Your games may be being used for profit.

Basically, there's a website out there that's using freeware Game Maker games so that they can profit off of advertisement.

The website is

http://www.noodan.com/

Examples of GM Games on there are:

http://www.noodan.com/page.php?id=2275

http://www.noodan.com/page.php?id=2374

http://www.noodan.com/page.php?id=704

and I can go on.

I'd suggest checking to see if your game is on there or not if you want it to be removed.

They can be contacted at:

http://www.noodan.com/mailsend.php

Contacting them politely will get your game removed, quickly and with no hassle.

Why should you care? Take note, this is a horribly exploitive website using advertisement with Disney characters, almost-naked anime chicks with most of their breasts exposed, pokemon, ect that has nothing to do with the links they link to for profit. Your game is putting cash in their pockets.

You have a good point about them making profit from our (I know my game Nukem Dead is on that particular website) games, This would be an extremely big issue had I been making a profit from any of my games.

Nukem Dead has been rater over 1500 times on a similar website but the way I see it is I make my games for people to play and they're probably getting played a lot more because of sites like that one.

My god, that site has a ton of ads. I can barely even navigate it.

Phil, I see it the same way too, however, when you have a site like that literally throwing ads around everywhere to where it's a pain, then I have a problem. I don't mind if a normal site posts my game, but when a site with so much ad abuse does and they're clearly making a large profit off of others backs, then I do have a problem.

Better make a news post so that people can lose their sanity.

I'm going to let another admin do it so I don't get yelled at by certain members

What's with all the freaking hentai,

kafeithekeaton 17 years, 6 months ago

It deserves it but I'd advise against it. I contacted them on it and they were civil with me and quickly removed it. I was surprised and pleased at the speed of their response.

And, technically it's not hentai since it's not showing "anything", but, yeah, it's still pretty bad and quite ridiculous. It's just an advertisement ploy to get perverts to click the link. I hovered over the links to see to what they led and it was just several game sites. The other sites themselves though don't seem to have any control over the contact of the ads linking to them.

I'd like to know where the games are…I just see a bunch of flashing crap

How'd you find out about this?
