k.

i've been making sure to deposit every day, because i've been wanting to get out of level 9 hell.

at least i know trying to get to level 16 isn't a total pipe dream. newgrounds should still be alive in 2007.

Many of you might of noticed i've stopped blaming. Just as I was looking at my profile I found myself at 16,000. I could of gotten 30k by now if I had gone with my past pace that I stuck with but since I quit that will take much longer. It's such a relief though. K kill my next rank up.

Yay, I got 1337 saves, I are happy now. Got the screen too.

Congrats to:

Yes I remember. I remember when;
"surfing" was merely something done with a long board on the ocean
"down load" was a delivery you didn't get due to the truck breaking down
"hacking" was done to the hog {or steer} at slaughter
"cracking" was something done to safes by thieves {I think todays standards are similar?}
the information superhighway was those big damn green signs that blew by you at 70+MPH on the freeway letting you know you just missed your exit.

I have a friend who is 45 years old and his current lady friend is 24. Its interesting to hear her talk about how kids 'have it made' today growing up with all the toys available to them. I really wonder how she would have made it when my friend Dave and I grew up in the 60's and 70's?

Can some one deposit for me for like 2 weeks, couse i'm going on vacation in a few days.

Thanks Bahamut7. Out of the three I've always disliked the light aura, which is weird since that's what mine changed to with the old system. Once we had the option to choose I went back to neutral.

Ha! I'm always causing mischief with my friends. One of my favorite pranks is to start talking about a subject I know my buddy is interested in minutes before we reach the exit. Most of the time he doesn't even realize he's missed the turn until I bring it to his attention. The response I usually get is "You asshole."

So Ivan, are you really 47 years old? If you are I think you're the oldest member on the site. Don't get me wrong, I think that's great! It's nice to know bila and I aren't the only ones over 30 that hangout on Newgrounds.

Aye. BDay #47 was July 26. Born in 1958. {Year of the Edsel} Graduated high school in 1976 the US's bicentennial year.
I came to NewGrounds looking for media artists for work here in Charlotte. I decided to stay when I realized out of all those accounts here, very few actually had lots of B/Ps and experience. I was kinda glad to find your's and bila's profile and know that there were people near my age here.

Congrats ReconRebel for level 20. :)

sorry if i'm a little late.

Well no need to go fast forever once I reached 30,000 I would of stopped for sure, but now I have no pace. Well considering my sign up date and my rate it was pretty good. Even though I started blaming late after I signed up. I would of gotten there soon, but it would of wasted my whole summer for a new shiny badge image. It's just a picture. Life goes on.

If someone isn't already helping you do with it. E-mail me and i'll help you deposit. I'm already helping a few others, and I don't mind i'm on Newgrounds everyday just not blaming anymore. More like viewing new movies now. It's a lot easier. My e-mail address is AnzRage@yahoo.com.

No worries AnzRage. I've got _lightning_'s deposits covered. He never changed his password. I'm sure he appreciates the offer.

Haha, unfortunately for me (my feathered friend), it is not of great concern. I was just showing how another thread has caught up to us. I'm metamorphasising into a politician myself anyway, so posting more is not what I shall do.

Oh, I haven't? Well, let me think about for a second (sarcasm). I think we are. Well, I get to talk to people more on this forum anyway, so I guess I'll e-mail you if something important happens (or when I'm bored during school mornings). How's life for you anway?

And as for everyone else, how is everything going? Hopefully, everything is good.

My intensions of spamming up this lounge are as real as my intensions of buying stickers to you. I know that i'll look like some silly newb in front of everyone else.

This is a topic for lounging in. Chat, talk, converse, congratulate people, thank them for their congrats, and by all means, continue to brag about major stat landmarks...

Duly noted.

but no posting just for posting's sake, no posting to give a topic that doesn't give a shit an ego boost over another topic. That's the kind of shit that gets topics like this one LOCKED, okay? So if you don't want admin attention to shift to the lock button on this topic, give that kind of talk (or action) a rest, please? Even jokingly.

Right. Fear the admins. I didn't know that joking about it may cause some unessecary trouble, so i thank you for pointing that out.

