Hey, I know what you mean. I got used to it after a while. Most of the local posters don't bother to check the gender thing, and assume we are all geeky boys between the ages of 13 and 24, still living in our mother's house. Respect, however, should span all ages and genders, and as long as I'm treated with the same respect I give, the gender pronoun thing isn't that critical.

As for sarcasm and humor - I'm all for it. Can't really ever take yourself too seriously, you know. You need a good sense of humor to get through this life. You can either laugh it all off, and people think you're a little crazy - or you can cry a lot, and then they put you on meds and talk about you at all the family gatherings. I go for the laugh track - but, then again, that's just me...

Wait what? 24? There are only boys from 9 to 12 years old. So you're kinda breaking 2 rules here, you're a girl, and you're, as far as I know, older than 30.

Yeah it's better to just laugh off, like Jade, who keeps mentioning her dick and stuff, I always laugh at those posts.

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1044 777/1 Just read this cant work if it a joke but sure sounds bad no more BBS. I'm not good a telling if they are joking. I don't remember the joke last year but I know it may be a joke but alas its so sudden only last week its just awful I feel sick at the thought of it. Many threads being made what was the April fool's day joke last year? But imagine The Lit Portal NG Chat its so odd and weird. Many mods posting.

I still think it's a joke... And if it's not... O well, we'll have to move on... Some mod or admin said that not all the BBS would be deleted, places like the Flash forum will stay since they help people out.

And last year there wasn't any big joke, I think. Wasn't it "Poo grounds - Everyone does it"? Or was that the year before? I'm lost :/

Did everyone forget what tomorrow (today, in some places) is?

lol, don't worry about it.

Incidentally, the comment about the bandwidth use of the BBS should give it away. The BBS is largely text and barely makes a dent in the bandwidth of the site compared to the Portal (with multi-meg uploads ALL THE TIME) and the front page (which receives the most viewers). I remember liljim or Wade mentioning that the BBS gets less than one percent of the total traffic to Newgrounds.

I'm sure it's just a crule joke that is being played on us. It's hard to undersand why you think they may not be joking, did you forget what tomorrow is? April 1st better know as april fools day. This is just a build up for some joke where you click the BBS link and you see 0 posts in each forum and you click it and everything is as usual. I think i may like the lit portal, i can submit all my poetry that i enjoy to write :::yes you heard me:::

I don't think i would visit the site very much if this forum did not exist, the Wi/Ht is where i live on this site and i refuse to loose it. That and maby 1 or 2 others will be saved, the rest can rest in peace.

And last year there wasn't any big joke, I think. Wasn't it "Poo grounds - Everyone does it"? Or was that the year before? I'm lost :/

Ya, they just changed the banner to poogrounds with ebaumsworld and the rick rolled thing. Not much of a joke if you ask me, but somewhat funny. Oh yes this was last year.

Oh, so just because I don't have a penis means I can't keep up with you guys? And despite the fact that it's impolite to broadcast a woman's age, yeah, I'm over 30 - and I'm running circles around you right now - at least until I get back to work.

Rules? Hah! I scoff at those rules! *SCOFF* *SCOFF*

Didn't realize I was intruding on the "He-Man-Woman-Hater's-Club" (and for all you kiddies under 20, go ahead and google that under "Little Rascals TV Episodes")
</mock anger>

Yeah it's better to just laugh off, like Jade, who keeps mentioning her dick and stuff, I always laugh at those posts.

Jade is definitely unique - and not afraid to speak her mind. You go, girl!

As for sarcasm and humor - you do realize I'm laughing as I write this, and do not, for one moment, expect you to take me seriously!!!!

It's all good...

right now, every site has a forum... so i don't think Ng will take it away
XD

in other topic... i have been checking the last post on the NGPD... the battle of power still, well kind of
you should read how is it doing

Tom won't close anything, whether for reals or for funnzies. Closing General would divert many NG users away from the site, since they can't post.

I'm thinking that Tom will make a post saying that his kid died. I'm sure that if April found out, Tom will never have sex again and never be able to live that down, but it could be a good joke if well done. The problem is that it needs to be well done.

I doubt if Tom would do such a "joke" as mess around and say something bad happened to the kid. That's bad Kharma. I can, however, see him temporarily reset all of our stats and counts to zero, and make us all noobs for the day - only to return us to our rightful status on 4/2

Image the look on the stat-whore's faces (including mine) if they lost ALL of their stats and thought they had to start from scratch. Woo Hoo!

also making them all lvl 1.. (and maybe gold aura) would be great

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1044 921

Would that now be the main thread on this?
and lol @ NG log. Go try it now, you'll die a little inside.

