These guys know what they are doing, Dragom. I don't think there's need to ask again, once the game has been approved.
The chance that you would upload a game that has already been approved, and it isn't already on the FTP server, is very slim...

There's being cautious and there's the delete button.
I've uploaded things that have needed removing from FTP before.
And I'm still alive.

You could always check the full list in offers if you were still unsure - the sticky thread called submissions or something. Use yr browser search to check the page quickly, or advanced forum search to scout the whole thread.

The idea of the "coming soon" pages is a good one.
Even though a standard page, with minor adjustments, is easy - the task of registering everything is pretty large.

There is also the fact that a site full of empty pages with no images (as we'd have to take screenshots or link to mobygames or someone, even though you have to make the gamepages for some of the games we get here...) isn't exactly thrilling.

Apart from that - I like it. It could be a good way to let people know what is needed for a game to go on-site.

There is already a database under construction that fulfils providing this information to staff, who are the people that circulate this information to the forum, and so to Abandonia users.
Excellent suggestion, but I'm not sure if an html/php version of that is likely.
At least not until the cms database is complete.

The quickest way to get yours and others games up on site is to write a review & take screenshots, upload extras, etc... completing all that is necessary from you to make a new game page.
