Yes, nglogs is always giving me issues. I have tried relogging in, resetting it, and even restarting my computer. That website seems to just be wanky at times.


I do not know any solution to the problem. I just take a break and try it hours later.

Any time that I retried on the same day it would not log. It worked fine today. I believe I recall this having happened at least once in the past as well within the past couple months.

I have similar issues as well. I stopped checking it every day. I check it like three times a week, and it seems to work better for me.

Maybe I can shed some light on this dilemma:


NGLogs keeps track if you've logged your stats for any given day or not. If you access the site and use your Newgrounds ID to log in, if there is no data for you today, it will go out and auto-poll for you, and report it as such. Subsequent visits to NGLogs on the same day will NOT update your stats for the day, so if you do it in the morning, and then try again in the evening, it won't update, keeping the data from the first scan in the morning.


With that in mind, remember that you don't need a password to access the site, so if someone else logs in with your ID earlier in the day, they will trigger the first poll, and when you go in later (not knowing that someone beat you to it) you're surprised that it won't update.


And..... There is the monthly auto-poll that occurs on the last day of every month, usually during the day, that scans through ALL 5,700+ users in the database, and creates a daily / monthly poll snapshot for each user. So that means that all users will have stats for the day automatically - and again, if that runs in the afternoon, and you log in later, the stats are still from earlier.


From a user standpoint, if you weren't aware of all of this, it would appear that the auto-poll wasn't working once in a while.


Occasionally, the programmers at Newgrounds may change some underlying HTML or design aspect of the user pages which confuses the scanner program until I make the adjustments in the program to read the new layouts. This usually is seen as no poll data for the day, or all zeros / blanks. When this happens, I'm usually notified by many key users who let me know what's going on, and I get on it ASAP.


Hopefully, this will shed some light on the issue - and, of course, if you're having any constant issues with the site, please PM me right away and I'll look into it.

These both make a lot of sense, I would imagine it's very likely any time this has happened this would be the reason. Thanks for all your hard coding, maintenance, and hosting work on this project!!!

Thanks man.


If you keep going with organic posts like this I'm sure you'll get there again soon. :) I do remember what it feels like to have stuff deleted en masse, it definitely does suck, I sympathize with the feeling, but focusing on that which has gone and might go seems a lost and depressing cause... better strive for that which will hopefully be eternal.

I changed the username back when it was something you had to ask permission for. It didn't redirect like the new usernames do. I captured it back again one day. I don't remember why, I just decided I always wanted to keep the name.


My first thread shows my original username get quoted, you even posted in it..., but only because I bumped it 4,000 years later.

It can happen randomly, and sometimes it happens to you on purpose by a hater mod. Either way it can be a real pain in the ass. If you want to have something of value here, you have to be willing to fight for it. It also reminds us all, that there is no escape from NewGrounds. NewGrounds can literally consume your life if you allow it.

I know right. I have tried to escape NewGrounds twice, but both times I was dragged back in by petty hater mods. I would have loved of to have left back in 2017, but a certain rubbish loser prevented it. Said loser, has left the website since.

Oh well, what can you do?

Online time stands still taking a year to attain a goal appears to be unrealistic. Instant gratification. Level 60 or 61 needs to be dynamic or double the levels. I prefer the former trying to reach the -1 final level brought back lots of nostalgia

Are you sure? There are literally two mods arguing over sucking cock a few posts above this one.


Yes, I do agree that NewGrounds can be addicting. The entire website is built in a way to drag you in. Almost, like a giant video game with no end. I have been on NewGrounds since 2002, and on this account for over 17 years. I have had to regain lost posts, reviews, and medals over and over again.


Luckily, I have been able to accomplish almost all of my goals so far. Once I reach them all, will I finally be able to rest?

Of course I remember you man. I can guarantee you that we aren't deleting your posts though. They're absolutely from old accounts wanting deleted and then losing everything attached to them, even the threads they make.
