Level 38.

The 2007 version of level 38 was one of my favorites. I don't like this version much. And the next level sucks.

Congrats.

Level 53. Fair enough I suppose.

31,000 Experience Points!

Nine years on NG!

This should be a joyful milestone but my news post says otherwise. Just shows how much I've changed myself this year alone and how close I'm getting to the end of my time on here.

Well, since you and Coop aren't posting here as much, I often find myself not knowing what to respond to, which really sucsk. Also the overall activity has been declining here so much that I rarely check the BBS for new posts. Hell, I even think I might have missed a deposit this week, but I'm too lazy to check, heh.

Anyway, I will still reach 30k Experience, but from that on, I don't know how far I can push myself.

Congratulations to

Yes, that is a long long long-term goal, haha.

I just saved my last flash on Newgrounds.

38,000 saves.

You guys have probably noticed by now, but I've stopped making lists here.

I'm more than a little under a cloud over work (factors beyond my control), cricket (my situation with the various aspects of club admin) and personal life, so Newgrounds has sadly taken a back seat of late :(

Congratulations to

VinnyXY: level 31, 10,000 exp.
Martin: 15,000 exp.

I'd say you've come to the point where its level 60 or bust. I never understood users who came within 1000 points of reaching Supreme Commander and just quit. I mean, even if you don't care anymore, you obviously did enough to get so close -mind as well finish the job for old times sake, you know? :P

So, the discussion is long dead around here and I'm officially the last user making congrats lists. Being the only one left is starting to feel slightly pointless; I just feel bad for these guys who come to the lul to post their achievements. It sucks having your level ups going unrecognized, yet I feel that's the way it's going to end up before too long.

You know Newgrounds is in a bad way when a thread like the level up lounge is fading away. :(

Cheer up people! Summer holiday has ended, so me, along with probably a lot of other people, are just busy with their school/work again. I'll be getting medals soon. :3

Anyway, the top 1,000 in experience is a pretty awesome achievement for me. If you count b/p as one stat, I think I'm in the top 1000 for each stat now.

It's a domino effect, really. When some of us don't post in a while, none of us do but when some of us start posting here again, it picks up but not by a whole lot. I could add a fair amount of discussion here but how much of it will be responded to?

Also the overall activity has been declining here so much that I rarely check the BBS for new posts. Hell, I even think I might have missed a deposit this week, but I'm too lazy to check, heh.

The latest EXP update suggests otherwise.

I'm still going to aim for level 60 but I'll have to see how I feel about the site from now until then. I still want to see if I can go beyond level 60 and still continue to deposit as I did before but when I look at the latest update, I can see a lot of people who are level 60 are starting to slip up. I actually wonder when the day I slip up one day with missing a deposit is going to happen as there's been plenty of days where I thought I didn't deposit but still did so.

That's just how life goes. While I have more free time than you do, slowly but surely my life gets occupied by other things. Years back I only went out of the house twice a week and Wednesday was only for a few hours whereas Saturday was just the afternoon. Now I'm finding myself out all day on Wednesday, Saturday and going Friday night. I do what I can to keep myself occupied whilst in unemployment but when I DO get a full-time permanent job, that will leave me with hardly any free time to have and I'd like to spend my spare time on more important things.

There's that factor of spending my free time more wisely when I'm on the laptop. While I should try and play video games on my laptop more often, I've made a good decision to dedicate more time on Twitter and Tumblr where I have acquired more contacts for this year alone. I've even managed to meet a few people from Tumblr and I hope to see more from that site in the near-future. It's much better to find common interests from a more active site as such as Tumblr as opposed to Newgrounds so this is why I spend less and less time on here.

If some of us leave here permanently, I would like to acquire contacts of you all before you move on because I'd like to still speak to some of you even when NG is hardly in your interests anymore. Sadly some of you aren't accustomed to social networking so keeping in touch won't be that easy. Thankfully I have Coop on Twitter and some of you on Steam but if not, how will you stay in contact with us?

