The is actually a good question for staff to consider and work on now rather than react to later when it becomes broken.

Re: Rip Flash

I always wondered why even remove support. What's so bad about it now that they must remove it? Any modern site has pretty much wiped flash off the face of the earth.

I don't see why they don't keep the feature so users, who wish to access legacy sites, still be able to navigate/use said site.

Re: Rip Flash

Well RIP Flash.

It actually saddens me to see this. I don't see the point of removal since its necessary to run legacy sites like what Charu said. Internet nostalgia intensifies

Re: Rip Flash

pretty sure they removed it because of security issues

Re: Rip Flash

We should probably make sure we have video of some of the old flash animations that are worth keeping

I haven't been on Newgrounds in forever and a day, and I'm the users there are probably already doing this but like

I kind of feel like it's worth checking in and seeing what all has and has not been archived; there where more sites then just Newgrounds ya'kno?

Also what I really am concerned about is Spin it UP!

Re: Rip Flash

fyi, with regard to FFR.
If no action were to be taken by us, only the browser game-play would be lost.
Air is safe, for now.

let it die tbh

EDIT: talking about browser of course

Re: Rip Flash

Heh, first post and hi all

Yeah I've heard of some sort of security issue that comes from Flash and android plain do not support it at all. It was like that for some time when I last tried to run a wordpress blog and looked up a little bit about building a website.

But anyways, since its an issue for some time, I guess developers here would have known it already.

Here it is

Browser makers were years ahead of Adobe's announcement because Flash is seen as a general security problem. They've already initiated efforts to restrict Flash from running in browsers, except with user consent.

Google "Flash not supported". I can't post url yet
There's a link to redmongmag over in the result

Re: Rip Flash

I've been noticing this has been popping up every time i open my browser, how will this effect FFR? Since replay's are saved as flash o.o;

The same reason why old computer games don't have backwards compatibility, probably.

because legacy applications are a massive threat. need I remind you that FFR has been hacked twice now due to security vulnerabilities caused by legacy applications?
every software company needs to do this, forcing users off of an archaic technology might cause some growing pains but it's ultimately for the benefit of the users

old computer games don't work on new computers because those old computer games use technology doesn't really exist anymore? you can't run dos games on windows 10 because windows 10 neither contains dos nor emulates it. they don't really pose a security threat, for a number of reasons

fortunately, emulation of old computer games is incredibly easy to do

Re: Rip Flash

So like, does this mean fiffer will be uber-exploitable? I still don't understand how this impacts the game itself if everyone uses a stand-alone.

I kinda wanna play again someday too but getting the game to run well is impossibly frustrating

exploitable how so? as in cheatable?

no matter what, if someone is able to achieve a legendary tier score, theyll be met with scrutiny and be forced to prove their claims, whether its a liveplay or even the oldschool "xD post ur ini"

Rhythm games aren't the sort of game where cheating is actually relevant at all, imo, but im sure it does happen.

also man just play etterna, itd be sick to see some of ur acc scores in etterna, I watch this vid all the time lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ucHb7upg0s its my favorite stepmania file/chart, I know for sure u can quad this shit
