yea BEEBO was an awesome series! I usually just go to the portal and vote on random flash to deposit my points.... maybe I should start voting BEEBO up instead. I wish that guy could make more BEEBO movies... The last BEEBO was kind of weird though.

In light of the rising frequency of grizzly bear encounters, the Montana Department of Fish & Game is advising hikers, backpackers, hunters, and fishermen to take extra precautions and keep alert for bears. We advise outdoorsmen to wear noisy little bells on their clothing so that the bears are not startled unexpectedly by a human's presence. We also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear. It is also a good idea to watch for fresh signs of bear activity. You should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear poop. Black bear poop is smaller and contains traces of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear poop smells like pepper and has little bells in it.

Indeed. It's off limits for most of us who aren't named XwaynecoltX, KWAS71KCK, or any of the various 4000-6000 range reviewers who have a shot someday if they don't stop.

Reviewing AND posting a lot is a textual skill that I COULD have groomed more back in 2003 had I really wanted to, but I didn't. I do enjoy reviewing flash every now and then, but not enough to make 10k a viable goal.

Fortunately, posting 10k is possible... eventually. #;-}>

But quadlisted is also great; I doubt I'll reach anything beyond triplelisted myself. :)

No, not impossible... but very unlikely. :) I typically seem to make about one post per day these days, so it'd take me another 24 years or so at this pace. By that time, I'd be level 26 and well on my way to 27, too. ;) (Well, assuming the old levels would still be around then... which they just might be if the new systems keeps on getting postponed.)

24 years... ay-yi-yi. Hell, some of us around here might be level 50 (out of 60) by then. #;-}>

It seems like a lot of you folks in here are talking about the old level system like it's here to stay. Are you just, as the above seems to indicate, poking gentle fun at how long upgrades can and often do take to finally happen? Or has there been some news I've missed in the past month or so to indicate the level change may not happen? DO TELL!

Come on, man, couldn't you at least make 'em yadda yadda yaddas insead? Far more dignified, far less disrespectful. But anywho...

Dude, I've voted on all the BEEBOs since 7 came out in July of 2003. By the time 9 came out in May of 2005, I'd already helped to raise the first 7 quite a lot. 8 and 9 never dipped too far in the first place, but I've been voting on them as well, on all 9, since then... and as of today, here's how high the scores have raised since July 2003 when I began voting on every single one every day, mostly 5s (I do throw 4s often at the lesser BEEBOs, such as 4 and 5... and to a lesser degree 3 and 7... to make sure they aren't as highly rated as the best BEEBOs. #;-}>)

BEEBO 1 from 3.77 to 4.05
BEEBO 2 from 3.76 to 4.05
BEEBO 3 from 3.76 to 3.99
BEEBO 4 from 3.76 to 3.97
BEEBO 5 from 3.76 to 3.97
BEEBO 6 from 4.07 (but it was horribly downvoted down to 3.87 and had to be rescued) to 4.05
BEEBO 7 from 4.15 (again, downvoted down to 3.89, similarly rescued) to 4.01
BEEBO 8 from 3.90 to 4.05
BEEBO 9 from 3.91 to 4.05

Anyone who wants to join me in the quest to prevent BEEBO movies from being horribly underrated... is welcome to come along and start depositing by voting up BEEBO. Anyone who sees us doing this and starts downvoting to cancel us out? Well, you're going to hell, so I hope you're happy.

No no no. I said I will most likely hit 10k posts, and when I do I will post some form of an update (not as accurate as they have tended to be, due to the time elapsed, but anyone who's near 2x10k now on my spreadsheet will be fine. Anyone who isn't... and wants to be on the 2x10k list at that time... needs to post in the pentalist topic and let me know sometime between now and when I hit 10,000 posts!).

As in, ONE more update. When I hit 10k posts.

And that's it. Not a few more.

The only way I'll make another after that one is if I hit 10k reviews and thereby complete the pentalist for myself. And that ain't happening, folks. Let's face it.

Probably. :) Which leads to an interesting question, too - when have you actually attained a new level - when you first reach it, or when you stop getting pimp'ed? :)

When Pimp's deposit stops preventing you from keeping the level.

After all, if he deposited before you and NG didn't have any "level lag," then you never would have even touched the level that day.

So IMO, backslide is just an illusionary effect caused by Pimp not depositing right after midnight (which would be the kindest way to be a level 30, IMO, and I do try to do that over on RG, where I'm the level 30)... and by NG having sucky lag when folks don't deposit right away but later in the day and sometimes the systems fail to notice until the next day begins, basically. If then, occasionally.

Congrats on your rank up, but I feel compelled to point out that you must be talking about Major General there, since BrigGen is the one-star laurel-wreath rank (and still, as always, my favourite NG b/p badge rank icony thingie of ALL TIME).

I know what you mean and how you feel about the b/p ranks, BTW. It was long ago that I retired at 60k, and even longer ago that the real pressure was off upon hitting teh 30k. I would no more want to restart that struggle on my main account here than I would want to delete this account and have to start over.

