By FalseGrace, an avid FPer.

The site www.flashplayer.com is actually an animation and gaming site. While Newgrounds.com is similar, it is often thought of as superior and therefore draws more animations and members. The forums draw many people still, and this is good and bad. While new, intelligent members are joining, many more people are joining to spam, or post things about the site's Flash works. A lot of people will join, post less than 5 times, and leave the forum forever.

One thing that some find superior to Newgrounds is a better way to talk about submissions. While Newgrounds.com relies on comments, there is an individual thread for each submission at FlashPlayer. Also, animations cannot be submitted and posted two days later. The staff views each submission and decides if it is worthy to be posted. This weeds out many animations that don't need to be posted.
