What does "FAQs" mean?
The word "FAQs" is an abbreviation for Frequently Asked Questions. These are questions that are asked regularly enough that they are placed on their own page to make it easy for people to find the answers.

Why did you change the layout of GameWing?
The layout of GameWing was changed because I now have a script (or program) that helps me run the webpages. The purpose of this script is to make it easier to add games to make it more exciting for the users. In the past, it used to take a lot of time to add a game where now it only takes a minute or two.

Do I have to register to play games on GameWing?
No! You do not have to register to play games on this site. In fact, I have always taught my students that you should NOT give out personal information over the internet so I think it would be a bad idea to force you to register to play on this site. Can you register? Of course you can if you want, but I do not require you to register to play.

Why did you choose the name GameWing?
If you have ever tried to buy a website name, you probably noticed that all the good ones are taken. So, I searched for an available name that I knew would be easy to remember and easy for most people to spell. It was a toss up between GameWing.com or SomeSuperLongNameGameSite.com. I stand by my decision. :)

Why do you have ads on GameWing?
GameWing is a website that is run and paid for by a broke teacher. As some of you may know, teachers don't make a lot of money. I have placed ads on this site as a way to try and cover the expenses that it costs to run this site.

What is an APPROPRIATE game or movie on GameWing?
For a game to be considered on GameWing, it can NOT contain:
1) gratuitous or graphic violence including gore, lots of blood, body parts flying off, etc.
2) mature themes such as nudity, adult situations, etc.
3) immediate links to inappropriate web sites or content.
4) poor quality graphics or composition that takes away from the enjoyment of the game/movie.
5) the game meets the "beach" standard which means that there is no more skin exposed in the game than you would see at a typical, family oriented U.S. beach. The main reason for this rule is because GameWing carries (as does our sister site, GirlyWing.com) dress-up style games that, as part of the game, has players change outfits on a character (click here for a sample dress up game).

Are you really a teacher?
Yes, I really am a teacher. When I started GameWing, I was teaching computers to Kindergarten through 5th grade students. I have changed jobs a bit and I am now working with 6 - 8th grade students...but I'm still a teacher. :)

A game (or file) that I created is on GameWing and I was not contacted about using it?
Occasionally, I find a game that I think would be great for the site but there appears to be no apparent contact information. I would be the first to say that placing a game without the author's permission is not the best way to do something (and contrary to what I teach my students). If your game or file is on GameWing, my hope is that you will be kind enough overlook it since: 1) this is a free site for anyone to use and I do not charge people to play, 2) I do not claim the work as my own, and 3) I do not resell your game to profit from it. If your game is on GameWing and you would like credit and a link for your hard work, I would be DELIGHTED to provide these on the game page. Please contact me at admin@gamewing.com so that I may give you your due credit. If your game is on GameWing and you would like it removed immediately, I will be happy to comply. Please e-mail me at admin@gamewing.com for immediate removal of your game.

GameWing was gone for a while, what happened?
During the months of May and June ('06) I changed hosts (a host is where all the files are stored for this site). Well, this created all sorts of problems that took quite a while to get sorted out. Let's just say that I wasn't happy and I am VERY glad that it is finally working again!

Do your games on GameWing contain any viruses or spyware?
I work very hard to keep GameWing safe. This means keeping it free from inappropriate content such as blood and guts games AND from spyware and viruses. Don't just take my word for it, see what one of the leading antivirus companies in the world, McAfee, have said about GameWing and whether it is safe. Click here to view.
