Congrats to all who have achieved in my absence (Bila for top 50 EXP, Bonus for 2500 blams, tottie for rank up, shpouiten for 1000th post). I've been easing off NG for a bit recently, because I was getting too unhealthily obsessed. I've also decided that not quoting everyone who achieves and simply remembering to congratulate people saves space and makes posts easier to read. Otherwise we end up reading the same stuff loads of times... So you won't see many more multi-quotes from me.

I haven't achieved much recently :( 800 exp today which is nothing particularly special, other than a round number and 650 saves (ditto). Oh well, my time will come, no doubt.

You can vote on movies that has passed judgement without even clicking on the ''Play movie'' link ! You can get your experience points that way.

Well like Shpouiten said, movies that aren't UJ don't need you to click on anything. However, when you say it blocks off the flash portal, do you mean just the portal or all portal view pages as well or just the "Watch this movie" button?
If it's just the portal, you can easily bypass it by selecting one of your favourite movies or using search. If it's all the pages, you might need to allow those pages and if it's just the button, you can also allow the pages or there might be an override command (it stops the pop-up blocker blocking that pop-up) such as CTRL click.

As I just told you in one of those threads, it's not a service. He's not going to read your posts at all, and even if he did, do you really think it will change his behaviour? All you're doing is making the mod's job of sinking such threads more difficult. As it is, I'm not going to bother to delete his posts because then I'd have to delete yours as well to ensure that the threads didn't keep getting replied to.

But this is Wi/Ht?, not General, and thus there isn't an insane flood of new threads all the time, anyway, so it's not that pressing an issue. If, however, he continues to bump old threads, please refrain from bumping them as well, okay?

Instead, alert me or another mod and we will delete his posts so the threads return to the depths of the forum... and ban him if he continues to bump with stupid/repetitive/alreadysaid posts, as well. Don't add to the problem. Every reply to a bump is a bump itself, and if the bump was pointless, the reply to the bump is ALWAYS pointless as well.

...

anyway, I've spent much of my time on NG today and yesterday reading through this damned topic, and I have a shitload of text to post now, but I'm trying to catch up on all the other topics first so I'm not super burned out by the time I post in here.

Ever since the popularity rank was taken out and stickercount was added, I've always edited the html and put in a VP rank instead, so... I just fudge the blams and saves to be nifty, too. :::shrugs:::

How do you fudge them, and collect them at the same time o.0

If I happened to have 10005 blams and 9995 saves at a certain moment in time, I would edit the html in my profile to show 10000 blams and 10000 saves. I didn't change my total (20,000 b/p in both cases), but I fudged one stat up and one stat down the same amount so the screenie would look better.

But hell, that's just a html edit. ramagi, when she retired at 36,000 b/p, actually had Wade bump her saves and reduce her blams so that she'd have nifty numbers that still added up to 36,000. Now that's fudging dedication. #;-}>

It's like... if you can't take a photo out the window of your speeding car very well, but you can easily fudge a similar pic to the one you wanted to get on your computer... what diff does it make if it looks perfect? The ends justify the means.

So by fudge you mean, fake :o, YOU PHONY :D

By fudge OR fake, I mean edit the html of my profile. Something I've talked about doing a dozen times in this very thread. You sure haven't been paying attention. O_o Did you not even read the post you were replying to?!

"Ever since the popularity rank was taken out and stickercount was added, I've always edited the html and put in a VP rank instead, so... I just fudge the blams and saves to be nifty, too."

That said, I never fudge &quot;ahead&quot; of where I am in total b/p. I might add 30 to my protects, but I'll take 30 from my blams in return. Etc. etc.

Now that part makes no sense, it sounds like you are saying you that you can just transfer blams to saves and vice versa

Like I just said, ramagi did just that when she stopped at 36,000. But I'm talking about doing it only in the edited HTML file, not for real. For my fake screenies. As I've said... A DOZEN TIMES BEFORE. Yet again. #;-}>

again... ha ha. #;-}&gt;

Well hey its true :D

Did you run your post/my quoted post through a HTML editor or something? WTF? #;-}>

Wow, so wait how many votes did submissions used to need before that, and what was the "size" of the portal at the time.

Ehhh... I dunno, 25,000-30,000 movies, I think. Compared to a bit under 50,000 now.

heh hell of a lot of points for those that want to go up in ranks though, but...

No one will ever get b/p for helping out with a templist to raise NG's UJ mark. If we didn't get them while helping from 100 to 200 votes, why would that change between 200 and 300 votes?

By the way, how come you can't use certain words in a post but the same word is acceptable when used as a name?

That's a good question. But an even better one is why certain words are okay in reviews but not on the BBS (I only know this because I post all of my review bans on the review mod forum, and every now and then my post is rejected due to having a word you can't say on the BBS but the idiot reviewer I banned was able to say in reviews on the portal).

Same here. Think of webmail like a PO Box, while pop is your own mailbox. I had a PO Box once a long long time ago ... it was nice as I knew my physical address was going to be changing (within the same general area) every few months for the next year, but once that stopped so did my use of the box. Webmail is nice for certain things like that, but I don't use it generally.

Good analogy. And yeah, during HS when I was living in Pennsylvania, we had to use a PO Box and it was a pain in the butt to always have to drive over a hill to get to the PO and pick up mail. Tiny little parking lot with tons of cars in it, too. Huge pain.

Webmail isn't all THAT bad, I guess, in comparison... but it doesn't feel the same, and you know your mail isn't as secure.

Around the time I posted that, Miikro had already fallen behind me again. Wheee. O_o And since then, asdfsdfg was tied with me for awhile because he'd stopped depositing at level 17 and dropped back to level 16, but wanted to get back up to 17, so we were tied every day for awhile... but then he stopped again, presumably because he felt he was far enough into 17.

