If you have a burning question, please take some of your time to see if it's posted here. Most of these used to be asked frequently. A few of them were just added in for convenience's sake. Also note that I have no connection to the games' development at all, so it's no use asking me to put things in the games.

1- Can I give out news/a picture/something else to CM? How?
Yes, by all means. I always credit people about their submissions, so don't worry about that. Here's a list of very welcome submissions:

- "Mystery" pictures: That's how I like to dub early screenshots that show things not present in the games. Hoaxes (fake screenshots) and pirate covers don't count. Glitches are better off posted in the Tech Info board.

- Better versions of pictures that are already on the site. PS1 models will not be accepted any more.

- News on upcoming Crash games (must provide evidence).

I'm not accepting plot holes or theories.
To submit something, just e-mail it to me. Or just post it in the forum if you're registered.

2- I saw something wrong on CM...
That's good, it means you were paying attention. Just tell me where it's at, and I'll correct it if it truly is wrong.

3- Where do you take the character models from?
Using the magic of emulators and art programs, it becomes quite simple to rip 3D models. I usually add a watermark to those models to represent CM. The only exceptions are common models that you can find on the web. I obviously don't add watermarks to those, even if I still rip them sometimes. 

4- But I saw one of your watermarked models on another site. How come?
The answer is simple: that website's owner is an image thief. All of the watermarked models you see on this site were taken by myself (and sometimes friends of mine), which means CM is the real deal. No exceptions. In fact, after CM popped up, lots of people decided to steal its images to make their own CM clones. The most devious thieves will even edit out the watermarks to claim rip ownership. That's the Internet for ya.

5- Can you give me non-watermarked versions of character pictures?
No, but read question 6.

6- Can I take the pictures displayed on CM?
Go nuts. Just don't edit any watermarks out. With that in mind, you're free to do anything else you please with them.

7- Can I be a moderator at the Crash Mania Forum?
No, but I accept peanuts as bribes.

8- Are you in need of auxiliary writers or any help with the site?
I accept the kind of help covered in question 1, but writers aren't currently needed. I've got the site handled, at least for the time being. Thanks for the offer, though.

9- Why don't the pictures from CM show up when I link to them in other sites?
Because hotlinking is bad, kids. If a stranger offers you hotlinks, just say "NO!". Hotlinking images leeches off bandwidth, and when a site's bandwidth is all used up, that site becomes unavailable for a while.

10- What's your favourite Crash game?
You pick one for me.

11- Since you know this person, can you tell me how to contact him/her?
If that person's contacting address is public, you probably shouldn't have trouble finding it.

12- Are you going to include one last question as a random made-up thing that isn't frequently asked, but is still listed anyway with the sole purpose of getting a cheap laugh out of maybe one in every ten people?
Way ahead of you.

Is your question not here? Then ask me now!
As long as it isn't something personal. Call it a principle of sorts. You have to at least buy me dinner first.
