Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!...
empty portal... i hate when that happens

anyway, if you were around today and yesterday night, you will probably notice this a few submissions by this author... unknownpersn

just added 2 flashes yesterday night, and 2 today in the morning

I think he is going to get 4 medals, today (maybe 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th place)
(not sure if that's even possible)
the first 2 flashes were still under judgment yesterday at midnight, so do they count as if they were from today, right?

anyway, you should check them... because they are like absolutely awesome

---

in other news... i have been noticing that now '08 user are getting to the Top list... sounds like '07 are not 'newbies' anymore X3

I long for the day when I'm not looked down upon for the digits in my sign-up date or the style of my level icon.

Others may judge you as such - and they are wrong. Just because a user has been on Newgrounds for 6 years and is level 40 doesn't guarantee that they won't be an asshole. In fact, sometimes the long-term users occasionally get so full of themselves that their own self-importance and ego get in the way of dealing with other users.

Know that here, in the EGB, you are not judged at all by your level or sign-up date. You have been a terrific contributor, been very helpful, and seem to know your way around better than most. So what if you've only been on for a short time - it's what you do with that time that counts.

I signed up in '06. My first year or so was slow and pokey and I really didn't do much. Then I started to get more involved, and do more, and then things picked up - and now I'm in full swing. So, actually, I really didn't start until '07.

Ignore those who judge a book by the cover - they have no right to judge in the first place. IMHO, you're a great person who really is an asset to the EGB - and fun to have around.

Thanks for being part of our lives!

but.... who the heck said i looked down upon someone?
i mean... like 2 or 3 pages ago i said that Krev was doing a great job and that i liked her... the words i use was 'admirable'

definitely, you have been doing a great job, you have contribute to the barracks more than I

what i mean is that you just need to be here some time, to get know by other users... but been here few or long time doesn't make you a better or worse user

and nice speech ByteSlinger, =D, some mature user should be more like you, and less like... how did you said... oh yes, assholes

I think she needs more than that. She's amazing. (God I sound like such a stalker/suck-up)
But I am being honest here, you deserve a medal. You too Krev, your amazing too!

Thank you for your kind words. I'm just here to help. Don't need any medals or special recognition - I'm just a firm believer in what goes around, comes around - and if you do good things, eventually good things come back to you. Wasn't looking for a fan club - just a few friends.

However, I am quite the chocoholic, so those are definitely appreciated. As for wine (when I do drink it) I believe a nice red will go well with the chocolates.

And it's only stalking if I don't know about it... ;P

Well done to you byteslinger on your award love the medal that aldlv has done for byteslinger was spot on
KrevZabijak. She is a great member of EGB she always reports stolen flashes so fast. I do try of course one of the flashes got blammed I will Pm Tom Fulp about the other two ones left. Sign up date does not matter its about how the user is that is important.

Look! It's so shiny and it's made of awesome!!

And I'm pretty sure the medal itself is gold-foil-covered Ghirardelli chocolate.

Oh hell yes, you'll love that thing.

I am humbled and honored to receive such a wonderful award. Thank you for the recognition, aldlv. As for Lizzardis and Krev, I appreciate your support and I am proud not only to call you both comrades in the EGB, but also my friends. And that, in itself, is a reward much greater than any medal.

I have been the very same, after all the blams I have picked up in the last month or two, which lowered my ratio to 2.46 at it's lowest, are running dry, meaning I've picked up far, far more saves which has brought me up to about 2.48, so it's definitely not just you,

It's very annoying when you retain your standards of voting and can be rewarded sometimes and have it thrown back at you at other times, but c'est la vie I suppose.

Ah, that's not so bad then - the days when I had a streak of 10+ Blams per day for almost a month seem long gone :'(

From what I have seen and heard about you, Coop, you are far from "asshole". You are one of the few that have really grown with Newgrounds, been more than helpful, and contributed in many ways. I can tell you that my generic comment certainly does not apply to you. :)

My blam pace tanked as well. I keep voting down crud, but they keep passing. But, as an upside, I have seen a higher than usual amount of decent flash activity through the portal - Seems like the overall quality (of the non-spam) is improving. So maybe it's a mixed blessing...

I hope he does, even then, what can he possibly do? We are rewarding a user for helping other users OUTSIDE of the EGB thread. She took it upon HERSELF to help users like me and Krev.

Well it's not exactly for helping outside...
I chose that medals because is for a non-war time
on the EGB, war time, is related to the portal, in my opinion

so everything else is non-portal... the EGB thread is non-portal (except when we discuss portal activities, flashes, spammer, etc.), but in general, it's just were spend time... free time

anyway, if Slash likes the idea... i will post about this on our forum...

Well, i'm not very good at talking, so let's make it short
Nice medal! That looks pretty awesome I have to say! Maybe this could become a regular thing?? Awarding medals for exceptional things done OUTSIDE of the EGB? Well I dunno.

Well, while your other attributes are fine, that whistle is a problem, and we don't bend the rules for anyone. You're free to post here while you work on repairing it, but we can't make you an official member until it's Bronze or higher. It shouldn't take that long to repair if you focus on flagging only the reviews you're 100% sure are abusive---remember that incorrect flagging costs you a lot more points than correctly flagging, so you need to be cautious.

I had started a database of quotes a few years ago, and every once in a while, I do a web search and cut / paste some new ones into my database. Yes, there may be a few grammar glitches and typos, but they're still funny. Right now, I'm up to about 400.

If you have any more you'd like to see, leave me a post in the NG Logs-Ideas thread - I check that frequently now.
