.

I'm not going to accept 14 year old noobs who "think" they can act, yet don't know how to use an audio program or don't know how to send me their audio files (through email, DUH). I've seen this happen in the past & I don't want it to repeat itself again.

That's why I'm looking for people who DO know about this stuff. You know what I mean?

I'm not looking for anything specific, just send me your impersonations by email (Hadouken_dude1984@yahoo.com) and improvise with your own ideas. I'll later decide if you're chosen or not. It all depends on your voice.
