Ismael92 that is fine thanks for the roster seem like ages since the last one.

Been playing on some games today saw some gems UJ which are cool one by TheWeebl, and ZekeySpaceyLizard with this one

That's approximately 3+ years of B/Ping you're looking at right there, not to mention that was at the prime of Newgrounds and at the prime of my spare time. But rest assure I won't be stopping until the whole B/P system is removed and we no longer get a chance to whore out.

I don't see anyone moving much in the top 4 for a while (Barring anyone joining the club that is). While we all chase Phantom (and can probably keep chasing and never actually catch him...), there isn't much between the rest of us. A couple of weeks I outpaced Coop, but I've got another couple of weeks away coming up, so it is all for nothing again. Pwroftheseagoat is similarly sporadic, and I can only hope that he is away more than I am in the coming months if I am going to hold him off.

All strong paces at the top end though, and we'll carry on making it hard to break into the top 4 in the club!

Help I think this may be stolen it looks like a Japanese anime by the looks of it. The trouble is I don't know where from any ideas?

Well I got a Pm from Tom Fulp about that user it said this Thanks for the heads up, he just got a one way ticket to BLAM LAND! lol. That made me laugh the user I'm talking about was the one who was stealing three games mwmilk, first linked him on NGDD and I thought maybe I had got it wrong. But got this Pm here is the link http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/48 4420. Anyway good job on the roster I would like to get higher up.

Now it is a blank screen. Weird.

Does anyone know if submitting a blank screen is against the rules (out of curiosity)

How is everybody? Well i see the new update is already up and congrats to all those that got promotions and while myself and the current pace would take forever to rank up, im just going at a pace suitable for my lifestyle right now. Hopefully that will change up alittle bit here so i can pick up the pace just alittle bit.

Doing just fine. I am doing a combo of chilling and getting my ass in gear both in terms of NG and school/life. I wanna advance to the next level so I am blamming/saving the shit out of the portal, doing my best to keep sub par flash at bay.

Yeah work life is so much damn harder then school it's unreal. But at least i get four days off and work only four days so it all works out. But since im going to try and bring my pace up to where it used to be and be as active around here as i used to be

Originally it was a Japanese music video thing, undoubtedly stolen. While submitting a blank screen isn't technically against the rule (though I've seen Wade delete them before), fileswapping to do something like this is. I've already PM'ed Wade about it, though, so no one else needs to. It'll be taken care of soon enough.

I've had a relatively average month. I'm pleased with my advancement in blams and my rank-up to Sergeant, now I'm really looking forward to that Staff Sergeant Badge.

I believe the Review crew pick may have been stolen as there were suspicious reviews all have similiar comments, most of those reviews are deleted however.

I have a question, I'm still very unexperienced.

The audio is from Family Guy, and the author did not credit it as such.

It also seems that he attempted to alter the pitch/tempo of the audio so it would seem as if it was his.

Thoughts on whistling or not? Where does one draw the line?

Just using the audio isn't whistle-worthy, though not mentioning it is a dick move. Now, uploading a clip from a television show or movie IS whistle-worthy, as it's stolen; as for dub-overs, it's more ambiguous, and one would need to ask Wade about it.

In any case, this flash has been blammed. Good, too, as it sucked.

Thanks muchly. :)

Yes I noticed that the file had been swapped crafty but a poor thing do to. That has happened a few times it a real dirty trick. One of the worst was a flash saying suitable for all but it had a sick NSFW thing on it. Well I don't know if the latest TOTW is legit but it looks okay but then again who knows its by the well know spammer OrangeBeef, so its hard to guess. As for Underdog hard to say hopefully they are not. I have missed seeing legit TOTW for the last two weeks they were stolen entries, so it remains to be seen. Maybe worth reviewing. I noticed that DD got his account deleted yet again.

Remember, everyone...if you see a spam flash that you suspect is gunning for a weekly award through unrighteous means, link to it in the Barracks so we can review it and counteract the ten reviews of alts and other spammers.

Here are a few things to keep in mind regarding this method of abuse-fighting.

1. No matter how shitty or disgusting the flash may be, and regardless of who made it, all Barracks members are expected to review fairly, civilly, and offer constructive criticism. We're here to set an example for other Newgrounders, after all. Abusive reviews by Barracks members will not be tolerated, and will only inspire other Newgrounders to continue to post shit reviews, which will be rightfully deleted and leave the flash with a bunch of undeserved tens.

2. Don't forget about your handy bookmark ability. If you see a flash that has a provocative title (such as HARDCORE SONIC ANAL or NEWGROUNDS ARE FAGGOTS, it might be wise to bookmark it so you can keep an eye on it. Remember that you don't HAVE to vote on a flash; even if it deserves a zero, actually doing so may only help it get TOTW and further exposure. I won't recommend purposefully voting five to counteract the people who don't know better, though I do that myself on occasion until the week's awards have been decided.

3. Remember that a flash needs thirty reviews or more to be eligible for Review Crew Pick and Underdog. If a spam flash has a perfect review score of ten, but only has three or four reviews, it's not much of an award-stealing threat (though you may wish to keep it bookmarked, as mentioned above).

4. If you suspect that a flash is being reviewed by alts (as happened this week), report it to a review mod for them to check out. Once the week's awards have been decided, there's nothing anyone can do to reverse it, so don't forget this! Full list of review mods can be found in the FAQ or my "why the spam is your fault" news post.

As spam evolves, so does our mission. Fairly reviewing spam flash may be difficult, annoying, and patience-trying, but hey, it can make a difference.

Well I have not seen any of that sort I think this far so far but I did review a flash by ScaryMovieGuy. I have linked to him before I don't think this will get an award, but its hateful he is quitting but calls us users name. I wont say what but its begins with F I left a review for it. It had a score 1.79. Only 3 days till i get the stunning level 29 icon Wow Silver Gauntlet its so beautiful almost level 30 now. SlashFirestorm I will keep your words in find anyway here is the flash.

I didn't actually link it to the NGPD it was already gone shortly after my post. Nice work!

I'm almost sure you're wrong; the author's e-mail uses the same domain (Rainbow Studios) as the flash's website.

So......... how is everyone?

I've just worked back my PS3. Got in a little trouble, and my mom overreacted. So I had to scrub all the grout in the tiles on the first floor. In total, it took about 4-5 hours of hard labor. And technically, I'm still not done, since the cleaner I used left a white film over the floor, which I need to mop off.
