I love flash files. They were the tool behind many of the very greatest, most creative and
groundbreaking art, movies, and games on the internet. And most importantly, all during a period
of the internet where freedom and originality flourished in ways which are mostly gone today.
However, the death of the format has sadly doomed a lot of this entire cultural era to obscurity,
and nothing has really managed to fill the place it occupied.
My request would be that if you have a collection of /f/lash which you feel others might enjoy or
is worth sharing/preserving - maybe you could upload it to MEGA or some other file sharing site
and post it here. Then we could all browse it, discover or rediscover something great, or just
reminisce ITT. Music, games, humor, shitposts, crusty compressed videos, anything at least
somewhat entertaining or significant. They don't have to all be high works of art - a static
image and a loop of music can be surprisingly impactful.
And I love /f/ for this reason, it's led me to discover some great (and forgotten) music and art
thanks to anons with great taste, who've managed to create, juxtapose, or simply share things
with others, all using a largely dead format.
You could also post any online collections/directories of flash files you feel are worth sharing.
For example, here's a collection of flash from 2ch from around 2000-2008:

Semi-related, but I just learned that not one, but two entire projects to play flash in-browser
are actively being developed right now. One of them (Ruffle) is even getting some serious
financing and is seeing some experimental usage on Newgrounds:

This is fucking great - I thought this whole idea died years ago with Shumway and Swiffy.
Furthermore, 4chan won't kill /f/ after 2020 and might start using something like Ruffle:

On it. My collection is pretty large so I'm working on organizing it. I plan on distributing it
by the 1st of December, so stay tuned.

Thebest404pageever introduced a beta ruffle page.
Unfortunately most flashes don't work yet as of now.

Hell yeah, awesome man!
You could post as a namefag, or write what filesharing site you'll use ITT so it'll be easier to
look up in the archive later.

The entire collection is more than 30 gigs, so I'll upload it to MEGA most likely.

Please don't use MEGA, they make it hard on purpose for non Apple/Win 10 users. Anybody who can
use MEGA is someone who uses a browser that will refuse to play flash, ie someone who doesn't
deserve flash.

Hmm, I assume you're talking about Linux? I didn't know people had issues on it, but hasn't
anyone made a download manager for MEGA like the ones on Windows? Those usually help with huge
files, at least.

Here ya go, OP:
http://swfchan.net/collections/f_classics--231/
The way swfchan handles downloads though means, it would take an eternity to download them all.
On the plus side it's way easier to eliminate double entries.
It's more use for browsing purposes I assume, or to see if you maybe missed a thing in your
collections.
Sadly I never got around to properly organize it, it's really more of a minefield than anything
else.
Still, enjoy /f/.
Also note that swfchan itself has a user driven "a classic" category.
