I got curious about what "Clean Flash" is (and how safe it is), so I looked into it, and figured I'd post what I found here, in case anyone else is interested: Apparently Flash is still supported in China, where it can be downloaded from the official Chinese Flash site, and receives one security update per month. However, this download includes an adware program called "Flash Helper", which might contain malware. A developer decided to create the installer (from the Reddit comment), which installs this Chinese, updated version of Flash, without the adware. The code for the installer was available on GitHub. Adobe did not like this at all, and had the code taken down due to copyright infringement. (Source: https://torrentfreak.com/adobe-uses-dmca-to-nuke-project-that-keeps-flash-alive-secure-adware-free-211012/) It appears someone saved the installer and uploaded it to dropbox. The most recent Flash version (as of May 10, 2022) is 34.0.0.242 (as seen in the sidebar on Wikipedia's Flash entry), which is a newer version than the one from the installer, so I'd strongly suggest checking if you receive updates at all, or if this could potentially turn into a security risk for your computer. I guess this does seem to be the ~safest~ way to install Flash at this point in time, but I'd still encourage everybody who wants to try this to be very aware of any potential security risks you might expose your computer to. (And to keep up-to-date on any developments regarding this version of Flash.) Also, be sure to check out the (archived) GitHub download page of Clean Flash Player, which includes all the necessary information about the installer & compatible browsers: https://archive.org/details/Clean_Flash_Player_Archived

Hmm, interesting. A few follow-up questions: What operating system are you using? (I'm not sure if there are any specific issues linked to operating systems, but older (unsupported) ones like Windows 7 might have all kinds of issues.) What browser are you using? Are you using the Ruffle extension, by any chance? (Because according to this Reddit thread, score submissions don't work with Ruffle.)

Welcome (back)! This thread on the neoboards mentions the same issue you have, but it also mentions various other issues with score sending, so I'm not sure if they all have the same solution. If any, that is, because there's no actual solution in the thread, just that it might have to do with the 'stackpath' verification thing that keeps popping up (which might not be the cause of your issue, as I've only seen an annoying increase in that in the past week or so). But yeah, it'd be useful to know which games this happens with. Is there any chance you've somehow found a way to keep playing Flash games? Because from what I gather, you might still be able to play those games when you use a work-around to get Flash, but score sending no longer works. (And I feel the need to add this bit, just in case: if you are using a work-around to still play Flash games, I hope you're doing so while fully aware of the risks of using Flash now that it's no longer supported.)

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely implement the 2 week entering period - that works better for me as well. (On a related note... the round will be up a little late this week, as it's currently past midnight here, so I won't be getting around to it until tomorrow morning. (Although maybe that'd still technically be Monday for some of you, depending on which time zone you're in.) Sorry!)

Unfortunately, it's another week with only 4 entries, so I'm going to postpone the round... again. (I'm starting to get the feeling that most of the previously active Runway participants have lost interest/have other things on their mind/stopped playing/etc., so if anyone has any ideas on how to get more people interested in The Runway (again), I'm open to suggestions!)
