By the way - this stuff has been more or less ready for months. I had hoped that Tom wouldn't have let the cat out of the bag, but since he has already, screenshot time.

Oh, and for those who go hunting for the URLs for this stuff - don't bother, you'll just be re-directed after getting an irritating message.

Yay! Looks cool...

Response to Private Messaging 2005-07-05 22:07:05

Well, all i can say is, yes, i do like this idea.

Response to Private Messaging 2005-07-05 22:07:10

Excellent stuff, and thank God it has a blocker!

And I got a little curious and tried looking for the link for the PM system. Very true, I'm not any of the admins.

I don't know if it's implemented, but will it attach signatures?

Yeah, I agree with that :)

Although I still think this might be a somewhat useless feature. Like I said, with so many people having email and AIM, it just seems useless to bog down Newgrounsd some more with this thing. Just my opinion.

lol

How many did you send him?

Well, I don't see the point of it...

PMs waste a lot of bandwith, server space, Data Base space, etc... And all what you get are messages from your stalkers like:

"OMG WHY DID YOU BANZORD ME?"
"UR SO COOL!"

Etc...
Etc...

That's actually me, using Tom's account. Apart from the last message (the first one on the list). He really sent that. Hehe.

Response to Private Messaging 2005-07-05 22:18:50


a pm system could be good in some ways, but people will just use it for flame wars. and there would be no way for the mods to keep an eye on it, if tom adds a pm system, it would probably only last a year or so before tom gets annoyed by complaints and takes it down.

on the adultswim forums, there used to be a rating system, but after people abused it by rating low on a post just because they were pissed off at someone, it was taken away.

and an edit button, i hope that is never installed.
once again, using the adultswim forums as an example, the edit button is ment for correction of errors, but people mostly use it to flame others and spam then change their post. and even worse on those forums, there is a delete button, where you could flame someone, leave your post for 5 minutes, then delete it. that is the most abused thing on those boards.

so even though these things can be used to help us, im pretty sure that there are many n00bs waiting for the pm system and edit button to abuse and spread their internet jackassery with.


I dont even.

Response to Private Messaging 2005-07-05 22:19:09


Would you be able to give us a rough estimate on when the PM system will be up and running, or is it a matter of wait and see?

What do you mean? The second people start spamming you, you have their usernames, so BAM! 7-day ban0r'd!

I would think it might because...well the BBS uses a shitload of space, so maybe adding features to it might make it use even more. If this is done maybe something like deleting all of the stored sig pictures off of the server might help some.

Then again I don't know shit :(

I think the point is for everyone to stay on NG 24/7. With everything in reach (email, games, chat), who needs to go anywhere else right?

Its true you'll probably get a shitload of stupid messages from idiots (especially if you're a mod, or even a girl), but I think it would be a cool little feature on NG.

i see it is actually going to be installed, well at least there is a block feature. when this is installed, where will the "send private message" button be? and when will this system be running.

If NG provided food, shelter, clean running water, and sexual pleasure, then I would have no need to do anything else in life!!
