How did you get the most recent deposits list to come up j00bie? Right after voting I tried to see if I deposited before you but the list was blank and didn't start to record people until 30 seconds after midnight. Is it a glitch or something?

This is why I don't deposit until 1 to 2 AM NG time. I like to see all three of my accounts on the 50 most recent deposits list at once each night, and if I deposit earlier... not only do I have to be fast to get all three on at once... but the list is prone to reset more often due to the huge amounts of people depositing all at once (I think it overloads and glitches or something). That can happen even at 1 or 2 AM, but it's not as common.

It's quite elementary: joobie loaded it up before you did, and it hadn't glitched yet.

Ah yes, another reason I don't deposit right away, I shoulda mentioned that. That sometimes last fall, I'd manage to deposit for both of my (at that time 2) accounts within a good timespan, but one of my deposits wouldn't show up on the list, despite the list being intact all the way down to #50. That probably happens for the exact same reason that the list sometimes resets during deposit-rush-hour, as I like to call midnight-1AM NGtime.

My advice to all of you: try for 01:00:00 AM instead. :::nods:::

Speaking of that page of that thread... saw something you posted there and I wanted to clarify it:

At 9/6/04 12:31 AM, D0GMA wrote: Same time zone. NG does daily recalcs at 4:35-4:40am. That time is grandfathered in from when the entire system shut down every even day for an hour between 4am and 5am for maintenance, and 4am-7am every odd day ... or odd and even, same result. It being (yet another) lull, it seemed an appropriate time to catch an hours nap.

That time isn't exactly grandfathered in. Back when the maintenance was going on in June of 2003 and earlier, the profile update time was actually around 3:30 AM, not 4:35 AM. Plus, there were two other update times when the top 50 lists updated. Hell, I'm finding it hard to remember when they were, but basically at 3:30 AM, 12:30 PM, and 10:30 PM, I think.

liljim changed it to 4:35 AM many months after the maintenance shifted to just Sundays (and then not at all) only because pushing it an hour further into night/morning put it in an even smaller-traffic time period. In effect, once maintenance was gone, as it HAD been taking up that best hour for server stuff to take place in... the update time shifted into its spot to take advantage of that very fact.

Ah, thanks for the link RC. I almost wish I was there to see it, heh. It was hilarious seeing the real DLA stressing out about being banned. Similar names won't confuse the mods; bans are handed out from individual posts and as such, if DLA had done nothing wrong, there was nothing to worry about. I'm tempted to imitate DLA's name, just to piss him off. Heh. I think he's had enough though.

Yeah, it was great. :::rolls eyes:::

You might have also noticed, in DLA's topic, him freaking out about "Dobio" e-mailing him and demanding he apologise to the entire BBS. He also e-mailed me twice and freaked out about an e-mail from "gfoxcook" saying much the same, or to "contact me on the BBS" or something.

Of course, all the mail from both "mods" were faked by the same people who faked being him on the BBS. It was a very tiresome morning, exactly a week ago come to think of it now... and I had less than 24 hours till I was leaving town, and didn't need to be wasting my time that way.

It was a total mess. Pussy topics everywhere.

Most were old topics, though, not new ones. Which made it harder for me to clean it up, of course... especially with about 12 regs replying to some of the topics. I deleted dozens of posts that morning. Aye.

I wouldn't call it a total mess, though. About 30 bumped topics, a few more topics made by the spammers, and about 5 topics made by 3rd parties going "WTF IS WITH ALL THE PUSSY TOPICS?!?!" like idiots.

I've seen worse. Others have cleaned up worse. Just ask Joe about the time he was the only mod on during the portal hijacking in January 2004... when everyone who viewed a certain flash autoposted to General. Those were new topics, though, so they were easy to delete, so... maybe this was more of a mess than that, eh... :::shrugs:::

Everything had "Newgroundsisfun" or "Darklilangell23" as the last post. I really felt bad for gfox as he was the only Mod on at the time and I just sat there imagining what he was doing. Probably made him feel good that he could do something about it, but I know the guy was dead tired.

