The FlashDen Team

Birthday

Birthday Celebrations!

One Year of FlashDen
On August 21st 2006 FlashDen.net launched. The site had less than a hundred files and only staff for members, but it was exciting nonetheless. One year later and the membership count stands close to 15,000, the file count well over two and half thousand. But counts only tell a part of the story. In that year FlashDen has grown a community of great, light-hearted, helpful, intelligent and industrious members. We've gone through a redesign, lots of marketing efforts and the site now hums along helping its authors profit, its buyers to create and keeping the admins nice and busy!

To celebrate one year of FlashDen, we have plenty of things happening, including:

  • Daily giveaways of $25 deposits and a $25 Amazon voucher to a random buyer
  • Call for Testimonials
  • Double Commission Day for Authors ... TODAY! All day today we're giving out double commissions for any sale.
  • Read our 1 year retrospective where we give all the backstories and anecdotes about how FlashDen got to where it is today

Credits are no more!

In the interests of making life simpler here at FlashDen, we've removed "Credits" and simplified everything into plain old dollars and cents. So files that used to cost 10 Credits are now $10 and so on. We think this will make buying and selling simpler.

What does this mean for buyers
Instead of purchasing Credit packs, buyers will now deposit cash into their accounts. This is essentially the same thing, just renamed for simplicity and clarity.

Additionally because we have moved to a plain cash basis, there are no more bonuses when you deposit cash. Currently you still need to deposit in "packs" of $10, $35, $50 and $100, however we will be reviewing this situation soon to adjust the deposit system.

What does this mean for sellers
Sellers will now only have one amount listed in their status bar at the top of the page. This amount is a combined total of your earnings and deposits. However when you go to withdraw money you can only withdraw your earnings. This is to prevent FlashDen being used as some sort of banking facility.

A Better FlashDen
As always these changes are to make a better site for everyone. We hope that the simplified system will make buying easier and generate more sales for sellers. It will also pave the way for many future upgrades to the site that we have planned!

AudioJungle ... Very Soon

We've always felt that audio was under appreciated on FlashDen, so for some time now we've been working on a sister site to FlashDen called AudioJungle. The image above is the first sneak peek anyone has had of the upcoming site.

The launch date is yet to be announced, but stay tuned.
