ads, spam, etc?? I'm just wondering, because sometimes I see games pop up out of nowhere to the FP. |

It's not very hard but there's a bunch of knowledge of the front page involved.
There are quite a few tricks and ways to get on the front page.
I can get on it within 30 minutes. |

My gym game got there by total accident. It was going to be a simple group-game for "We Lift"
This is what got to the front page: http://www.roblox.com/The-Roblox-Gym-Original-place?id=21575637
Had like 5500 something people in it. I didn't see it coming at all, not in that stage of development at least. I had to hire some really fast builders to get a more complex map up, then code up a storm to make it handle more players and put in a more stable statistics system, and once that was done the visits went up by about 700k (it was at 100k at the update).
It stayed in the top four for a good three weeks. Since then it's declined obviously but I had the chances to devex 1 million robux three times thanks to the game, due to bombardment of micropayments I've installed |

| You get points by killing people in the SF arena, Thane. Please go develop something worthwhile before taking jabs at my creations. |

The functionality of the playerpoints by purchase were removed around June, I must have looked over the text when I uploaded the legacy file.
Playerpoints past the V1 update were/are only rewarded in the sword fighting arena.
Forgive me for remarking your unnecessary remark torwards my overall income as a jab, a lot of *very less successful developers try to knock down my game a few notches any way they can. |

@thane You still haven't proved to me that you've done anything better or more respectable XD
You're one of those 'coders' who say they'll 'get around to' making a good game 'one day' |

| Why is this still getting replies? Stop. Thane, if you say you can make a good game then do so because wasting your time here thinking you can beat mew, without an ounce of proof that you can build or script, proves nothing. |
