But I will still remember Molotov as X-Naut.

At least he didn't come up with something crude, like BadgerRapist, or something equally cruel and sick.

Yeah, it sounds cruel and sick, but a name like that just sounds really retarded.

Before I get to the actual catch-up posts in here... I just want to make a little Public Service Announcement type post about a couple of "dos and don'ts of teh LUL!" so... here we go:

INITIATE PSA ENGINES!

I've noticed wayyyyy too many people posting two-three-four word posts. Featuring 0 content EXCEPT the stat they're statbragging about. Folks, you've got to do better than that.

And while I've seen plenty of posts like "4,000 blams!" or "9,000 experience! :)" and so on and so forth... the main offender as of late seems to be whistlebrag. See the three cases below. ALL THREE OF THESE POSTS ARE FROM ONE SINGLE PAGE OF LEVEL UP, and they're all for the same achievement:

I think it's great that the guy who posted this is now a lvl 18.

And that most of the people who first posted on the topic are now some of the highest ranking NGers.

Now THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT. MonkeyonNG, you are a CREDIT to your species.

Yeah, I bought their In Rock album yesterday and it's great. Child in Time is such an awesome song. I'll have to get their Machine Head album since it contains Highway Star and Smoke on the Water.

Highway Star and Smoke on the Water are definitely the two songs of theirs that I'm most familiar with.

I'm not sure if I've heard Child in Time or not. Like with many things, it's quite likely I have heard it and just never knew the title. I'll have to look for it some time and find out if I know it or not and if not, see what I think of it. #;-}>

Awwww... not forever. Just... gone away for awhile. Like Santa.

I heard Cyberdevil was trying to take over, but there seems to be nothing heard from SK about it.

That'd be what the RG thread on C&C seems to indicate, yes.

Al Gore's daughter was writing for Futurama at one point.

I didn't know that. :O

THE MORE YOU KNOW.

Did Conan O'Brien just write for the Simpsons back in the early 90s?

I dunno.

Jeez, you don't know much, do ya. #;-}>

Just as Phil Hartman shoulda been, but he kinda got killed by his wife just before starting to play Zapp Brannigan. ;_;

I never knew about Phil Hartman, the voice actor for Troy Mcclure being killed until a few weeks ago. :( I also never noticed the absence of Troy when Phil got killed. :|

................. you only found out he was dead this year?! Dude, he died in like 1998.... 9 years ago, that summer during the offseason between Newsradio seasons 4 and 5.

It was probably the toughest death for comedy to take in the past two decades. Yes, I know, Chris Farley... Mitch Hedberg... and many other comedic losses in the 90s and 00s, but... Phil Hartman's death was the hardest to take by far.

Didn't you ever watch him on SNL? Newsradio? Etc? Is your only fandom of him anonymous through his Simpsons voices?

He wasn't just the voice of Troy, BTW. Lionel Hutz ring a bell? #;-}>

Kristan Gore still does, to my knowledge.

For the new material, you mean? Wasn't aware of that. Still, there was a big gap there in the middle. I wonder if she was involved with the Simpsons or any other animated show in between.

Did Conan O'Brien just write for the Simpsons back in the early 90s? I don't think he was ever involved with Futurama.

He was a staff writer for the Simpsons, then made his way into other projects. He has had at least 1 guest appearance on Futurama (Xmas Story - he has a stand up gig for breakfast at the resort where the gang are staying)

Well of course I've seen the ep where they're at the ski resort and he's doing stand-up (har har... without standing up)... but I meant I don't think he's ever WRITTEN for Futurama, that's what I was getting at.

Thanks for noticing. I'm closing in on 3/4 of your holy grail of B/Ping - 36k

Schweeeeetness.

Well, Dogma took an insane break from the BBS and then DID come back, so I guess you could argue I've pulled a Dogma a few times. I didn't have the patent on that sort of thing.

"Pulling a D0GMA", yeah, that sounds suitably loaded with innuendo.

Just as it should be.

Well, you can have a few of them, that would certainly help me make up my mind for getting to 15k / 15k. C0GMA's got over 200 now, so take them, by all means as well.

:::rolling of teh eyes::: Dude... have you checked my postcount lately? I'm not exactly stuck at 6000 or something. I've posted from 9000 to 9250 faster than I posted from 8800 to 8900, in fact. I remember that 100 posts taking an exceptionally long amount of time is the reason I single that one out, rather tha 8900 to 9000 (which I think was somewhat faster).

It won't be all THAT long till I hit the 10k. By January is Coop's prediction, and I'd say that's my own OUTSIDE prediction at the moment as well. Inside predict is prolly September, as has also been discussed.