Disregard last post. That thread is now locked and everything seems to be in order.
Sorry for the double, as well.

Now that everything is more or less back to normal, there are quite a few flash lurking off page 1 of the portal that are under judgement. The filters are being removed, so you don't get the ministry of Chinese Misinformation telling you you can't watch this any more. Look at them all in turn, because there are some funny ones labelled in amongst the crap that we couldn't get to yesterday.

Still, a rare 70 B/P day and I even got to go and see Watchmen in the middle of that, yesterday. Not bad at all!

Well what did everyone think of the joke? I thought it was very clever and funny. But not being able to post a pain but it was funny the messages and censorship. I could not watch any M rated content. But its cool better then last year although the fate of the BBS is still uncertain users saying its still going. Forums up and working. Loads of under judgment stuff. Funny because the spammers who were trying to submit adult stuff could not so it was kinda odd that. I think emicions are cool and the mod aura is wicked and the picture like a admin is odd want the old look back though.

  Under Judgment

  (Everyone)

It's Stolen(Check out the author e-mail address), furthermore it's too hardcore porn

Hey guys, I hope everything is doing well here. I'm posting now to tell you that my current inactivity is due to an exchange with a Swedish highschool so I don't have too much time to get near the computer. I'll be back on Monday.

Have a nice day.

Way better than last year. Tom definately put a lot of effort into that, and it turned out really well.
Check out my userpage to see a list of all of the changes in the posts yesterday. some of them are pretty funny. Tell me if you saw more.

But not being able to post a pain but it was funny the messages and censorship.

It really kept me off the site yesterday. I only went on to create the list from above.

:I think emicions are cool and the mod aura is wicked and the picture like a admin is odd want the old look back though.

I did like how the emiocons were all Chinese smiley faces, and that we all had a picture of the Chinese dictator. I thought that was pretty funny. Same with our profiles; they gave us a picture of the diety whistle, and a Chinese version of Supreme Commander.

It sure was hilarious and all, but I never got to prank Newgrounds cause I couldn't post... :-/ I was gonna make a big elaborate post on how I thought the "Barracks was going downhill" and "I didn't like how it was being run" and how Wade would lock the thread at midnight...

Oh well. At least I got off a few good pranks at work. God bless the SysInternals Bluescreensaver...

So how's the Barracks?

118 isn't bad though.

Ha Ha hello Sir long time no see. Well its been great in the barracks SlashFirestorm is posting like everyday and lots of new members polls and stuff been more active. I saw BigBanRon new blog quite a shock to me. The joke was funny.

BIZARRO EAGLEROCK HAS COME TO KILL US ALL

So how's the Barracks?

It's going good. The new Code of Conduct thingy we're now requiring potential recruits to agree to before discussing/voting on them seems to be weeding out those who aren't Barracks material, which was exactly what it was meant to do. I'll be doing an officer re-structuring soon, to get rid of any unneeded positions, add any positions which need to exist, and shuffling around people who need to be shuffled.

The April Fools thingy was funny, a lot of stuff changed and I got screenshots of everything. It would have been cooler if the flash gang had changed too...

But anyway, on to our business (maybe I would've done something crazy with this yesterday, as a prank or something):

Barracks Roster 1st April 2009
This roster is based on the stats from 1st April 2009, that means I made it yesterday, but I'm posting it today because yesterday I couldn't do it due to the April's fools joke.
As you should know by now, the EGB went through some restructuring, and the members list was updated and is now more accurate, since it shows the active people. 13 members were removed from the roster, either because they can't be active or they are AWOL. You can check more info at this thread in our forums (you need to be logged in to read it).

Thanks for the update, Ismael. Great stuff.

I'm slowly clawing my way back towards Phantom, which for me is great news. The very fact that he's just over 18,000 Points away will give me heart when I can change that to just under 18k ahead.

Sentio is still keeping me honest and I'm aiming to get 55,555 over the next few weeks.

Only 4 of us getting the 1,000+ mark this time? Well, I'd better keep on pushing. I want 50/day again, it's frustrating not being able to reach that potential.

I love the fact that they kept the voting icons.
It's a nice change.
