Hehehe, I checked out the "last deposits list" and noticed your name there. Then I thought "Hmm... wasn´t him going to level up?" and I remember that you said here that soon you will be level 12.

So I said Congrats before anyone else :D

Yes, that badge is pretty sexcellent. Congratulations D0GMA (yes, I used the whole word for once). The extra VP and screenie is pretty sweet.

^^ and gfox just gave me an idea for an even better one ... 4 posts (including this one) and 2 hours to go ... obviously I'll have to do a little editing to get it to all fit though

Here's something really whacked. After I read Tom's thread I wandered over to sign up for "shits n giggles" yesterday. Amazing how much trash shows up there that I just finished blamming here ...

Is there a difference between flipsided points and exp?

They are xp. watch it though. You get 1 point per vote and can deposit any time up to and including 10 points. If you vote on 11 or 15 or whatever and haven't depositted ... no soup for you

Only 31 people have 20 exp or more?

artists also earn 5 xp if a flash of theirs makes it. Most of the people who have more have flash on the site.

You have 45 'curb' points and you're already ranked no. 1?

47 now. plus 13 "keeps" keeping me ranked 8. So now comes the fun part. How do I have 60 points, when I can guarantee I haven't voted on more than 25 or 30 UJ flash?

That place sucks.

~shrug~ it's new and you can get in on the ground floor is about all it has going for it at the moment. What really sucks at this point is that UJ lasts for ... count em ... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, SIX votes. I throw a 2 at one of the top flashes that's at 3.4 or whatever and the thing drops to 3.37 or lower. Things like that are why NG bumped base up to 200 votes ... less effect of any one vote.

way to be original and stand out.

Splitting (and dynamic ranking of them) of "curbs" and "keeps" are features I'd like to see here, but flip only is dealing with 600 users to rank. I can't imagine him doing dynamic ranking if/when he hits 5k users

I'll be really interested to see if I "rank up" over there at some point. With the splitting ... it's most likely going to occur separately for each if at all ... or maybe like you need a minimum of 50 in each to get to the first "rank". There doesn't appear to be any VP per se and the lack of vote volume required to pass judgment is going to be a real problem in short order.

Doncha just hate it when they steal your thunder like that ;)

I would like to say congrats to dogma for his new badge!

thanks much =)

Also, even though you all know, I leveled up!
Level 12! Hazzah!
The last level went by faster then I thought, other then the last few days.
Level ups usually feel better then new Badges, though you get a bigger point boost from a new badge, the amount of time it takes to get to a new level is much more!

So true, so true ... even if it is the icon I like least lol

Well, grats to you for making it ... now just get past it to the weapons ^^

That's why I stayed at Retrogade after joining it. Their current lvl 30 user (DaFreak_B_ or summat) is only on 4,660 xp last time I checked. Plus, you can get 20 xp per day (10 for clicking a free 'DEPOSIT XP' link in your user menu, and another 10 for voting on 5 entries in the Photoshop Portal) so things are moving a lot faster. I've begun my first big level over there now. It's nice to see a fresh set of level icons.

OK recon i sent off my vote you may get an e-mail from g-fox cause i couldnt find you, but anyways the vote i sent you via e-mail is my choice...

Haha, congrats on figuring out how to deposit and making it to level 2 (at least that's what I think you're getting at). Just 28 levels to go, and at this rate you'll make it in 28 months! Don't forget to deposit, or it will take longer!

Haha I'm so cruel...

In the name of Pure_LionHeart I will say/shout:

I got to the top #100 in b/p!

In the name of -Alpe- I will say:

Congrats dude! Well done.
Just try not to spam or sumthing, so you wont get banned anymore and I wont have to write this kind of texts for you ;D

Ha ha, congrats to him. I have been wanting to get into that top 100 for a while, but I don't do nearly enough blamming or protecting. In fact, I have reached a stagnant point... I'm at that rank (around 250) where a lot of people in my ranking blam and save a lot, so if I don't do it for even one day my ranking drops. I remember the good old days when I could jump nearly 5-10 places in the b/p rankings daily, and now I'm just hovering. Today marks the first day I've actually slipped, and it sucks >{

Oooo pretty screenies all collaged into one ... too bad the BP Rank doesn't end in a 0 too ;)

I wonder if passing on messages from banned users should be against the rules? It sort of ruins the point of banning them in the first place. I know I've done it before, but the thought hasn't occured to me until just now.

Heh, it looks funny, having a conversation with your own text in the same post.

