I was just wondering why a game can not be changed back to a simple game after it was changed to an advanced game. i personally dont have a problem with it, i was just wondering. my guess would be that its too much programming to worry about but i am curious.

My guess is, switching restrictions back, etc...

Each game has a flag that says whether it is Advanced or Classic. Changing the flag is trivial, but consider ... what would happen to:
- all the chapters
- items
- item link restrictions
- variables
- variable link restrictions
- previous page links, chapter links, etc.

If you have a game you want to go back to Classic, and it has only one chapter, no items, no vars, no restrictions, etc, I can flip the flag for you. But, only as a favor to you :-) -- don't want to make it a "policy" to flip em back for ppl.

It would get messy.

thanks for letting me know AP. i dont need that but thanks for the offer. i just always wondered why it seemed so Final lol. makes sense though.

AP - Isn't that Chocobot's Nickname 4 him?

Alex P or AP.

It's my initials. I've noticed a lot of people call others by their initials. Sometimes I call Chocobot by that, "GM", his initials.

GM place is the Vancouver Canucks arena, its my favorite public place in the world.
