"Today is a glorious day... for today i am a MAN." - Me!! :P
O.K, everyone... here it is. my first one-year period update for my time here at NG, and i have blessed the level up! Lounge with it.
This update will be divided into 2 posts, as on its own it is far too big to fit into one post. (stupid, maximum character count!!!)

Day: 365 - one year.
I came to Newgrounds just over a year ago, when i suddenly realised that it had some nice content i could use for entertainment.
i knew nothing about Newgrounds for a very long time, and, on the 11th of November, 2003, i felt like voting and reviewing on a submission. i realised that i needed an account to leave a review... so, not really knowing what i was doing, i signed up.
I - as a big fan of RPG games where you upgrade your 'stats' - became quite entangled with NG after that, and i quite liked jumping up through the levels.
I never knew about the BBS untill i was on level 9 or 10, and therefore i learnt pretty much everything i know about NG by my little old self. i learnt how to gather b/p points, how to gain exp, how to get reviews, etc, etc.
and now, it has been a year. so here are my statistics for the site.
---------------
Experience:
Experience: Ranked # 1,036 out of 607,236 users!
Exp. Points: 3,360 / 3,657
that makes 336 days out of 365. so 29 days i have missed out on depositing this year, and it is because of A: a trip to Queensland in January for 10 days, going camping - 5 days, and other assorted times.
total exp for the year = 92.054%
i'll be getting into the top 1,000 very soon indeed.

Reviews:
ahh, my one true passion for the site. without them, i would have not signed up to Newgrounds in the first place. i always loved it, even though i wasnt too good when i started out.
after getting a response in one of my very early reviews from XwaynecoltX, telling me to go to the 'Top Reviewers List' thread, i started to review more.
and now, i am the 7th reviewer on NG, since 1 hour ago. i have just taken over Hamy_Jamy, who is currently sitting at 2,567. i overtook him not an hour ago.
Reviews written by M-A-R-C-U-S:
2576 reviews available
days at NG - 365.
= an average of 7.057 reviews a day. i dont think that that is too bad, considering that at the end of July, it was 3 per day.
so yes, in one year, i have assumed the 7th position on the site in terms of reviews, thanks to much encouragment from XwaynecoltX... so thank you.

Response Rate:
This has been a major interest of mine, as there was a list for a very, very long time being updated regularly at the Top Reviewers List thread. it stated the member, the number of reviews and responses, and their response rate.
when i first was on the list, it was at something like 16%.
now, after taking a great interest in it, i took great pride in my reviews so that i would have a higher chance of getting a response.
at the moment, this is what i have.
View Your Reviews (2,576)
(With Responses Only (804))
this amounts to 31.211%.
And, apart from XwaynecoltX having over 1,000 responses, i believe that i have the highest amount of responses on NG. (2nd to X). if ANYONE has more, please come forward.

Blam/Protection points. (NOT saves, they are protections). (B/P)
I for one have never been able to gather a lot of B/P points, because of where i live. when i come home from school, it is around 2AM, NG time. when i head off to bed, it is something like 7-9AM, NG time. so, i think that most people are asleep in America. = bummer for me.
the most amount of B/P points i've ever collected in a day was 96, and that was some time late in September.
and ofcourse, the least amount of B/P points ive gotten in a day has been 0. haha.
BLAMS: Involved in the termination of 4,397 crappy entries.
SAVES: Assisted in the protection of 1,757 quality entries.
total amount of B/P points = 6154
Blam/Protect: Ranked # 191 out of 607,236 users!
not two hours ago i was ranked 190, but there seems to be close competition between a few other users and I, as i have not climbed many ranks at all in the past 200 or so B/P points.
days - 365.
average amount of blams per day = 12.046
average amount of protection points per day = 4.813
average amount of B/P points per day = 16.86
Ratio of blams/protection points = 2.502 (not bad, considering how much crap is in the portal).

There is the first half or so to my update. Read below for my other half. (no one better post inbetween my posts!!! haha)
more to come.....
