Long Live Bakunin!!

Errrr... I'm not quite sure I remember who Bakunin is, but those are warrant officer bars if I'm not mistake, aren't they? O_o

Bakunin was one of the "leaders" of the Anarchist movement at the beginning of last century. The symbol was an all black flag. That image I used is a symbolic version of a waving black flag from the band Black Flag. Henry Rollins was their lead singer for the last 8 years or so before the band broke up. If you've seen him in concert or at the movies, you might have noticed a tattoo on the top of his spine that looks just like that.

I didn't mean to sound harsh earlier. My gripe with you has nothing to do with experience.

It's the fact that you have come to this thread 4 times, post something completely irrelevant to our conversation, then leave. Having no regard for what the users here are talking about.

It's like if you had a thread about sprites, and you were in the middle of a conversation with your buds, and I came in and said "I like sprites!" four times, you would get annoyed too.

Anyway...

Please feel welcome to come here, and join in our conversations. And, seriously, good job on the rank ups. I had to get those too :)

I didnt mean to sound bad either, its just that I dont think it is that irrelavant to the thread, I came here four times to announce my level ups, not to be a n00b. And anyways, thanks for the compliment and I hope I dont come off as a n00b, lol

Looks like I missed out on the gfox level up discussion. I'm going to stray from the norm and say, wow gfox that gauntlet really fits you well, it's as if you were born to have that icon. ha

First off, anyone who can read all seven of my posts from the top to the middle of page 626... has read over 33k of gfoxposts. I congratulate you, whoever you are! :::salutes:::

I... see... the flag-tattoo looks awfully like an uneven chain of warrant officer bars. O_o

I know who Henry Rollins is, but I'm not very familiar with Black Flag in general. Anywho. Thanks for explaining all of that.

Ok gfox, this user is really getting annoying and constant flaming is against the rules right, even though i've never heard of you banning someone, well actually might i inquire when was the last time you did o.0

Never heard of me banning someone??! I banned 72 people between October 10th, 2003 and May 25th, 2004. Granted, 72 is not Joe or Steve or Tanner levels of bannination, but... hey, it's 73 now, okay? #;-}> It just so happens that I haven't banned anyone in the almost 3 months since then until today. The new surge of mods from May have made my slow-ass modding on the BBS mostly obsolete. A few topics locked is about all I've done on the BBS during June and July.

That said, I spend a shitload of time modding reviews almost every day.

Yeah you are definately needing of a serious flaming, any takers?

No flaming the trolls, silly. That just feeds them. Christ, doesn't anyone on NG BBS have a background in usenet? Flame the flamers, ignore the trolls. It's simple.

heh yeah i did it because Jujube is very nice on response along with http://www.newgrounds.com/gold/profile/template.php3?id=516658 that guys movies, i plan on doing Jube's (heh jube) other movies, because for some reason i just want a high response rate now :o, also of course i wouldn't STEAL THE THUNDER, i bet Zues wore a guantlet just like that ^_^, and you should celebrate and brag and such, you have the right to :)

Yeah, I should probably review all his other movies for easy responses as well, he digs my reviews. I've only reviewed his 4 HNTs and his clockday flash... how many other movies does he have? If you know offhand, I mean.

Zeus's gauntlet, eh? Heh, funny. The zeus gauntlet is a nifty item in the original Final Fantasy, which I believe casts LIT2 when used in battle. I always imagined it as a kinda opalescent blue, though, not bronze.

I find it kinda funny that Josh always talks about wanting to expand RG's userbase, but apparently the hosting deal doesn't cover enough bandwidth to even support the users we have now. That's a fairly massive problem, isn't it? Keeping RG small = perhaps a better idea, as it's cheaper.

As he said, it wasn't really that you were acting like a noob, he felt irritated by the fact that you'd just post once and leave, never replying to the people who took the time to reply to you.

You shouldn't waste your energy looking over your shoulder. My woman is slowing me down by taking up too many of my nights.

It works particularly well on firefox, where you can have loads of tabs open with all the different posts you want to quote, thus saving you lots of window juggling.

So how does it feel to return to a fist icon eh ole' chap?

Nunchaku always look good. ;_;

It feels okay. I don't have anything particularly for OR against fist levels in general. I liked the boxing glove levels, for one thing... I had 10 back in January-February 2003 and 12 a few months later, back when I was new to the BBS and all... so fond memories of those times.

This is my least fave of the high-level gauntlets, however. I prefer silver to bronze, and the gold one just kicks so much ass. I don't normally like gold, so that's even more impressive that I dig level 25's icon (I like the look of silver or platinum better in general, real life or .gif pics alike).

Anyway, thanks!

I found your post to that of a fireworks show. Replies to everyone, in variable post messages from small to large, for the entire world to see.

I myself am looking forward to the Nun-chaku but dislike the Iron and Bronze fist. But I guess everyone has their own personal taste of the levels.

Well, heres a icon I made a long time ago for the "Add more levels" topic. A katana if you will.

And so, with the fitting of the gautlet for Gfoxcook, Recon_Rebel awaits for his gift.

Ban quote? You haven't seen the actual text of the ban message. What do you mean by ban quote? The message I wrote in his thread on Wi/Ht? Yeah, that about said it all. I've also asked for an extension or account deletion for him in the mod lounge, hopefully liljim will see it.

I remember you once saying that you are probably the highest or almost the highest ranked silver out there, right around were NGling may be right now, if it wasn't for him becoming inactive you may not be ;P, but as of now i think you said you were ahead of him

I'm fairly certain NGling's fallen below me by now. He hasn't done any abusive review marking/whistling movies for... maybe 8 months now. Joe's pace has remained high, ramagi's gaining on him, I believe (I happened to notice her WP yesterday when she was marking reviews abusive along with me and we were both banning and modding at the same time)... she's only 0.12 away from his 3.00 deity mark. I'm moving up slower than I'd like, probably because I'm not doing enough whistling. Marking plenty, but not whistling enough. I just haven't been on the portal as much as I used to be. Oh wells.
