I think it's already been answered, but we were underneath NG News, located in the same block as P-Bot's postings etc.

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.

It seems that a lot of General's denizens have moved over there. When they realise that it's not a forum for attention whores and they decamp, it'll start to resemble a fully functioning place once more.

Cool. I just wanted to get a second opinion of where to send people who inevitably will ask how to create movies/games.

I'd have a scout about and find out - I don't know, so I won't be answering those questions.

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.

Stat whores, unite!

You shouldn't underestimate Leatherface nor the power of the golden chainsaw.

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

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?

You passed 27000 B/P! Congrats!

Thanks for voting, Spoopy! Your experience has been automatically deposited!

With that vote, you now have 4,010 experience points. You need 0 more to get to Level 20. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 9 hours, 37 minutes, and 26 seconds.

The more experience points you have, combined with BLAM and PROTECTION points, the more your vote is worth!

Nice to see you leveling up Spoopy.

I'm not feeling too great today, but I managed to find enough energy to look at a computer screen long enough to deposit.

Thanks for voting, Fro! Your experience has been automatically deposited!

With that vote, you now have 10,000 experience points. You need 670 more to get to Level 32. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 8 hours, 45 minutes, and 36 seconds.

10,000 experience points

Only 153 people before me have made this, so the real question that looms now is will I reach the top 150 before my account anniversary. Just under 100 days to go, I don't think it will be a problem, but the target of #130 looks well beyond my capabilities this time...

Well, we'll see. Personally, I'm going to hang around there and get some of my writing done, with the hopes of getting more presented to the faithful and people that might want to read my stories.

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.

How about because we don't count this as an achievement for posts, either? Counting it as an achievement for posts only encourages spam and with how fast people gain Saves around here, it's too easy to gain.

2,500 Total Reviews

I think I'm only the 17th person to have achieved this. A cursory glance at the upper end of the Top 100 Reviewers lists seems to suggest so, but if anyone can confirm this, Bahamut can ;)
