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.
Well it's not as bad as FB is. The difference between both websites is that one makes you seriously addicted to it and the other one, is that it doesn't hold you back, it let's you do your own thing in here (as long as you follow the rules of course).
I find that FB is more addicting than NG is (but that's my opinion). If you have a goal in mind, then take it. As long as you're happy and having a fun time, then that's important. (I wanted to go with the most details, but I lost my thought on it).

FB can be seen as a time sink. At least, on NewGrounds you can actually being adding to the website with posts and submissions. Most things on FB just vanish away and have little to none lasting effect.

Nobody cares about this. These are not achievements. And they especially are not your achievements.
I recently had a tweet pick up some traction and it got me 600 followers on newgrounds!
Sadly it made too much traction and twitter thought something was up so it locked me out of my account lol.

You can change it every 30 days now as long as your a supporter.
...as long as the new name's unused, right?
Assume that wasn't the case with Viper.

Congrats on the 600!

Hope you have as fun as I did if 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
Mmm, though it's nice actually being able to reach the top level too. If the last one was still dynamic I don't think I'd be anywhere near it at this point, I wonder if I'd still be fighting for it...
Double the levels would be cool though. Could for simplicity maybe just maybe copy the first set and upgrade them somehow, get all the lesser levels in more valuable golden materia. :) Could even have that as an unofficial; secret kind of continual level upgrade, where the next level of levels isn't even mentioned the wiki...
I think too high EXP requirements might just dissuade new users from trying entirely though. We've had the benefit of being here since the early days, but it can't be so fun to try to get in on this game now. When it'll take decades to catch up, if you ever do, only if older users ever stop depositing.
True, retirement only lasts a while but life is a lifetime.
That'd be a good quote...

It says 9. :) If that's not a trick question and you've maybe changed your badge with Supporter-related special features...

Curious which ones you're trying for now? Do you have a priority order?

Remember back when there were stats to gain via FB too, with the different built-in games and apps they had available, whatever those were called? it was a pretty fun place initially...

Totally agree though. This place feels like freedom, FB not so much...
This feels like an expansion on life as well, whereas FB seems more like an alternative to it. More there to get you hooked on self-gratifying responses, and comparing yourself to others, than to really contribute anything worthwhile.
Life's good as it is, and NG's an entirely different kind of realm to dabble in if you want to, IMO.

YOU REACHED EXPERIENCE RANK 400 - RIGHTEOUS!
YOU HAVE PASSED 29000 EXPERIENCE POINTS - BOSS!
YOU HAVE PASSED 199000 MEDAL POINTS - TOP-NOTCH!
The 400 experience spot took me over a year to get. I've been hovering around 403 to 404 for well over a year and I must have finally passed up some inactive to reach 400. I guess the real goal is to get within the top 400, but close enough.
This also reminds me that I should spend a week or two playing games to get to 200,000 medals. That was going to be my goal before I retired from actively playing medal games for the sake of medals, but I burnt out well before that.

Please only post achievements in quantities of 1,000. Every 100 post is not an achievement. I'll delete posts in intervals of 100 because it's just another way to boost your post count without providing anything to the community.
This is nothing against you. I would do this for anyone so don't be a crybaby and play victim.
I don't care if you think this comment is unprofessional. This isn't a professional position.
29000 blams.
I'm looking at retirement numbers. I can't see myself continuing this run of visiting long term, and I fancy ending on 30k blams and 70k saves...
