You may have noticed the rope with an "R" on it in the top right corner of this website. You might like to call it the "Random Rope" because when you pull it, it will take you to a random game! Pretty neat!

There are a few possible reasons why this might be happening. 1). The page has not finished loading yet so the form cannot be processed yet. 2). The form process was started but there was/has been network interference (eg. disconnected from internet or server issues). 3). The form requires javascript enabled in your browser. 4). Some browsers may have trouble at times using the scripting technology that this website uses. - If you submit a form and it appears to not be doing anything (or taking too long) we recommend you try reloading the page and submitting the form again to resolve the problem in most cases.

This website has been designed to function well in all common web browsers, however some will be able to display (render) this website more efficiently (eg. Firefox). We recommend NOT using Internet Explorer 7, 6 or less, as these are exceptionally problematic web browsers. We will never force you to use (or not use) a specific web browser.

We recommend (in no particular order):

We appreciate all kinds of feedback. If you have noticed a non-functional element or graphical error please do report it to us. Please also include your web browser and version (eg. Internet Explorer 8, Mozilla Firefox 3) in your message because web browsers may display content differently to one another.

A view is added when someone views a particular game, guide, screenshot, etc. For a "play" to be added, one must actually click on one of the play links of a game. Although someone may quickly close the game without playing it, it does give a better idea of which games people are interested enough in to "folllow through" and "play" it.

Yes, there are. In order to prevent flooding and spam the following limits are in place:

Games - max 30 per day.
Guides - max 5 per day.
Cheats - max 20 per day.
Screenshots - max 10 per day.
Comments - max 20 per day.
Messages - max 20 per day.
Tags - max 5 times, per day.
Flags - max 20 times, per day.
Favs - max 10 times, per day.
Friends Requests - max 20 per day.

Note: These values are subject to change. Other additional restrictions may not be listed here.

To prevent flooding and spam, you may leave 5 comments per game. Removing an old comment will allow you to add a new one. If you wish to discuss a game, please use the appropriate forum page.

To prevent flooding and spam, you may leave 5 messages per user profile. Removing an old message will allow you to add a new one. If you wish to have an in-depth conversation with the user, please consider using the built-in mail system.

We sometimes refer to messages as comments. For the purpose of managing messages and comments they are the same thing - so if you click the "Comments" link in "My Account" under "Submissions Management" you'll find your messages in there as well as your comments. We didn't do this to confuse you intentionally, it's just the way this website was designed.

Right now, you can earn money through "in-game" advertising. When someone plays your game, an advertisement will display, and if someone clicks on that advertisement you'll earn a certain amount of money. So, the more popular your game is, the more "chances" you'll have of someone clicking the advertisement - earning you more money!

We allow for the submission of games which have these advertisements on them - we want to help you earn what money you can. We believe it's only fair, since you put hard work into your game and offer it for free for everyone to enjoy.

How can you get started? Well, you should sign up right now with MochiAds - the largest ad network for online flash games. Simply create your game (if you haven't already), follow the steps provided on the website (it's rather easy), and upload your game all over the web! Best of luck!

Currently we do not, however in future it may be possible for us to offer certain "sponsorships".

We currently do not use the Auto Post feature as we wish to review each game properly to help ensure that the games we provide are both trusted as well as generally appropriate for all ages.

Levels exist to give certain benefits to Orks based on how active they are. The more active you are on the website, the more ways you'll earn experience. Each new level requires a certain amount of experience to reach, and the higher your level - the more it will benefit you.

Your level acts as a multiplier when voting on games. If you give a game 5/5 and your level is 1, then the game receives 5/5. However, if your level is 3 then that game would receive 3 times 5/5 votes. In time more benefits will be available to those with higher levels, but for the time being the benefits of higher levels are essentially the ability to influence which games are at the top, general "respect" amongst the community, and perhaps the very challenge of reaching new levels itself.

Although levels have some nice benefits, they are in no way significant to fully enjoy the content of this website.

You can earn experience by, in general, being more active around the site. Doing things such as playing a game or leaving a comment will give you a certain amount of experience. For the moment, the exact amount and the exact actions required to earn experience is a secret. One great way to earn experience is to report bugs, spam and breaches of the website rules, as well as linking to OrkGames.com!

You can add others as your friends via their profile page. When you do this, you send them a request which they must accept in order for you to become friends. You can view and manage them at any time under "My Account".

You can add others to your blocked list via their profile page or when viewing mail from them. If someone is on your blocked list any friends requests and mail they send you will automatically be ignored/deleted. You can remove them at any time from your blocked list under "My Account".

Yes, if you wish to use the forum you will need to register there seperately. You can do so here.

At this time we do not provide the ability to "link" an account at OrkGames.com with an OrkGames.com forum account. We currently have no plans to implement this kind of feature, however it is still in the realm of possibilities.

We recommend that you refer to the Help & FAQ section of the forum.

If you are registered, you can change this setting under "Other Settings" in "My Account". If you are not a registered user, you may enter your email into our blacklist so that you never receive email from us. Please visit the unsubscribe page to proceed.

Please contact us and we will undo this for you.

The original Ork Games has been replaced with the new and improved version. Many new features have been added and more will come in future.

For those who do not know, Grug Goodgreen was the original mascot for Ork Games. He has now retired and lives happily in the forest of dreams, somewhere east of heaven's lake.

Grug Goodgreen's only wish is that Ork Games continues to flourish, that more and more Orks are born and with them comes a new era of online gaming!

The new mascot is the green guy in the top left corner of the screen. He won't share his name but... who knows maybe one day he will! Orks are such strange creatures! Speaking of Orks, are you one yet?