Well, it's Molotov's own fault. Or rather, it would be his own fault if he actually was unhappy and wanted his old username back, which doesn't seem to be the case... so what's the actual issue here? If he hasn't got a problem with it, why does anyone care?

AHEM....

Why does Bahamut care? Why do I care? Why does at least one other person (can't remember who, but I know me and the dragon ain't alone on this one) bother talking about this issue?

Well, let me set this up for you:

If I were to change my name from gfoxcook to ... uh.... saddonkeyman.

And you were to change your name from schneelocke to gfoxcook.

Don't you think it'd be REASONABLE to expect some backlash from the rest of Wi/Ht? People would be upset with both you (for assuming my old (and one and true) name) and me (for letting go of it in the first place, and claiming not to care for some stupid-ass reason) as well.

I would think quite a few people would find it confusing, saddening, and lame. And that's how Bahamut and I feel about a legendary user and a legendary name no longer being linked together, as they once were.

Exactly! If I did permanently change my name to something different (not saying I will want to change my name), I would accept the fact that people would still call me Bahamut, because that's what people know me as. I wouldn't tell anyone to stop calling me Bahamut, I'd just let them call me by that name.

And if someone else changed their name to Bahamut after you weren't Bahamut anymore... we'd all be giving them crap, too.

20070622 - 17050/17057 (fake level 22)
20070623 - 17060/17063 (fake level 22)
20070624 - 17070/17069 (DING DING DING!!! ACTUAL LEVEL 22!!!)

I've always been more of a sword fan than an axe fan, but level 21 and level 22 are pretty nice looking axes, at least. I like the look of 22 with my green neutral aura, too.... and I am VERY gratified to have experienced EVERY LEVEL UP TO BUT NOT INCLUDING one of the lamer level icons (along with 14, of course)... that being level 23.

Now, of course, I wish I could hit level 24 and 25 before the 60 level system goes into effect (I hope you're right about that decade or two, schnee...), but I think I'll just have to either hope they're in the 45-60 range of levels in the new system (it's possible...), or else that gfoxclock or gfox will get to be them, because it just doesn't seem to be in the cards for gfoxcook to experience level 24 or 25.

Still, those 2 aside... the other 3 of my top 5 levels have already come and gone (16, 20, and 15)... and 21 and 22 are certainly top 10ish levels of mine.

So.......

LEVEL 22 FTW. I shall enjoy teh oldschool level 22 for as long as Tom Fulp shall let me. HUZZAH!

and have a pleasent good afternoon.

It took me a while but I finally ot 6666 posts. To bad it isn't a big deal to most people as well as myself -_-

I am sorry but I have to post this here. In the VP thread gfoxcook notice my b/p rank at 36 and so on and AT's post above prompted me to see who was ranked 136 in b/p because its my exp ranking. Or I can look whos ranked 36 in experience (my b/p ranking) same person PMKD.

me
Experience: Ranked # 136 out of 1,192,835 users!
Blam/Protect: Ranked # 36 out of 1,192,835 users!

him
Experience: Ranked # 36 out of 1,192,835 users!
Blam/Protect: Ranked # 136 out of 1,192,835 users!

Not milestone, achievement or congrats worthy but the most coincidental statistical thing I ever see. or not sorry boys.

I now have 1000 posts. I know it doesn't seem like a lot but I couldn't be more proud. I don't have many people to thank so I would like to thank everyone on newgrounds. I am really happy.

indeed.

Good luck with 7k b/p by the way, 145 won't take long B)

naw, the portal has really slowed down now though, so it's taking about half an hour to get each point.

good luck with 5k =)

At least he didn't come up with something crude, like BadgerRapist, or something equally cruel and sick.

Yeah, it sounds cruel and sick, but a name like that just sounds really retarded.

But it's just the sort of alias he would choose. Deny it, I dare you!

I'd say that's no longer true a half-month later. Am I right? You seem to be gaining on me quite astoundingly, despite my bursts of activity.

I'm not there yet - I want to try and beat you and you're making it quite tough!

Kristan Gore still does, to my knowledge.

For the new material, you mean? Wasn't aware of that. Still, there was a big gap there in the middle. I wonder if she was involved with the Simpsons or any other animated show in between.

She's on board as a writer for the new series.

Did Conan O'Brien just write for the Simpsons back in the early 90s? I don't think he was ever involved with Futurama.

He was a staff writer for the Simpsons, then made his way into other projects. He has had at least 1 guest appearance on Futurama (Xmas Story - he has a stand up gig for breakfast at the resort where the gang are staying)

Well of course I've seen the ep where they're at the ski resort and he's doing stand-up (har har... without standing up)... but I meant I don't think he's ever WRITTEN for Futurama, that's what I was getting at.

