It really is hard to tell. So many things can happen in those 5 years.

Hmm, five years ago I just left college. Damn, it's really taken this long to get a permanent full-time job? What a pathetic country I live in.

That's the more important question. Activity is really taking more and more of a hit.

Maybe it will become more active again, with HTML5. There are more and more HTML5 games in the portal. That's a good sign.

Yeah, having HTML5 support is a step in the right direction, even if it means to go beyond Flash but like Tom said, their development has been far too slow over the last few years.

Well, it could be a while until you see pictures of me dressing up as a dragon but it must be done.

A dragon dressing up as a dragon. Now that's something I HAVE to see. ;)

Dragonception!

And Tom claims the unicode problem is looked into now. That is good to hear because 9 months without using the pound sterling symbol correctly is pathetic.

And let's not forget the inability to spell "Motorhead" correctly!

The pound sterling issue is much much worse. ££££ Even euros fuck up on the BBS as well.

I thought McDonald's were meant to be the cheapest. What the hell happened there?

What I meant was, that prices may vary from McD to McD. For example, in some restaurants a Cheeseburger costs 1 Euro, in others, it's 1,11 Euros. And at that one overpriced McD (which happens to be located in the red light district of Hamburg) it's even more expensive.

I much prefer Burger King anyway or better yet, the game shop I go to that provides hot food.

Well it's a strange update if I've managed a deposit or two with the rusty old machine, C0GMA, these days :P

You hardly deposit with that nowadays?

If any religious views are brought up in conversations, I'll try to shrug it off but not disapprove of anything they believe in.

Yep, I've learned that ideal as well.

Yeah, I've had a rough patch or two over religious issues. It was unintended but it just had to go a step further than it had to be.

Guinness has quality in time. Jagerbombs are only a few seconds.

You've never tried to sip a Jagerbomb :P Priceless.

Only once or twice I've done that. Besides, I've yet to meet Tom so I get priority over you as to what he gets a free drink of and who from. :P

Good, we've been through this many times and we accomplish so little. Well, at least the three of us will be in London in January so this will be fun.

At this stage, I would be interested to hear Gagsy's take on this...

She's far too used to it at this point.

A lot of the submissions said they were done for a project for university. A university prof. probably told his students to submit their submissions to NG.

If only that happened more often.

This is just a fucking joke!!!!!

Entries submitted yesterday: 101
Entries blammed yesterday: 0

I managed 49 Saves which effectively means I wasted 52 '0' votes. Come on now people, get serious, have some ethics, grow a conscience and stop saving ridiculously shitty flash movies and games. Don't be afraid to hit the '0' and '1' buttons, they don't bite and that feeling of satisfaction you get from attaining a Blam point instead of a Save point is just wonderful. Let's work together and save Newgrounds from the Savewhores. Don't be part of the problem, be part of the solution.

How eloquently put gamejunkie. Problem is most of the users here (including some of the mods) don't give a shit about the quality. They just want the points so they can move up the list. Plain and simple.

I decided to be a bit more harsh with my voting because of me getting on the top 10 gainers list for saves. I don't consider myself being easy on people when it comes to voting, I think I probably just vote 2 a bit too often instead of 1 or 0.

These are my gains for the last day:
Blams: 5265 (+2 since last log)
Saves: 33926 (+45 since last log)

Why would we ban you? You're always welcome around here.

170,000 Total Points

Now I know that there's over 2,500 points not counted, due to my spreadsheet not counting total medals so far, but given that I will add these to the spreadsheet for 2013, I'll be keeping a personal track of them then.

Oh, and since we where talking about german songs earlier, here's a nice quote from Mark Twain:

Burger King is bad. The only thing worse than Burger King is Hesburger. But I think every single restaurant in Hamburg has been closed down. Serves them right for selling so badly tasting food!
