Good job!
I think I missed a deposit on Saturday. Oh well... :/
Only one way to find out: The EXP updates. :P
Makes me think what kind of motivation Afro_Stud has to continue B/Ping. I mean, he stopped being active on the BBS a long time ago and the gap between him and the 2nd spot in B/P-Points is quite large, so...
Well, what they do in their spare time is up to them, I guess but for me, I just wouldn't have that willpower to go that far. Not when I've got so much to do in the outside world.

I'll see if it ever happens before I reach level 60 but if I still do good then, I'd only wonder how far I could possibly go before I'm truly fed up with depositing.
Yeah, I feel like after level 60 there doesn't seem much else point in continuing but I would like to see how far I can go with the EXP ranks. I've already got myself in the top 100 and I would like to see that I can get even higher up.
I was using NG Logs to ensure me that I had been depositing but even that I've recently stopped using. I go by fortnight cycles. If I know it's an odd number (for the second to last digit, that is) on a Sunday when it should be then I know I'm good (apply even numbers to other weeks).I used to use NG Logs daily, so it was really easy to see if I had already deposited. But with activity declining here, my activity on NG Logs declines as well. But a quick check on the users lists there came with quite a surprise: I am in 4th spot for most Logs, haha.
I'm probably second. I would be first but I had some name changes so that's put me behind on log counts but I shouldn't have to worry about that.
Ah but when I'm working I wouldn't even think of going on Newgrounds anyway. And besides, there are other sites that I'd much rather spend my time with than here.Well, there are days when there's not much to do...
It will be a very low priority thing. :P
At least have Skype or something.I would use Skype too, if it would work with pidgin. But to use Skype with pidgin, I would have to start up Skype as well. That's useless... also, Microsoft reads and listens to everything you do in Skype. :P
Are you really that paranoid about what Microsoft will try and do with Skype? How many people would they have to monitor 24/7? Yeah, I don't think there's anything to worry about.

So, yeah, I am officially retired from b/p'ing. Talk about bittersweet... :\
That's a good place to stop for sure. Hopefully you don't get any additional blams coming in. That happened to me but at least I was able to get the extra blams cut off.

I may have never used the NG store but the fact that it's going as well as the office are strong signs of the decline of the site. Although now they'll be spending less, it is still going backwards bur I suppose not much can be done at this point.

Yeah, I had my fun for one night, although I wasn't meaning to do any of it but it happened. I really didn't do much for it to happen. I was just enjoying my night as usual and she was just buying me some drinks and at some point she got ahold of my arm and it wasn't long until we started making out. Thankfully this is over and done with and now I can return to my real intentions.
Eh, I don't really like email too much as a form of communication. Although I email Afro_Stud occasionally, I'd much rather use other forms of communication.Well, at least I could shoot you an email every once and again if one/both of us leave here someday, just to see how life's treating you and all that.
You can always do that or at least see if Facebook or Twitter becomes your thing somewhere down the road. :P
Nothing against the guy but I do wonder why some users would even insist on collecting so many points after a while. Although, I tend to wonder where I'd be now if I never stopped. Perhaps be one of the top 5 but that's not something I ever want anyway and I'm glad I don't dedicate all my free time to the portal. I may have done so back in the day but that was when it was far more active and when I was aiming to reach Supreme Commander. That and I was far less sociable than I am now so.Yeah, I'm much the same way. Back in the early days of my account then later in 08-09 I used to be in the Portal nearly all day. I've decided to stop at 50k because I just don't see myself gaining another 50k b/p, or even another 10k, for that matter, especially with it being less active these days. Just seems like a good place to stop with the high paces...
And I like my 77,777 retirement still. That still looks good to me! It would be cool to stop at 77,770 EXP but that's a long way off. :P
