    In the 66 contest i had entered this is the first -ve comment i am receiving. The link sending through the PM is not a new happening here at 99designs. When surfing thru CONTESTS i came to know that there are designers whom are uploading a tiny image and sending their entree's url to CH thru PM. In my previous flash contests I faced problems with my concepts, animations stolen by someone and getting nice ratings. First I'll start on the concept once i developed animations to some extent then someone will come, see flash file i posted, reading the feed backs given by CH then will design according to that and will get good ratings. This is what happening in most of the contests here.
    @ Blacklab & Digital Design - Please have a look at the following 99 design feedback forum topics before saying "everything is public and transparent : honest work and healthy competition".

    Since SWFs are easily extractable and editable i want to save my file from copycats. Also in the beginning itself i stated to the contest holder that because of this problem i am sending thru PM. I sent only the urls and discussions were done on the submission page only.
    I was the first to post a Flash animated file in this contest thats y i hided the link from others. If anyone posted flash file links earlier surely i might posted the link the submission page only. I did for my file security and nothing purposely.
