I think it's fairly relevant anyhow -- but yeah you're right there's lots of sites that provide great developer incentives now. I think that's great. I just also think that Kongregate started that trend, so I give them the major props. So, I agree with you, maybe some other sites offer slightly better terms, and that's great, but until they can match Kong's size and ability to pay out, it won't matter much. I sincerely hope they do grow though, cause I'm always amped to get more revenue from other sources!

I still think it's the best in existence for devs. I'm curious about which portal you're describing. I know Newgrounds recently added ad rev share, so maybe them? I think that's nice if they also share profile and blog pages, but really that was a recent addition. Kong has always shared with devs since the beginning and has been created from day 1 with the idea that developing flash games should make more money for developers and help make it a possible full-time job for more people. Kongregate's very existence is based on being fair and supportive of developers, likely because Jim was a developer himself for so long (though not a flash developer, but a game developer and programmer.) The real truth is, if Kongregate hadn't set this standard of sharing revenue with devs, I doubt Newgrounds or ANYONE else would have voluntarily done it. They do it because they want to look as fair as Kongregate is, but without Kongregate, portals would still keep all the money to themselves. I think that is what makes them the best portal for developers. They started the trend that is making us more money. As far as non-flash platforms go. I don't really think much about that. I'm a flash dev, and have no interest in the others. I suppose you're right that they aren't as free as portals that allow those, but I think because of the low install rates of those platforms, the games would perform poorly just like Shockwave games did when Kong still was promoting those back in the early days of the site.

I posted this in another thread a second ago, but as a developer, these ads are the best thing in the world. You should see what game developer chatrooms and forums look like. They talk about Kongregate non-stop and how great Kong ad revenue is, and how they want to cater to YOU guys so that they can get high ratings here and get badges because it makes so much money from all the game plays. Kong is a major force in the flash game world and it came on the scene much much later than sites like ArmorGames and AddictingGames. In a few short years they have become the most important place for game devs to post their games on. Game devs really do make their games based on what the Kong community wants. That's got to be a good thing. These ads make us so much more money than they did back when Kong had no big ad campaigns. Back then, you might be lucky to make $300 from having a game with badges. Now my games that got badges have made $2000+ for me. That's a MASSIVE leap. If Kong keeps this up, we're going to see even more awesome developers, bigger games with more depth and gameplay, and just... more and more awesome. The ads they do are so much better than pop-ups or other intrusive adverts. They design them for the community so we can actually get benefit from them and not just money for the site. They are often fun, and promote new features. But I think the most important part is just the developer ad revenue. Devs really do think Kong is the best site on the web for flash games right now, and that's the most important thing that they could possibly achieve.

I agree that the site is doing great, and from the point of view of us game developers, all these sponsored advertisements are really really awesome. Kongregate ad revenue makes 15x more for us than MochiAds. These adverts might seem a little corporate to some people, but they make being a developer much much much much much more liveable. The fact that Kongregate is making more money for devs means more games, and more devs who are going to try and make games. Ultimately it means better and better games for you guys. I agree that they missed the mark on some of their advert campaigns, but in general, Kongregate keeps these ads relevant to the community here. L4D2 campaign is really fun, and the Stride campaign is going to give the site a bunch of awesome games! The Dragon Age campaign gave us medals, so... it's all a lot better than most sites that rely on pop-ups and really annoying ads to make money. Keep up the good work Kong, we appreciate it :) I agree that the site is doing great, and from the point of view of us game developers, all these sponsored advertisements are really really awesome.

Good ads are what makes this site free and possible. Kongregate splits it's ad revenue with developers like myself, and that makes us more able and willing to make more good games. If we don't make enough money, we can't make games as quickly or as well. Many of us are starting to develop full time instead of having a side-job, and that's why you see more and more epicly awesome games coming out compared to years ago. Kongregate's ad revenue is a big reason for that. For instance, Pyro and Pyro II both made about $10,000 total. For each of them, $2k came just from the ad revenue that Kongregate shared with me. If they didn't have these awesome ads, it would have been more like $200 each. Just be glad they can do creative ads like medals, raffles, and L4D zombie month instead of relying on pop-ups and other crappy ads that annoy the users.

I think the primary issue is the limited space on the profile, every time they add a new section it gets longer and longer, and it's already realllllllllllly long. Possibly though in a tabbed section of the achievements area. If you click on the "Medals" tab on the achievements area, it would swap to your medals.