Well, thanks for the pity. #;-}>

Didn't make me feel good, really. I was glad I'd seen the topic here in Wi/Ht? before I logged off, though. And I was quite surprised to be doing some modding in General, as I seldom do so anymore with all the new mods who hang out mostly in General.

However, just the day before yesterday I happened upon a spam topic in General and handed out 14 bans (most ever in one day for me) right before Ron noticed the topic and locked it just as I was finishing the bans and he was about to start (I'd left it open as I was going to post about the bans AFTER handing them out, plus I wanted to see how many more fools replied while I was banning everyone else... turned out only 2 did).

They then started to spam Wi/Ht, but only got three posts and one topic here before Greg deleted them all.

I didn't delete them all. I deleted many many posts, but left some as evidence. And then an admin came on within an hour and just deleted both their accounts. My work sinking the pussy topics was still worthwhile, though, because... as I said, a lot of regulars had replied to many of them, and those topics still would have been on the 1st page of General garnering replies had I not sunk 'em back down into the 2000/2001 depths.

It was quite a sight to see.

Aye.

And privacy issues out both ears. The reason they give you 1 gig of storage free is that they're charging money to advertisers to scan your e-mails with a program that inserts ads based on the words in the e-mails you receive from other people/companies. Which is all fine and good, but what if said advertisers start to want to receive more and more info on gmail users/users who send e-mail to gmail accounts... etc. etc. etc.

Huge privacy advocate uproar over the whole thing.

I use mine for mailing lists only so I don't imperil any friends or colleagues with their private, personal mails to me being stuck on google's harddrives forever (even if you DO ask for something to be deleted, there's no guarantee that it can't be undeleted by google... in fact, they may be already for all we know).

Not to sound paranoid about Google, I think they're a good company. But things can always change in the future, and many smart people think the way gmail is being run is a bad first step towards total e-mail privacy violation in the future.

Thanks. But the problem with your particular brand of gfox style posting is that you leave no spaces between your replies and the quoted text, or even between your reply and the NEXT batch of quoted text. Which works fine for us reading it on the BBS, but it looks like shit when we're replying to it, and it's hard to tell what's from you and what's from the guy you're replying to.

Three 10s, probably would be more triples if everyone was listed.

Dammit, Shit. I was going to post the exact same thing.

I'm also confused, but someone will eventually tell us and we would have learnt our new thing for today.

And here are today's first depositers, or at least the ones who showed up. Yay!

Oh well, I guess Newgrounds just hates me. Probably has a right to, considering I'm pulling close to 100,000 profiles off of their servers right now. :-D Speaking of stat pulls, I'm working on a program to make a top 25 nightly first deposits list. I'm trying to work out how it will work. Here's the plan right now:

* The list will be run nightly, and archives will be kept (it'll be a small list)
* One list will contain the first 25 deposits for each night
* First place is a gold medal, second is a silver, third is a bronze
* Another list will have a list of everybody who has gotten a medal, along with their medal counts

Okay, here's the thing: to compare total medal counts on that second list, how should I assign points to the medals? I'm thinking 10 for gold, 5 for silver, and 2 for bronze. Any ideas?

but... would it mess up NG if everyone tried to deposit all at the very same time?

Do we need to take this so seriously? I just want to be first once and then I can move on with my... online life. I'm not even sure where the posts will be held for it, this topic would have to be called "Wi/Ht? level up and first depositers! lounge" or a new topic, which wouldn't be too popular since only a few people would even care and other then stopping the depositers from posting it here, it's not really a need.

Yes, about the medals, can they be cookies? And obviously not gold, sliver and bronze cookies, but maybe baked choc-chip, home-made, and plain? Since I just see this as a 'fun' little list, they could really be anything, but medals just seems too much for depositing first.

Cookie counts, that could work.

Unfortuantly, if someone misses out by less than a second (and with a system like this, if they don't deposit on 12, they've already lost) they're not going to be happy and some might start having five windows open at the same time just to deposit first, which would screw around with NG.

It would probably be a new thread. And yes, the thread might die out after a while. But I'll put links in my sig, and hopefully I'll be able to keep people visiting it. At least the medal (or cookie) counts will help draw people in.

Yeah, I suppose I could modify it a little bit...