Unless he was actually involved in the writing of his own gags for Xmas Story, that is.

Well, you can have a few of them, that would certainly help me make up my mind for getting to 15k / 15k. C0GMA's got over 200 now, so take them, by all means as well.

Aye, I'd have stolen all of my Brother's points by now - He's not using them any more.

Bastard.

It won't be all THAT long till I hit the 10k. By January is Coop's prediction, and I'd say that's my own OUTSIDE prediction at the moment as well. Inside predict is prolly September, as has also been discussed.

Well, I'll get the ticker tape parade set up.

Well, let me set this up for you:

If I were to change my name from gfoxcook to ... uh.... saddonkeyman.

A combination of LOLs and Aaws.

And you were to change your name from schneelocke to gfoxcook.

Don't you think it'd be REASONABLE to expect some backlash from the rest of Wi/Ht? People would be upset with both you (for assuming my old (and one and true) name) and me (for letting go of it in the first place, and claiming not to care for some stupid-ass reason) as well.

This is the whole "I stole -poxpower-" all over again. The twat put it on eBay, which was stupid.

I would think quite a few people would find it confusing, saddening, and lame. And that's how Bahamut and I feel about a legendary user and a legendary name no longer being linked together, as they once were.

I think someone's just bitter.

Whether I'd think it reasonable or not would depend on how you felt about it. If you changed your username (for whatever reason) with the intention of changing back to your old one later on, and if I then snatched that one while you weren't looking (so to speak), and if I then refused to give it back to you when you asked me to, and if you then publicly bemoaned the fact that I stole your name... yes, of course it would be reasonable to expect backlash then (lots of backlash, in fact).

But if you changed your username, saying "I don't care about the name 'gfoxcook' anymore, I want a new one", and if I then later on came along and said "oh, hmm, this name's available now, and he doesn't want it anymore" and took it, and if you then reaffirmed in public (that is, here in the LUL thread) that yes, you indeed didn't want it anymore and that you still don't want it and that you have no problem at all whatsoever with me using it now... then no, I wouldn't consider any backlash to be reasonable.

And while the above may not be exactly what happened here, the fact is that the ONE person who actually would have a right to complain - Molotov, aka the "old" X-Naut - not only doesn't complain but in fact seems perfectly fine with the current situation, with the fact that he's got a new name, and with the fact that his old name was taken by someone else. So no, I don't think the backlash is reasonable.

Of course, if others - such as you or Bahamut7 - disagree, that's fine, too. :) Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I still don't think it's reasonable to berate the "new" X-Naut for it all now, and - even more importantly - I don't see the point of it, either. Molotov doesn't care; that should really be the end of the story.

Ah well.

If anyone SHOULD be blamed, it's probably Tom and the rest of the crew for not disallowing username changes right from the start. ;)

Well, we can't forget those classics. ;)

I'm not sure if I've heard Child in Time or not. Like with many things, it's quite likely I have heard it and just never knew the title.

You may have heard it and if not, then shame on you. :P Child in Time is a kickass song. A few reasons are it's a 10 minute epic, Ian Gillan's vocals are amazing, the intensity of the song gradually rises twice and then there's the awesome solo by Ritchie Blackmore. :D

He wasn't just the voice of Troy, BTW. Lionel Hutz ring a bell? #;-}>

Of course. By 2010, I'm pretty sure I'd have left NG.

I would think quite a few people would find it confusing, saddening, and lame. And that's how Bahamut and I feel about a legendary user and a legendary name no longer being linked together, as they once were.

Yep, I 100% agree with that.

And if someone else changed their name to Bahamut after you weren't Bahamut anymore... we'd all be giving them crap, too.

Definitely, although the name Bahamut is used by a lot of other people, so someone taking that name without knowing me would be acceptable (only if I didn't care about the name anymore :P). We'd also give crap to those that took a name like WadeFulp or AfroUnderscoreStud. XD

I'd actually prefer if the "new" X-Naut were named something like BadgerRapist instead. Because then at least we wouldn't have to see X-Naut all over the place in topics but the poster not actually being the true X-Naut. Eh.. Whatcha gonna do, though.

It's funny, because I actually once thought about making an alt that would take the name X-Naut just incase the real X-Naut ever wanted it again, but he no longer cares about it and I never bothered to make an alt with the name X-Naut, so we have that imposter now.

Nah, it's not necessary to make it into a flash, but a story similar to this could work. :) Actually, I had an idea of a flash in my head that was similar to this, but nothing to do with name changing crap.
