Well, when the new forums appeared, the admins did a shuffle and people were more than a bit dismayed about this. Some people made a few phone calls and liljim caved in, putting the Wi/Ht back where it belongs.

Sooo.. what the difference between the Animation Forum and the Flash Forum? Is the the Flash Forum Actionscript questions only now?

I think so. Plus you've got the collaboration forum, which is going to be great news for bits and pieces of NG related flash to come out.

Top 300 in B/P!

+1 list, me thinks :)

Now all I need to do is get the Writing Forum moved up and I'm on easy street!

I don't think I'll care all that much about the writing forum (or any of the new forums actually), but when things settle down a bit I might start to look around.

I just hope the new forums won't turn out like the Video Games forum.

What forum was in place of Wi/Ht?

None. There were only four forums listed under the 'all access forums'. Now there are five. The Wi/Ht? just bumped down the C&C and the other two.

A nice level indeed. Tomorrow's milestone will be much better in my opinion though.

Leatherface would be more awesome if he was wielding a gold chainsaw.

But he couldn't do it because he couldn't pick it up.

You mean he's not awesome enough to pick up a gold chainsaw?

Oh, are they going to still have mid-year awards? I thought they were going to not do them this year.

It's not been confirmed. There might be a Midyear awards or there might not. If it turns out we will have a Midyear awards, that will be the best opportunity to give out Most Underrated suggestions. If not, then surely you all can't still be thinking I'm most underrated by the end of 2010.

5k experience points.

Just reached 6.00 base VP. Nothing amazing, but I felt that it's worth a mention.

I'm planning to hit my B/P retirement numbers by the end of this week (1499 saves, 999 blams). It's pretty pathetic, but if I go any higher I'll be forced to leave the NGPD, which I'm not ready for right now.

Nothing really special, but since achievements seem to be a very rare thing for me these days I'll mention it anyway:

I doubt it could even work if it was made of massive gold.

Leatherface would be more awesome if he was wielding a gold chainsaw.

But he couldn't do it because he couldn't pick it up.

You mean he's not awesome enough to pick up a gold chainsaw?

I mean he's not strong enough. Do you have any idea how heavy a chainsaw made out of pure gold would be?

Indentured servants hmm. I was always told that they were people who wanted to come over to the New World but didn't have the money to pay for it so a person would sponsor them. In exchange for paying for their voyage they would work for the benefactor for seven years until their debt was paid off. That how it was told to me in High School, which was before the Wikipedia days. o.O

I really think it needs a revamp with so more interesting categories. The last one seem pretty dull.

I'm surprised letiger is ever not banned long enough to post at all. The mods must be getting slack. Dumbarse admitted that he is trying to get one of the negative BBS awards like worst poster. Frankly I think he stands a decent chance.

Yeah, and over 100 topics have been made over the past few days. I doubt that many of them actually contain anything worth reading.

Also too bad the forum is only for material written by users themselves. I was hoping plot discussions of movies, books and other literature would be allowed as well, but only if it served to inspire the writers on NG.

Seriously? I posted that because when I left for school at 7 am today, and came back, it was left at 1,337. And why not post it? It's a number we can count as an achievement. Besides. I got 400 points from clock day 2007. About 100 total after that until clock day 2009. Then what? I barely got to Sergeant when that happend. And look now. I'm trying again. And you're going to ban me, for posting a screenshot, of a number, that is an achivement? It dosnt matter if it's B/P, rank, exp, reviews, or even flash.

Nice double-shot of level-up today: Reached level 28 (gotta love that knife) and 35K Saves.

Definitely. I already made suggestions on how to improve the awards and with the new forums, they really need to have a category focusing on flash, audio, art AND literature and not just art. Infact, they had Best Writer at one point.

Leatherface isn't that strong, and I think he prefers his own chainsaw. Because it has an unlimited amount of fuel... (seriously, he doesn't turn it off ONCE in the movie ^^).
Also, maybe the level 54 chainsaw is just made out of Chalcopyrite?