The plugins themselves are developed by Adobe (I think!), so the question is: which browsers does Adobe care about? I think IE, Safari, and Firefox are their top priorities. IE and Safari because IE is the most widely used browser on the web, and Safari because like all tech companies, Adobe is probably filled with Apple geeks who use Safari at work and would want it to work well. Firefox also because a lot of Apple people use FF on their Macs. I don't know how they feel about Chrome, and from working at Kong I think the majority of our browser issues were with Opera and various Linux browsers including FF on Linux.

I quite agree on the chat room number. I realize the issue is that creating new chat rooms without mods to guide them causes really bad chat rooms to be formed. However, as it stands -- at peak hours you're pretty much stuck where they put you because almost every room is full. I quite agree on the chat room number.

Doesn't sound like there's ratings fraud here, but as an ex-Kong employee, I can assure you all that the admins *do* catch all games that are fraudulently rated in order to get themselves badges, contest winnings, or any sort of advantage on the site. It's quite easy to detect, and the perpetrators are banned permanently since the ratings system is so integral to the functioning of the site. As far as your other complaints go Creed -- this is personal taste. My opinion almost never matches that of the majority, but that's how things are. I don't think the site has gone downhill at all, but if you do, you may want to realize that almost everything loses it's shiny appeal after a while. When we start playing a game or using a site that we love, it can mentally do no wrong. But as time goes on, we start to get bored with it, and that's natural. The more bored you get, the more small things that wouldn't have bugged you before seem like major flaws and a sign of the decline of that site or game. But that's not really true. The truth is, people just lose their interest in things over time, it's natural. Maybe you would feel the old love for Kong if you tried using some other sites for a while.

The fact is, if you have that trojan -- even if you go to a straight up kids site like www.cartoonnetwork.com, it will show you penis enlargement ads. It has nothing to do with the site, and everything to do with the trojan. There are many spyware programs and viruses that will replace all banner ads on every website you go to with different ads for different products. These can often make the website look bad, but it is never their fault. Run some adware removers, and keep your virus scanner updated to avoid that sort of problem in the future.

Because the Internet is infamous for posts in communities like this that are often fake, but sometimes real, I'd like to take a moment to say something. If this is real, it is no laughing matter and I'm extremely concerned about someone from the Kong community and their recovery. I would like to know where I could send any sort of get-well cards or flowers or anything like that. If you could provide us with more specific details, hopefully including any sort of news articles or information about which specific hospital we can send things to, that would be good. Also for any Kong community members in the local area, would James want anyone to come visit him once he has recovered enough to have visitors? Typically a shooting of a young person would result in at least some form of news article -- especially if the shooting was unjustified and random. It's news. I'd really like to hear more about the situation so that we can put to rest the speculation of it being untrue. I would hate to see it actually be a true situation that people are making fun of, but at the same time, they are facing the reality of the Internet being a place where people tend to make these types of posts for attention.

I will make a few possible candidates and allow the Kong community to choose for me. Almost certainly all of them will be based on old cartoons from the golden age. Most likely Popeye or Betty Boop themed. Though I can't use Betty, maybe Bimbo or Koko the Clown though. I will make a few possible candidates and allow the Kong community to choose for me.

I've had a couple requests/comments to change my new Bluto avatar back to Wimpy. I'll think about it! For now, you can add this one if you'd like. I’ve had a couple requests/comments to change my new Bluto avatar back to Wimpy. I’ll think about it! For now, you can add this one if you’d like.

Mochi and Kong have a business relationship. Kong disables mochiads so that they can sell that pre-game space to their own advertisers, but Kong does promote mochiads to all developers as they upload their games, so it sends people to them. Kong also encourages all it's sponsored games to use MochiAds. Games with Mochi's coin system and microtransaction systems of any sort are not allowed on Kongregate at the moment. If you want to sell items on Kongregate, you should talk to the staff and try to get Kreds implemented in your game. Mochi and Kong have a business relationship.

Kongregate is really unique in it's simplicity. I see new sites every day that are over-the-top in complexity and style that overwhelms. Kongregate has a lot of great features packed into a simple format, and I would say based on how big it's gotten... it's a popular way to go :) Kongregate is really unique in it’s simplicity.

There's some great young devs like IcyLime, TrueDarkness, Jindo, and Nabb. Nqkoi1 is pretty young and he did the art for Shift and several other popular games at Armor Games. So start as early as you can! There’s some great young devs like IcyLime, TrueDarkness, Jindo, and Nabb.