So, for now, I'm no longer tied with ANYONE. And boy, let me tell you, it feels nice to not have to worry about depositing before the profile rank update time. Though I almost always do so anyway.

Oh, and yes, Memento's a great movie. Unfortunately, I don't remember that exact line. I understand what it refers to, though, yes. heh.

Oy.

Heh, didn't even notice that. It's a scary world when even she has 3 digits in her post count. We'll know the world's going to hell in a handbasket when she gets 4 lol

And how!

The first part of that goal of yours is impossible. I've never worried, and never will, about people passing me in blams.

Only in overall b/p and saves alone.

~piffle~ Well, my target for the end of the year is now 42k total, so maybe that pace will worry you ;) Although the goal is not unreachable, it may be unreasonable to expect that I'll have enough spare time to hit 90/day for the rest of the year with that specific split. At pace, 30/13 is more likely. We'll see how it goes.

By the time you get to 42k, I'll likely be around 50k, so... no, I doubt it'll worry me.

90/day for 120 days is quite the insane goal, but good luck with that.

Odds on they got jack shit for 5 months of work done for the benefit OF NG ... at the end of it everyone, including the wastes of air that voted 1 time, got a generic "thanks" ... better than nothing but FAR, far less than what was deserved.

No one was promised anything by James, Tom, or Wade when we started helping out a bit over a year ago. And through the 4 months of templist work... again, no promises of anything were made. I was never even hopeful for anything besides gratitude from the admins. A whole lot of people sure seemed to EXPECT that we'd get rewarded with something more than that, or at least they desired it, but most of those people didn't really do much work, anyway. I didn't expect that one of the reasons you were bitter re: NG admin was that you felt you/me/Joe/whoever else deserved a reward for all of that... again, no reward was expected by me, and I suspect by Joe, either.

These were only motivations from September to January:
1) I wanted to help NG in general.
2) I wanted to get the new 200 vote system started ASAP.
3) I thought it would help flash authors and promote more saves in the portal.
4) I had spare time.

But in any event, when we started, Joe and I were regular users, and when we finished, both he and me had been modded. I doubt there's a connection, but perhaps you can consider our moddings reward for our templist work if it makes you feel any better about that bit of NG history. o_o

We're only now FINALLY getting the occasional point for flagged shit ... and not nearly as much as what we should be getting for them, but there's several people (not including me) that are owed 1k BPs off that crap. I'm only owed ~500.

That's another matter. I wish we'd get the blams we're owed as well, with regard to whistled stuff. Hell, I wish the whistle system would just be disabled at times. So many damned movies getting whistled for "free blam point" reasons even 3 months after Wade said to stop doing it... and for even worse reasons (they don't like the author, they're idiots, whatever).

But I'm not THAT upset about it... because, after all, no one's getting shafted while other people are getting points. We're ALL being denied the same points or GETTING the same points. Yes, you can say that the people who didn't vote on any or as many of the flashes that got whistled and later on got mass-deleted obviously didn't have as much to gain (and thus lose as much when the points didn't come right away), but... eh... the same can be said for just general b/ping.

And you should be happy :( you earned it, and why not go for gfox's VP list, with just a few more rank ups you'd get on it easy, by the looks of it you've become sad towards NG :(

Sept 4:
480.) 07.08 +0.14 Sentinel_specter +38

Sept 11:
478.) 07.10 +0.02 Sentinel_specter +2

Few more rankups, you say? #;-}>

Experience doesn't really take much focus; just deposit your 10 every day, and you're fine. And of course, I've got my pretty silver whistle; every now and then I dig through the reviews for the front page movies looking for Outwar-type reviews, but not very often.

And how high am i in hour o.0, also well you do have to come here to deposit at least :(, but it is to bad you've basically given up on reviews :(

Well, with slightly less than 1 bpph I was #120 or so on his last update, but he updates way too often. I was out of town for 3 days, so I was lucky I was even that high. My bppd rank on Dogma's weekly update is a much more accurate representation of how fast I'm moving at any time, methinks.

Try setting it right when you post your experience points. The page should tell you how much time is left in the NG day; for us Central Time Zone people, just take that time remaining and subtract from 11:00 pm. It might be hard to do this quickly, though. Another thought is looking at the latest deposits page, especially right after 11pm.

Nothing that timing-dependent is necessary. NG's clock tends to be fairly accurate.

So just go to www.time.gov and click yer time zone and then leave the page open (it'll display the accurate time, second by second) while you synch your computer's clock to it.

You haven't started school yet?!? Errr.... When I went to high school, our school year started mid-August and ended early June. Even college for me started August 30. I envy you......

Silly Kitty, school only starts in mid-August in Texas and the South and other hot places, due to schools being (mostly) well air-conditioned. Joobie's up in Canada, and they don't start till later as Augusts are sometimes hot in the North, and A/C is nowhere near as widespread or reliable up there. When I lived in Pennsylvania, for example, we didn't start school till around Labor Day. But as you point out, down here in Texas and Lousiana and so forth, public K-12 tends to start in mid August due to teh A/C. That's what it's all about.

Heh. Finally someone who smilies more than ol' gfox does.

Also, could you post the number of responded reviews you have?

Hey now, that's the top reviewers list topic's domain.

Yep It looks like I was right. I did pass someone. It has been so long. Ha something funny happened but ya'll don't know what it is. Just glad I finally have a 3 day weekend.

How could you not have been sure you'd passed someone to begin with? O_o Sorry, the concept of being in the top 20 b/p and not knowing immediately when you've passed someone is quite foreign to me. The top 50 list and the profile links in it exist for a reason, you know. #;-}>
