They definitely are moving! XD Thanks. Was just about to move onto 24K before so once I cross that I'll be happy...

Wayne does make many reviews very quickly. Not sure how he does it.

CyberDevil, is the other user that cranks out reviews constantly.

It would be challenging for any of user to try and compete with them.

Not to forget Ericho. ;) On a steady grind for five years and going; closing in slowly. We did get a bit of a head start...

I never considered that he was very fast at typing. That could explain some of his abilities to be so fast at reviews.

That is a good point. Ericho is another heavy hitter when it comes to reviews.

I'm assuming this is the secret to a lot of people's fiercer activities. :) Either pace or perseverance... but it's so much easier with pace. When you're on a roll you imagine what it'd be like to be like that the entire time. So easy.

Keeping a steady pace will definitely help. Everybody has things they excel, and some that they are lacking at. You just have to keep trying to get better at the things you lack at.

I have read many of his reviews. They have a vibe on their own.

Indeed. Better and faster. That seems be to be the way to greatness in pretty much every area! Speaking of Excel, if I wasn't working so much with that lately I might actually have the time to get that first spot. :)

Agree, spontaneous in a pretty refreshing way sometimes.

When I am not good at something, I try to do very often. Hopefully, I get better as I go. What have you been doing in Excel?

For sure, that's the best way! I'd say likewise, but usually I probably: stop doing that particular thing. XD There are exceptions though... as for Excel that's pretty much my day job these days. Working with import files and such. Does get a bit monotone some times...

Good Old ~X~ Still there at the top, I see, I hardly come by these days, literally once a year and I smile when I see, amongst all the changes, that some things do NOT change and I laugh when I see that I am still on any lists. As an author, I know how much reviews used to mean to me, especially constructive ones, so you will always have my respect :)

Sounds like something interesting though I don't have a an office job but do have an office at work but spend most of my time at work making sure everything is working just write and people are happy.

I have a couple of day jobs, plus work for a charity, which has taken up most of my time. I lost Flash and realised that I was never going to get round to doing any more Flash, so that was that. I stayed on here while I was working on Wikigrounds until I got bored and just about left altogether.

However, I am a writer in my spare time and I occasionally get little things published. I am an amateur metal-worker occasionally- casting bronze now and again- see the deviantArt link on my Profile. So I am still being creative :)
I still give blood and recently reached 25 donations.

I gather Kwas disappeared. Basic reviews are mildly better than nothing, but something more detailed is better!

Wow congrats on the writing and charity cant go wrong with that, speaking of blood, I have recently recevied my 2nd blood transfusion in the past 12 years or so, but nice to see you are doing well and even doing some positive things cant complain about that.

Yeah guess he got tired, I have been active reviewing again only the past year and half now, seems notbad and I enjoy writing and enjoy giving constructive reviews so im happy with it, Im always looking for ways of improving my reviews to better benifit the artist its not always the case because these artists are pretty talented and dont need much advice.

- Well if you have had donated blood then you should take a look at my blood donation quiz, if you haven't already- its for people like you that I give blood four times a year!

Your comments inspire me. I might drop by and do a few reviews. As you might know I score quite high on Reviews with Replies, which is not only because I try to have something meaningful to say, but also because most of what I watch on NG is under Judgement, so my reviews are among the first they see. Since I will often review a movie which I blam, if I think it might be useful to do so, I lose a fair percentage of my reviews.

What is this people are talking about lost reviews recently?

I have always been a little on the stubborn side. When I fail at something I keep trying. When something is stolen from me, I will always do my best to get those things back.

For a long time now, reviews on content that had been deleted (by other means than the judgment process) still showed up on people's review pages. Unfortunately it wasn't meant to be this way, admins found out about it, and all of those reviews: gone. Everyone in this list lost a fair share there, from hundreds to thousands. Still waiting on the next update to show how much was really lost...

Been interesting to read your posts above btw. So many different things you dabble in, and WIkigrounds! Were you any of the main contributors there? Never been involved but it's been a pretty useful resource to link to and look at from time to time.

That could be true. He might be thinking about letting somebody else taken over full time, or at least assist him. Wouldn't that be a big surprise?

Oh, this thread explains why some of you very nice fellows have left some decent reviews on a couple of my old sketch collages hehe. I like doing reviews as well, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to do 6 reviews a day for half a year to get to 100th place :3

Could be interesting though, I need more excuses to sift through all the nice stuff on here! I only got to watch some works recently 'cause it asked me to help pick the top 10 of November. I'm certain I'm missing out on a bunch.

--- That seems fair enough- why maintain reviews for removed submissions? In my early days I wrote reviews for every submission I judged and all my judgement was for submissions in judgement- I still usually review submissions in judgement and have lost hundreds of reviews that way. If the submission shows some kind of effort, then they are the people that most need reviews.

There are many great reasons to check out all the great submissions here on NewGrounds.

How about double that each day for spot #11? ;) It's actually pretty crazy how fast it's possible to rise on this list with a little commitment, considering some of us have been going at this at a steady pace for a decade or more at this point. Bit of a gap when you reach the top spots, though. ;)

For prosperity? Well, apparently there may be certain legal issues with keeping reviews up in regard to certain deletions, so it is how it is. Never fun losing content so of course it would be great if there was a way to have user's contributions not be tied to the submissions so much. Still keep them in the archives. Unlink title, or switch out both title and thumb with a <deleted> if such info shouldn't remain either, but let users keep that which they've written. Same with forum posts in regard to deleted threads.

With UJ submissions your review's eternalized on the obituary page, at least. ;) I still have a hard time writing something for something I know won't count with amounts, but those really are the submissions that need them the most. Props on doing what pretty much nobody else does (at least not by intention) there.

-No wife, no kids ! On Wikigrounds I am the MAIN contributor- the number one, easily, despite semi-retiring years ago. I am in fact the only functioning admin- about once in 18 months!

No regrets...? Oh that's quite a responsibility! Still assume a lot of people visit the site, new updates or no. Do you happen to have any stats on page hits these days, having that role?

The reviews should of been kept they way they were. Deleting all of them just messed everything up.

Yes, the reviews should of been kept. They were part of NewGrounds shared history. They have kept old forum posts before.

That is a great way to handle things. Reviews should always be saved forever. If somebody takes the time to create, than it should not be destroyed.

That is cool that you are the main man on Wikigrounds.

You should never have regrets with anything that you do. You should do your best and let the results speak for them self.
