Are bumps still allowed?

Dude of all the threads on this website this is the last thread that would ever need a bump. People are consistantly posting their stat ups, as well as having conversations with other users since this thread is also the regulars lounge for this section of the BBS.

In other words no.

8,000 saves.

Somehow, I doubt that will happen.

At least we'll stick to one layout for a few good years unlike YouTube who have an annual habit for that.

I'm surprised that Google haven't started coming up with new variants of the YouTube logo, like they do with their own.

Oh and now I've had a change of facial hair, so have a look, a laugh and let me know!

I don't know why, but your hairdo always reminds me of some strange guy that was awesomely well known in Germany during the 30's and 40's...

Yeah, but he was Austrian and therefore sucked.

"The Austrians succeeded in making the world think that Hitler was a german and Mozart was an austrian."

Forgot who said that, but it's oh so true.

I had to look it up, but Mozart was born in Salzburg, which was at the time part of the Holy Roman Empire. So does that make him a holy roman?

Actually that makes him a Salzburgian. ;)

That's like asking someone from Londonderry where they are from. Protestants will tell you Londonderry, but Catholics will say "Derry", despising the name London in their town / city's name.

But to be really historical correct he's neither german nor austrian. It's just that Salzburg now is part of Austria, but it wasn't back then. Or you could say he's both german AND austrian. But he's not ONLY austrian. ^^

Right, to correct this, he's a musician. Or he was.

I'll just listen to other stuff in the meantime. This band failed to give me a good first impression so less excitement for now.

All you need to bring up is Kreator and you get a thumbs up.

I could also bring up Haggard. :P

Of course. I did try some of their songs but they would be so much better without death metal vocals.

There are worthwhile EPs out there that have actual songs as opposed to just alternative version crap like what Dream Theater did on the Wither EP.

Yeah, I'm still more into LPs.

Don't worry, I'm not going to argue with you.

Would be hilarious. "The redesing is out! We just had a minor database hiccup and as a result one user's data was lost..."

"Oh, a few others went as well but they were nothing of value to the community."

Trust me, those who you'll pass in that range will help a lot. Because of them, I'm in the higher part of #101-200.

It's still sometimes annoying to see how big the gaps are to those inactive users. I mean, I wasn't inactive for THAT long, was I? I have a deposit rate of ~60%, so that means over half of the time I have been active... and yet it still allowed the gaps between me and accounts with a sign up date not as long ago as mine to become that big... highly annoying.

All you can do now is to look forward to a better deposit rate.

Oh yes, those were some good level icons. I ended at level 16 and for the 2007 redesign, my last level is the golden shurikens. Would have liked it to have been the golden sword but oh well. There's still tons of other good things that should be happening.

They're already changing shit around on Gmail. I much prefer the old layout. Something about not having buttons at the top of the email listings doesn't look right to my eyes.

Or I could try to bribe Tom with a steady supply of good german beer to set up my Exp to 30k right now. That way, my deposit rate would be at over 80%.

Well, I've just passed ramagi for 12th on the all time B/P list as well.

These achievements keep on coming.

3 more for Denvish!

Next milestone passed 13 voting power. Not really a big deal though >_<

B/P Rank: Corporal
4k total B/P

Denvish, you have been Cooped!

I have now succeeded on what I really should have managed last year, but one thing and another prevented me from getting internet access to nail those last few hundred points!

Top 11 B/Per

It's down to a matter of weeks until I catch Ehwaz for the top 10!

It seems we had 24 days left. I didn't think it would be that short. I guess Tom really wants February to be a better month as you mention and maybe finally putting out a redesign will do it.

Or he wants to get all his headaches out in Feb.

Level 53 and 30k exp points!

It counts as a level up since you whistle went up in power. As for them showing off the whistle points, Never going to happen since by doing so it would cause udder choas with the whistle system since it isn't suppose to be a stat like B/P or EXP.

Good thing there wheren't that many border changes in the past few years. Except for the crumbling of Sovjet Russia and the spawning of many many new countries, war in ex-Yugoslawia, and of course the falling of the inner-german border. But this all happened in the 90's, so it has been quiet for some time now.

Level 24, and I got a bronze whistle a while ago too. I really like this icon.. in fact I'd almost consider stopping depositing so I could keep it, but it'll probably be gone once the redesign hits anyway. Ah well :(

How do I level up? I'm new to this website.

You can gain 10 experience points by voting on 5 different flashes per day. Just click one of the pico heads to vote, then do the same 4 times again. You can only gain 10 experience points per day. When you got enough experience points, then you will level up. You can see all levels and the needed experience points here:
http://www.newgrounds.com/lit/levels
Right now, you need 20 more experience points to level up to Level 3.

There is a thread with the users that have the most medal points, gets updated every Sunday:
