Kongregate is still a thing? I thought the move away from flash games killed the names of my youth but I suppose they transitioned somewhere

But they got rid of the ability for people to post their own games to the site and ditched chat, so it’s old format is effectively dead.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