I think it is, seeing as it says in the rules about doing anything to try and get around the rules will result in a ban, and that is kind of what is going on, though I might be wrong.

Yes, I just saw you post it. Nice job. Now your profile is perfect. Except for those 5 exp.

Do entries take a long time to pass judgement and you voted on them twice? And keeps keeping? Blam/Save is over ten times better than Curb/Keep.

That place sucks.

~shrug~ it's new and you can get in on the ground floor is about all it has going for it at the moment.

I guess, but I wouldn't want to go there. It seems like NG with a few differences from all the screenshots I've seen (eg, an FS-Bot with a VERY similar message) and getting a top rank within that short period of time just kill the chances of going back there.

What really sucks at this point is that UJ lasts for ... count em ... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, SIX votes. I throw a 2 at one of the top flashes that's at 3.4 or whatever and the thing drops to 3.37 or lower. Things like that are why NG bumped base up to 200 votes ... less effect of any one vote.

That really does suck. I mean if even 5 people got angry with one of the artists over there, the flash could be 'curbed' within a minute. And if it passed judgement, the score could reach a low score very quickly.

Congrats to Osama, Baron and Dogma on their recent milestones and level ups.....Also if i missed anyone congrats, well done people.

Man, it feels like ive had nothing decent to party about recently, no soon level ups or good milestones. Well maybe that i got under the 2000 rank for blams and saves, and i only have 700 odd, lol.

Also which i find kinda weird is, i got my 6666 post yesterday and im ranked 1666 in experience......Coincidence ? I think not.

There were a few instances (3 or 4) where I got to vote twice on a flash and got points for both. It still doesn't explain how I have 62 points in 2 days when the most recent flash is entry #200. Of course, I do know what happened with most of my "curbs" ... and that he fixed it this afternoon lol.

I guess, but I wouldn't want to go there. It seems like NG with a few differences from all the screenshots I've seen (eg, an FS-Bot with a VERY similar message) and getting a top rank within that short period of time just kill the chances of going back there.

Wander tehir forums a bit. There's people spouting off left and right about "pwning NG" and other drivel of that ilk. Flip himself, OTOH, seems to have his head on straight about it ... doesn't seem as if he has the delusions of grandeur ... just trying to get the site running and wait and see what happens.

That really does suck. I mean if even 5 people got angry with one of the artists over there, the flash could be 'curbed' within a minute. And if it passed judgement, the score could reach a low score very quickly.

If ONE person you mean lol It's all new, so even if there is a VP of some sort, we're all essentially tied at 1VP anyway atm. Even so, one person on one account can seriously mess someone's scores up by throwing 5s or 0s at it. Start throwing alts into the mix and that one person could make or break any UJ. Even presuming the author 5s his flash, 5 0s break it.

Presumably the author is (or was) allowed to vote on their flash, but recently I've seen entries park UJ with no votes, or just mine, for a half hour plus.

NG only recently got around to listing the ranks we have. Most of the info prior to that was gleaned from watching ramagi rank up lol

That site better do some updates, because I don't see much of a future for it at the moment.

The latest fun one is that they recoded the portal at ~3:30 this morning. He tried to encrypt the site, which promptly screwed everything up because the server wasn't able to read the DB info and vice-versa ... pages missing backgrounds, black 12 point pica Times Roman fonts on dark blue table backgrounds, etc. I caught the "fixes" along the way. He's now got the page communicating directly with the DB server, but you (client) run through a page called trick.php, which is just the javascript gibberish encryption, before you get to it, so that's the "page" you get when you view source on it now. When he essentially jacked the formatting and layout from NG, I fail to see any purpose whatsoever to encrypting it ... besides, I already had one of the source codes up comparing it with NG, so I just saved it. Anyone want a copy? :-P~~~

It runs out at 6,550 characters. Unless you start running a list, or doing multi-replies like I usually do, you won't typically run into a problem. The gold/white breach is roughly 6500 characters, presuming you actually use every space. Putting a space between paragraphs chews up one of the allotted gold lines, but actually only costs you a space. Visually you'll see a pargraph take up (like your comment above) 5 lines, but the reality is, each line ends in spaces you did not actually use as the word wrap kicked in. It's actually kind of difficult to get to the limit. My gold/white breach was right through the middle of "communicating directly with the DB server, but you (client) run", half of each word in gold and half in white, but I'll bet I still have 1k characters or more left just from here.

On some computers/browsers/whatever, the background doesn't move. I find that much better than scrolling down and seeing a blank yellow/orange (and eventually white) background. Congrats on your first long post, even though most of it seemed to be quotes. ;)
