“Flash” sub-forum

31.07.2008 Ivan Zykov

Dear friends! We have about 2.5 thousand users on our site already, mostly flashers. At our forum we often have to answer questions about Flash in general, not about Alternativa3D, and it’s not bad. We created “Flash” sub-forum for such questions, so we can discuss “around-flash” topics, and we’ll try to help with suggestions and recomendations there.

We’re sorry for communication delay last week, we were in process of a moving to the new office. It is well known that move is worse than fire. We hired moving company, cleaning company, but miracle didn’t happen and we were slightly paralized for a week.