Granted, I've been getting b/p on gfoxclock, my alt. But also grant that I feel no pressure to do so quickly. In fact, I've been stuck at the same b/p amount since November on that account. I should really visit the portal sometime. #;-}>

I'm off to do some errands (grocery store, take my shoes to be cleaned after walking in mud in them yesterday after the wedding of my cousin... long story, but suffice it to say it was raining all evening and quite a few of us guests had to deal with our cars getting a bit stuck in the mud, though we all managed to escape in the end thanks to the help of a tractor.... take my car to the car wash... gee, I wonder why #;-}>, etc.)...

and then to go see Children of Men with my girlfriend. First movie I've been really excited to go see since Borat and Little Miss Sunshine. About time a sci-fi movie came out that really appealed to me again. It's been a few years.

(Personally, I'd like to see that change so that levels are more tightly-spaced near the "bottom", but I doubt it'll happen.

I'd have to say after you stop getting Pimp'ed wolfie. The level 30 user has always set the precedent on Newgrounds. Always a welcome break when he misses a deposit. Now if gfox would only do the same thing on Retrogade. *looks around*

Grizzly bear poop smells like pepper and has little bells in it.

*chuckles* Sounds like a Darwin Award contest to me. ^_^

Can you believe some people are really that stupid? I'd say a good 90% of the winners go by the motto "act first, think later." Did you read the one about the two people who crawled inside a helium balloon for kicks and ultimately passed out from lack of oxygen? Both were 21 year-old college students. What the hell are they teaching these days???

Congrats on the big 16k, Recon.

Thanks Greg! ^_^

I hope you grab the double-axe before the site overhaul.

Meh, I don't care if the site overhaul happens before I get there. As long as I don't get stuck with that shitty level 23 icon I'm a happy camper. :-)

I very very very much doubt I will, but then the way schnee and you and others are acting (as though there's no danger of it happening anytime soon), who knows!

Well if you're ever privy to such information don't hesitate to let the less fortunate know.

... ya know?

Not too exciting, just the same badge with two stars on it. :(

Well, the name changes from EG Brigadier General to EG Major General :P

Reviewing AND posting a lot is a textual skill that I COULD have groomed more back in 2003 had I really wanted to, but I didn't. I do enjoy reviewing flash every now and then, but not enough to make 10k a viable goal.

Fortunately, posting 10k is possible... eventually. #;-}>

Stick at any stat-based thing long enough and you'll get there. I'm hoping not to have to apply this sad sounding method to my cricket averages again this year...

Or you could just keep posting 1 per day for most of the time, but one summer sometime in the coming few years or something... you could suddenly spike to 50-100 posts per day for just a few weeks. THAT'D HELP OUT A LOT, and wouldn't need to be sustained for 2+ years. Heh.

I could... but the main problem isn't time, it's that I don't know what post. I wouldn't want to spam the forums with useless crap, and I don't think I could make 50 to 100 useful posts a day; even ten would be difficult.

I'm not asking you to be a BonusStage or HAYF here, I'm asking you to be a ZAAL, who actually posts 30+ per day of useful posts...

Oh, come on, it was just a HUG. o.o Sheesh, why are people in western societies so afraid of physical contact (or, for that matter, witnessing it)? It was nothing sexual, after all (although why people are so afraid of *that* is something that I don't really understand, either).

I'm a western person and I'm not against it!

Still haven't received my Christmas card or the Harvest Moon calendar. Most likely sold out. :-(

*noddles* Mmm, good point, yes. Let's hope pimp will go the way of the human target soon. ;) (And bomb, too. And generally everyone who's got a higher level than Yoink or so.)

Who knows. :P I didn't read about that one, BTW, but I do recall another one that's actually related to bears - quoting:

"One day a ranger for the Yellowstone National Park Service joined a crowd of people, cars, trucks and motor homes that had congregated to watch a bear. One woman and her little boy stood out in the crowd. She was smearing something unidentifiable all over the boys's face."

"The ranger asked the woman what she was doing."

"She answered, 'Putting honey on him, of course!'"

"Stunned, he asked the obvious question: Why?"

"She answered matter-of-factly, 'I want to take a picture of the bear licking it off his face'"

...nothing much you can add to *that*, is there? :) The ranger apparently went on to prevent the whole thing (not a big surprise there); but you really have to wonder what that woman was thinking. (Well, actually, I assume she wasn't thinking anything at all - she probably had enough trouble remembering how to breathe. It's not as easy as it looks!)

Eh, I don't know. I'm not a very prolific poster - I just don't usually have anything meaningful to contribute, and I don't want to post irrelevant stuff just to bolster my post count. :P (That's not to say those who post more only post irrelevant things, of course - just that if I posted as much, I would.)

What? and stop me enjoying this werewolf-on-vampire action? It's a free love-in, I tell you!

...vampire?

I can't make 30 useful posts per day - it's impossible (for me). :P

I'm a western person and I'm not against it!

OK, I should've qualified that... "many people". :) Too many, too. (Seriously, why do we even have a word for "sex-positive"? If anything, there should be one with the opposite meaning ("sex-negative"?), and being sex-positive should be the default...)

*raises hand* Oooh, me me!

OK. ^^ *gives you a warm hug*