Thank you.

No, thank YOU.

Free bathroom soap to:

AnzRage - 16,ooo blams

Thanks Bahamut but I was pwned by HT52 and dropped back to level 11 for another day. I kind of saw that one coming. Its why I didn't post after the deposit at midnite. Congrats on 9000 blams.

Congratualtions ReconRebel on getting level 20. The hammer icon is most bodacious I think. I apoligize for not noticing sooner considering we have been passing info back and forth lately.

Finally...30,000 b/p points, a new shiny badge, and a nice .33 VP boost.

Congrats to ReconRebel on lever 20 !

Somehow that level seems to suit you ?!?!

i got one-thousand posts.

well, this isn't really a big deal, but i had to share it here, because if i made a topic, i probably would've gotten banned.

yay for 1k.

2000 blams.

Elite Guard Sergeant. Sorry for the double post.

I believe I congratulated Recon on his awesome level 20ness back when me and MPA were talkin' bout our level 16ness (well, me on my alt, of course, he on his main)... but I guess it took two or three days to stick, eh? Congrats on finally getting it for good, man. By the time I'm up to level 20 come January 1st, 2006.... I'll probably have been hitting it and getting knocked back to 19 for the final 3 or 4 days of 2005. Such is the way of things in teh NG exp system.

Cool i would be 37th I am almost at 30,000 pionts

Then ya just gotta get a second stat up to 10k, eh? Did you notice you got a mention on last week's update, BTW? In the 1x10k section (i.e. the "halfway or more there" mentions #;-}>).

4,444 Saves you may think well thats good but it has more on my 4,444 blam and post. I posted in this thread. IT shows that protects are hard to come by.

4444 saves is better than 99.5% of NG has. Maybe even 99.9%, come to think of it...

I think I've only missed around 5 or 6 deposits in the entire 2 year life of that account, actually.

I was referring to the fact that THIS account used to be level 16, and it's been nearly a year since it has. I've missed being level 16, so at least now my alt gets to be it for a few months.

And then in a year or so, my ALT alt will probably hit 16, so... the fun never stops! (actually, it stops after my alt alt hits 17, I guess. ;_;)

...

and now, just a little note about something I noticed but was too busy to comment on when I was posting as gfoxclock in here on pages 1205 and 1207:

hey would have has much as gfox around there I guess.

Well, it's possible he might, but I wouldn't be so sure. Also, either Marcus or Bonus said they thought Toocool would be around #1 or #2, and I just don't think that hanging with MPA or ramagi, even if he WERE blamming all the time along with saving... would be realistic. See, IMO... Just blamming or just saving... is such a very different process than b/ping like most people do.

When you're only focussing on one stat, things are simple, though points come slower overall: you either get the point you want, or you don't (whether you vote incorrectly or just don't vote at all because it's sooooo bad (if you're going for protects) or soooooo good (if you're going for blams) and you have no chance of getting the point whether you vote or not, see?).

When you're trying for maximal blams and saves (which I rarely am, BTW, because I'm trying to keep my blam-to-save ratio under 1.5 in preparation for my 36k/24k retirement), you have new problems:

You could get the blam.
You could vote to blam but it's saved.
You could get the save.
You could vote to save but it's blammed.
You could get mixed up/distracted IRL and vote incorrectly on either type of point.
You could be too late (already in graveyard or protected) two different ways.

etc. etc. etc.

So while Toocool could have gotten a lot of blams along the way had he not been a saveaholic and a blamophobe... I really doubt he'd have around 24,000 saves with 36,000+ blams (you'll notice I just mentioned my retirement stats... but it's a coincidence as I'm heading for 24,000 saves and Toocool's just gotten to that range... and with 36k blams he'd have around 60,000 which would put him not too far behind MPA about now). It's just not in his nature, anyway, to blam a ton of shit, so the whole thing's a moot point.

Now, if someone ELSE got their hands on Toocool's account... that's another story. :::nods:::

i reached level 12 during my 30-day ban so and this has been my first chance to announce it. so, um yeah. level 12. woot.
