Oh my gosh!! You guys are still here! xD
So many familiar names. I'm really happy to see that most of you are people I remember. Can't believe how well this community sticks together over the years. I am not dead, just busy coding and in school these days.
I should start making Newgrounds a regular visiting place again. It's been way too long.

Whats happened around here...
For people like me who don't spend over 30 minutes per day b/p'ing, 50 submissions per day is more than I can play still.
Thats good that they still do that and such, but that sucks. This place was were you would go if you wanted to get noticed by the community. It shouldn't only be about the money and all, but that's whats driving them now I guess.
And well, 47 is good if you think about what is the current trend for submissions. I pulled the stats for the blams this day in 2006 and there were 188 submissions only in that category. So quite the difference. Truly I could only guess that the games and videos have gotten better since I don't frequent the portal anymore. There was a lot of shit submitted then that took minimal effort, they were still entertaining non the less for the most part. Times a changing I guess.
On a side note, my 8 years is coming up very hard to believe that.

Oh hey, I remember you! :D

My BBS activity dipped for a while but I see myself lurking more and more while posting a bit more so maybe I'm springing back. I tried to find other online communities to settle with and the closest I got to was Tumblr and I'm no longer there. I guess the things that stick that are hard to go away.

As for me, my 10 year anniversary is only next Friday. Crazy to think I've been going on this site constantly for a whole decade now. BTW, welcome back man!

Yeah, doesn't seem to matter how many years pass, I always end up back here. Everybody in this community is just so cool.

For those of you that take note of such things, I've managed to jink past punisher1, while also lining up a sweet move, to Coop The-Redeemer. Now it's a case of focusing on whom I can 69 (ramagi?)
Oh my...

Level 46, what could be gnarlier than a shark with a laser on its head?
See my news post with medal hunting links and tools. I made a program NGMedals that finds your statistics and unearned medals.
There is also a browser script.

next milestone passed 27,000 Exp. Is it a big deal? May it is. Or maybe it is NOT REALLY A BIG DEAL THOUGH >_<

but passing 30k Exp would be a big deal, wouldn't it? Or... maybe not, since we don't get to see the naked pics of Tom! :(
Hit level 47. Man these level ups are taking forever now days. Good thing I like the little laser pistol icon because I've got it for at least the next 103 days.

I almost didn't remember who you were! Then I remembered the name change last time I stopped in here. Thanks, When I have time, I'd love to contribute again to this place. Seeing some of the lists around here being dead is kinda depressing and all but who knows maybe they will turn up in popularity again #;}>
I just hit level 56, beware my spikey skull mace.
Was meant to mention yesterday but my account turned 10 years old then. Damn, a whole decade being here.
Double milestone here: 13,000 Blams and total voting power of 14.
Guess it will be a VERY long time until I reach the next milestone for either of those.

Congrats! It's quite an achievement. Especially since you've been active during all those years, unlike other users who took a break of a few years shortly after they signed up... ;)
Over 190,000 medal points. Just a inch from 200,000.
129,000 B/P
Not that much, but slowly climbing the ladder!
Over 200 bbs posts, 5 fans, and a lot of buds.8-)
Don't think this counts, but according to this thread I'm in the top 100 for posts.
closing in on #89
Another thing I've managed to get. Reaching #85 in EXP. Sadly, I don't see myself gaining any additional EXP ranks until after the new year so I have a while to go until I can pass anyone else.

At times the large contributions I've made to this site scares me. At least my life has a better focus now and it isn't being stuck at home most of the time.

I wouldn't be too sad if I could stay home more often. But my employer wouldn't like that too much, I guess. >_>
But on the other hand: I have been unemployed for a few months a few years ago and it was the worst time in my life. Not knowing what to do with your life simply sucks. So I much rather have it the way it is right now.