They say that but in reality the activity is dying really hard. I hate to jump on the "NG is dying" bandwagon that's going around a lot these days but just look at the statistics. There's much less discussion going on as opposed to years back. Hell, even a few years ago was more active than this. Where it is now has become a new low and the fact that Tom has been looking to revert the NGHQ back to working in houses as opposed to an office just shows the direction this site is heading to.

just kidding. ;)

It's still a long way until I can reach level 60. And 1000 B/P points take a long time as well. But I know what you mean. ;)

Just keep going. Others might join in. I have seen quite a few users doing lists for some time, so I'm sure others might start doing it as well.

That's good to know. I just had the feeling: "Wait, did I deposit my Exp yesterday? Oh well, propably not..."

as there's been plenty of days where I thought I didn't deposit but still did so.

Yes, that has just happen to me. If you just come here to deposit the Exp then it kind of gets hard to keep track of wether you did deposit or not. If I can also come here to post on the BBS, then it's much easier fo me to remember if I did deposit or not. ^^

but when I DO get a full-time permanent job, that will leave me with hardly any free time to have and I'd like to spend my spare time on more important things.

Easy, just find a job that doesn't block newgrounds. :P

ICQ / AIM / MSN (if it would work properly with pidgin... but it doesn't) / Jabber
That are enough IMs to choose from, right? :P

I really am surprised at how fast activity is declining. It was on a constant rise until that one Clock Day with over 1000 submissions, and then? Well... it's been going downhill ever since.
On the other hand, Newgrounds is a very old site and there propably aren't many sites with such a long history.

Level 31!!!!!!!!!!
And I guess I'll be posting again tomorrow when I go over 10,000 experience points.

Let the weird levels commence.

Kinda worded that badly as I wasn't trying to compare gaining 1k b/p to how far you still have to go to reach level 60. Sorry. :P As far as 1k b/p taking a long time, well, I guess that depends on who's collecting them. ;)

Just keep going. Others might join in. I have seen quite a few users doing lists for some time, so I'm sure others might start doing it as well.

Yeah, but am I the first user to be the ONLY one making them? :P I don't plan on stopping yet, but it's kind of a bummer being the only one doing them.

Yeah, users like Afro_Stud always seem to get every B/P point there is to get.

I think Coop once was the only listmaker for a while. So you are not the first one. And even if you are, remember: You are not alone! :3

Classic Level 25.

It took me forever!

I am Level 31 now and I also have 10,000 Experience points.

Gotta say that I didn't really like Level 30 and I am glad that the gun is gone (huehehe), I like all those upcoming ninja and samurai weapons up to Level 40 so that makes me pretty happy too. Also like that sword that I have right now, so in my opinion Level 30-40 is probably the best row of level icons in the current design.

4000 experience points,level up happens tomorrow!

The level 20 icon is much better than my current one.

Just got my Gold Whistle today!

Next milestone passed level 47. Even though I finally got my new marvin the Martian laser icon it is not really a big deal >_<

I feel like a bit of a fraud, now I'm coming in here soley to show off m achievements...

91,000 Saves

Your experience gave you a voting power of 8.35 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 60% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth 13.37 votes!

Finally passed 8k blams, took long enough!

In The Top 2,000 For Experience!!!

42,000 saves.
Also, UOTD on NGLogs!

I like to offer my congratulations to:

Painbringer: level 25! Still love that classic icon!
Asandir: Level 31 and 10k experience points!
The Red555: 4k Experience!
Nimhster2: Getting gold whistle! Keep whistling!
LittleWashu: Level 47!
Coop: 91k Saves! You're still the man Coop.

RohantheBarbarian: 8k Blams!
Decky: Top 2,000 experience!
Martin: 70k B/P!
sandwich-eater: 42k saves and UTOD on Ng Logs!

I seem to have reached level 59! Huzzah!

Just one more level before I reach the covenant last step. It's nostalgic to think back to how I first started with Newgrounds and coming back day after day, voting on flash movies and games of a diverse mix. I gotta say.. the animation standard has significantly grown since then.

I'm glad to see that this thread has continued its long and cherish tradition of congratulating others and themselves. It's in my opinion, still one of the most effective way to get approval from your fellow Newgrounders. Rock on guys.
