Still there.

As you can tell in the link, it's in the Toons section, and not the Collections.

Congrats to -Mazza- on his first General star, and everyone else for their rank-ups/level-ups/achievements.

Nothing to report on my part

Well paint me black and call me a negro. I don't know why that never occured to me. Thanks guys. I'm glad I didn't make a new thread for that post after all.

WOW A BRAND NEW BOXING GLOVE!! w00t!

Yeah, I noticed, but it's the only accomplishment I've had in a LONG time. I guess everybody has those periods though....

So, scripts are against the rules now? I had no idea that they could do so much harm for this site. I wonder why Wade never mentioned this before, because they've been running for longer than this. But, if they really cause that much trouble, maybe it's for the best to shut them down. I really liked the Total Listing, though.

Sadly, yes. I think someone needs to inform Wade that these have been going on for quite some time now, so the recent errors probably weren't caused by them.

In other news, RANK UP! Finally got my first leaf badge! And a nice 9.00+ VP to go with it, too!

Congrats! A very sexy VP indeed!

Here is what Wade has to say about the stat scripts

I see, I never thought of it that way. I'm glad these lists has come to an end then, but I guess it's the worst new ever for you guys.

Anyway, I'd like to know a little bit more about these so called DOS attacks. Could anyone tell me about it?

Oh, by the way, I just noticed how agressive Wade is. If anyone but him would've posted the first thing he said on the other topic, I think he would get the mods' alarm on. Thanks for being such an agressive guy Wade, it's very nice >:(

God, I HATE people who start threads like this. They just haven't got a fucking clue what the fuck they are talking about.

I'm sorry, but I feel strongly about Scout-bashing. We are a very respectable group.

How embarassing! *shakes fist at HT* I'm fairly sure I have my hammer now.

Maybe it was pieoncar's script that was the last drop or something. But Wade also said that the scripts -MIGHT- be what's causing the errors, and he asked to shut them down to be sure.

Have a look at this report:
http://www.grc.com/dos/grcdos.htm
It's old (2001), but it's fascinating reading. Also, while you're there, grab some of the guy's PC tweaks, I generally run all of the free ones (ie, all except SpinRite) first thing when I reformat.

I personally don't think my NGTL was having any visible effects, but I could be (probably am) wrong. I think the recent bout of BBS errors was due to pieoncar's BBS spider, because it was pulling topic after topic.

Thanks guys.

@SK : then you should look at it with wade, 'cause it look weird to me too.

Not that it is a terribly big deal, but seeing as I don't blam or save a whole lot reaching my 2,000th blam is sort of a benchmark for me but it does bring me closer to my next badge :| anywhoo - commence the parade.

A pretty crappy day on my part, it's been really nasty outside. :/ But atleast I don't have to see the sun, I just don't want the rain, turns my yard into a bog. Anyways...

too bad I missed over a year of deposits.
Darn social life.

Congrats for reaching the 13th level, the baseball bat's a pretty cool weapon, but don't ever blame social life for ruining your newgrounds' life in front of me again, or you'll learn that a flail is way more painfull than a baseball bat ;)

I like newgrounds, but nothing beats life :P

Couldn't say. That's not something I'm familiar with but I have gotten a number of server errors today and that has me wondering. It's a bit disturbing to me that a number of you place so much emphasis on statistics. I've never advertised my stats since joining this site unlike most of you, and I never will. The reason is simple. It's already listed in my profile. If someone wants to take the time to look it's only a click away. Advertising your stats is just another "attention whore" technique. The thread where this discussion was started has turned into joke. Those last six posts by D0GMA may have taken 2 hours to type but it only took me two seconds to ignore them (well, I did read the last sentence in the last post). In any case this forum ran just fine before the first stat list was created and I'm sure it can run just as well without them. I'm not planning on leaving Newgrounds if the lists are removed, that would be stupid. Some of you really need to get a grip on your priorities in life. A computer screen is a dangerous place from which to view the world.

Oh no, I wouldn't dream of leaving this place over something like this. Sure, it's disillusioned me in regards to the management and has effectively squelched any motivation I had towards making useful NG-related things, but I'm not going to let it defeat me like that.

Hey, calm down. Advertising stats is as much "attention whore"-like than trying to get them. You don't think people might just want to share their joy of reaching a goal that make them proud, especially because it's sharing with "friends" (well, internet friends). What's so different between that behavior and your? Don't you try to improve your stats because it's an achievement you'll be proud of? Don't do shit talks for no reason, 'cause everyone could do it about everyone, you included.

I'm not planning on leaving Newgrounds if the lists are removed, that would be stupid.

Well, I haven't heard of anyone planning that, but it's quite possible. A lot of people are addicted to their stats here, but that exactly why they won't leave, may be they only talk to get more "attention"? ;)

Okay -Myst- **takes a deep breath ** I'm calm now.

Haha! Point taken. I'm still pissed at the comments D0GMA made but after talking with a couple of other Wi/Ht? members via e-mail I see I'm not the only one. I can understand why they wouldn't want to get involved in this crap. I find it amusing that the two biggest players in this disagreement don't have any submissions to their credit and this is a flash site.

Well, I haven't heard of anyone planning that, but it's quite possible.

If that were to happen -Myst- then they were never fans of the site to begin with. That's my take on the situation.
