Constantly use the preview button to save your work. It creates a new link of sorts which allows you to ctrl + shift + T to get it back.

Thats what I do.

Always, always hit preview a few times while working on a long message to not lose your work.

Here's a tip:
Don't make your first game the biggest. Don't kill a snake before you know it won't kill you.

Hope I helped! Even though I've only posted one game, I get the idea of things.

I don't know if this is the right place but it's the closest I could find.

In the Arcade, there's this game called The Great Necro Game. The only problem is, Lokiben, the original OP hasn't been on this site since April this year and I just sorta took over unofficially.

Now here's where the problem arises. Because Lokiben isn't active anymore, the records on the OP are very dated as many people have already passed my top record since it's been last updated. I've been casually keeping a speadsheet of everyone's records and I've been updating them as each new post has been made.

So, for those who have posted and made a record there, I got a question I want to bring up:

1. Do you think that I could adopt that thread/game as an official host? If not, should the records at least be updated in the OP?

I would contact the mod Arckas, and see what he says as I wouldn't be able to change anything.
