Yeah... I haven't posted there in ages. Infact, I can't even remember the last time I posted in that forum as a whole. Shame that since there were a lot of great threads there.

It's kind of weird how the MH emptied itself slowly. But again, some of the guys from the MH are still active on the website, so it could still be a good place if the old members would post from time to time.

Well I TRY posting there every so often. But it's hard considering how one sided it'd feel due to a lot of the users who used to frequent it leaving the site or just not even posting in there anymore. I mean we have Bren and the random post from you (HeavenDuff) or Sense-Offender. But that's really it.

That is true I am almost level 60. Getting close to max stats all the time.

It is a very rare day I visit now (maybe only a few times in the last year) but I haven't forgotten this place or all the great times it gave me. The EGB was the first crew I joined and the last I left. Its nice to be remembered. Don't forget the great @slashfirestorm and @phantom!, not to mention the late @majorpunk.

Good to see you, @Sentio! I know I left a lot of names off my list, especially @Phantom and @SlashFirestorm. There were so many good people around back in the day. Kind of wish we could get the old crew back together -- expedite the unclogging of the portal. As is a flash may sit for a week or two before it gets out of UJ.

What brought you back to NG? I'm so flabbergasted from classes I can't remember if I dropped a mention or not. :P

Indeed. I just hope to keep packing on the content and advertising NG. If it's good for the site, it's good for me.

Damn! Good memory you have there though!

Haha, good thing you called me on it or I would have forgotten a long time ago. I remember we had the Clock Crew mostly because of Clock Day. Does that still happen any more?

I don't think that Eagle's posts were deleated, at least not the ones from NG's BBS. If that's what you were talking about.

They haven't. You could probably google "Barracks Under Fire" and "NG BBS"

It is, yes. And being smartphone friendly obviously is the most important aspect here. I don't know if NG could replace YouTube, but if they could at least keep up with the technologies, then it would be a great start.

Yeah. I'm not saying we should replace YouTube. It's great advertising. We just need to change our model a little. Tom says he's looking at making every player HTML5 compatible and apps for phones and consoles, etc. Did you know NG has a Roku app?

These portals are indeed very important aspects of what makes Newgrounds great, yes. But NG seems to not be very well-known these days. I've tried sharing NG stuff on Facebook, and nobody seems to even watch the flash animations I share. But when I share newspaper links or music links I get more people to watch, read or listen to what I shared :/

You've just got to hashtag everything right. I find Google+ is actually great for sharing to communities who actually care about your content. And fb looks better when you have pages you manage, or post to pages. Messaging can also be very effective. I have more luck if I talk to people about NG in person. Several people I know knew of it but were scared to join, lol. We must not be as welcoming as we thought.

True. But didn't they stop selling merch because of lack of funds? Like... they had to make some cuts somewhere.

I believe that's the case. Maybe we users could pick up where they left off, if Tom's okay with that. I'd be fine with making a few T-shirts and selling them on Ebay, then holding up a yearly/monthly supporter bill, depending on if I made enough to cover the costs, etc.

On another note, sorry for the double post if this is one. On topic of levels, I'm expecting to hit Praporschik and level up this month.

Yes yes. But if we can drag Murray back, then at least there will be a little more of us :P

No I didn't. But again, I'm not really a programming guy, so I barely understand what you're talking about here :P It's good to know that they are working on this, though.

Newgrounds was scary to me before I joined. But I was a young teenager then :P

That's some commitment :P If you know how to make t-shirts, then you should suggest this!

Just a little tid bit on something

This post = my 18,888 post ha just thought it was kind of interesting.

Yes. I'll try to stick around too. I never was around much more than the C&C before but I plan to try to be active in the long term. Too many usernames I know from way back that I have attachment to despite them being total strangers, ya know?

I don't think we do. We only really have Pico's Day now, right?

If I remember correctly it was in August, but the Clock Crew doesn't seem to be in action these days at all.

I will !!

Link me what you find in a pm!

Basically, he wants to make NG more functional on tablets, smartphones, and consoles, so yes! I'm hoping twitter and fb embeds get worked on though

Same!

That's some commitment :P If you know how to make t-shirts, then you should suggest this!

All I'd have to do is order graphic tees online or press the NG logo on to some assorted bulk tees, really. Have all my orders go through paypal, get an address, and bingo. Ofc, I'm sure there'd be some legal shit if I ever got more than 600$ per year out of it.

Well, if you're into metal music, the Metal Hell would gladly welcome more members :)

I've found one of Eagle Rock's chapters of the Barracks Under Fire, but you'll have to go through the EGB's post. The one I found was the Chapter 4 on page 776 of the EGB.

Ah, wow. What a time capsule. A damn shame we never finished it. Eagle sort of disappeared after the debacle with Cobra like @byteslinger mentioned

Yeah, that's what I understood :)

I'm absolutely ecstatic. Seems the site keeps getting better and better

I barely do. I wasn't really in on it. Of course, I was oblivious to most of what was going on, being a little n00b.

Found another chapter