Um....I usually have at least ten windows open.....o.O

Yeah, it messes up. Just take a look at my messed-up deposit time ranking posted a few posts up. Err.....

Actually, this post has made me stop and think. Perhaps this will just be a hand-maintained list of the top three "first depositers" cookie counts. Only people that have gotten in the top three on any night will be in the list, and it will be sorted by the number of "cookie points". It'll be a nice, simple list, one that I could probably maintain by myself, rather than making a program. I might make a program that will pull the top three for me each night, though, because that page tends to fly by.

That's ok, as long as it's some and not 41903654 people.

Excellent, it must have cookies, I mean, it must have co... ol modify... stuff.

10?!?!! It's just to see who can deposit first, not a life and death situation. And you still didn't win today, or other days for that matter?

Sounds better, I mean if no one remembers second, who's going to remember being 25th? And they can check anything higher than third if they want on the normal list if it doesn't screw up.

That's good, I hated it when I was close to 12, yet didn't have any idea of who was first because the list messed up. And no one else could find out either.

Oh gee-fox, you bring a tear to my eye. Since I have begun posting (2004-05-27), there have been 6633 posts (including this one) in this thread. I have contributed 156 of those. That's only 2.3%, you know. You are calling me a spammer? Heh, j/k. ...sorry :(

Excuse me, I got second the other day =P

Yup, this program waits until there's 5 people with 12:XX:XX deposit times (just in case), then it saves a copy of the deposit list to my hard drive with a date stamp. I also scheduled the thing, so that way if I'm not at my computer a certain day, the program will automatically pull the info for me. Cool stuff.

I went ahead and used today's data and yesterday's data to make a prototype list: NG Quick Draw! It's at http://www.jfsoftware.com/ng/ngqd.html. I haven't added the cookies yet (I'm going to look for good cookie pics right now), but it's got the basic structure of the list.

You get a feeling of achievement from save points noir? That's interesting. I might feel achievement if I actually made the flash, but just sitting there clicking for a solitary point doesn't make me feel proud of anything.

I've seen it won 3 seconds into the day, so I figured 5 seconds would be an alright suggestion. You still have a chance after the first second, albeit a small one. Throw the guy a bone, eh?

1am is nothing. The thing so special about depositing on 12:00 is it makes you THE FIRST DEPOSITER OF THE DAY! w00t!

Of course. I wouldn't have watched the whole series if I hadn't. I also saved all 9 episodes to my newly-created folder for NG Flash and showed them to my brother, who also enjoyed them. So far the folder has Beebo, two Brackenwood Flash's and Decline 2.

That was a mistake joobie made while reviewing. #;-}>

Yeah, but j00bie's an idiot.

Glad you enjoyed it, albeit in a different way than you expected. I can't really relate to that, as I first watched BEEBO 6 when.

Uh... is that sentence finished? I don't understand it.

poxpower and Dobio talking (half-jokingly, but only half) about how much they want this topic shut down in the mod lounge.

Ban them gfox. I don't care how you do it, just ban them.

Soooo, with that combined with his lack of posts around here, I'd say something IRL is keeping him plenty busy.

You always know what to say gfox. >:D

Hey now, gfox does not equal no one. I complain all the time about how much posting takes place in here. ;_;

Yeah, but you do it so often it's normal. No-one pays attention anymore, haha.

You're all just doing it now because it's fashionable. Pfft.

CONFORMIST BASTARDS.

Your mega posts make my eyes hurt. I nearly didn't even read all of them this time. : (

It's not like they make a habit out of it. Apart from ramagi, I've only seen it done once or twice to excessive/abusive blammers. If the thought of admins having complete control over an account at their site is new to you then... uh... roffles.

Doesn't sound too bad SK. Now that my computer clock is correctly synched (THANKS GFOX) I might have an alright chance at top 25. Pity dial-up takes a few seconds to load up the 'Thanks for voting!' screen, hence restricting my access to medals. :( As for the points, the classic 3-2-1 scheme always works for me. If you make the points awarded too high, totals could get outrageously high in no time.

Come on. Top 10. It sounds so much cooler and gives a few more people a chance.
