    It's purely down to the colour scheme.

    It really is a mystery why a forum dedicated to megaman isn't popular, isn't it?

    If I had to summarize, I would say that it was the first robust flash resource on the net. It filled an area of demand at the time and built up a large user-base. Once that happens, forums tend to roll on for a long time with a life of their own.

    These folks made it so popular. Well, them, and the yellow.

    Have a Flash Resource that you would like to share with the Flash Kit community?
    Simply fill out the form here and it will be available for everyone to see and use.

    Largest Flash resource at the time, coupled with a huge community, it just cant be beat when you are really looking for help.. on a WIDE variety of topics..

    The collective brain trust of Flashkit.com is a HUGE 'crutch' for me.. Ive grown to be dependent on Big Yeller`.

    Keep in mind too that the site was way different in the early days.

    Dude, your forum looks like its been around for a few weeks.

    I joined flashkit in 2000, and it was really busy then.

    That's one reason this forum is so exciting compared to yours. I can think of a few more, but I'm not that cruel.

    1) It got popular because FLASH got popular?
    2) And the free toaster.
