There are a couple of ways that I know of that people use to get AGs exclusive content outside of AG. I'm not going to sit here and say exactly how, because that would obviously worsen the problem.

If more information is needed about how this is being done I will gladly post with the information.

I just thought I'd let you know that people are messing with the .sol files(The 2 techniques I know of really aren't that hard) to access your exclusive content without visiting the site. The purpose of the exclusive content is to get more visitors to the site, so I figure the more people find out about this the more this site will suffer.

Just tryin to help! Let me know if any additional info is needed or anything :]

I don't think that's so important, AG is big and if a website steals from it, it's surely not big enough to hurt AG

Sorry for double post! Edit button pl0x.


I forgot to even ask if there was anything that could be done. I have no idea whatsoever if it can be prevented if people are going so far as to edit .sol files :[

If people are willing to go through the trouble of hacking games to avoid visiting the site, uhm...

Honestly that's just silly. Not sure whether it's a problem or not, I just think it's absolutely ridiculous to waste time hacking when you could just find the game on AG.

maybe you should put it in simpler language or as you smart call it the stupid language. because i have no idea what you guys are saying. so like some websites are trying to steal things from AG. or is it the other way around. be more specific

If a website is stealing from AG, it's obviously a small website, cause he can't produce or pay for his own content, it can't actually hurt AG

If Newgrounds or Kongregate were stealing from AG, then it would be a big deal

Alright, here's an example for those who don't seem to grasp exactly what I'm saying.

I play on Kongregate as well as AG. Say I wanted Sonny 3 badges, but I wanted to use the locked class that is only available on AG(I forgot which one it is that's locked ). I can do something that will make it so that I can get my badge on Kong with the content that is supposed to be exclusive to AG.

I totally agree Zophia, I was shocked when I found out this was happening on Kong.

Well I don't see any problem actually...it's just wasting people's time when a simple sign-up would suffice.

Yet it doesn't do any harm, seeing AG membership is free, so no real and harmful problem there....

I had no idea you were talking about Kongregate, I never thought a big website would do something like that
