I'm still a new mod so I just wanted to extend my hand and say hello, and that if you see any shenanigans going down in the Art Portal feel free to contact me, or any of the other art portal mods, through PM or on AIM.

Yeah I just saw that thread, but thanks for the heads up anyway :)
We do somewhat similar things here, like voting fairly and reporting rule breaking submissions, so we can help each other. I love the art portal and I enjoy going there looking for good stuff, but I think that I'm not that active to join there. So right now I think I won't join, I may change my mind in the future but I'll keep an eye on that thread anyway.

I thought it was going to happen. I mean, the General forum itself is a big lounge to discuss about almost everything you want, so such a thing was not needed. Especially because there are a lot of people who visit the General forum regularly, so it would be pretty difficult to keep it organized.

Your thoughts on this? Recent account, not-so-savory image on the userpage, and the link in the flash has been removed so it cannot be clicked to spawn a link.

Well, I checked his other submissions, he seems to be legit. So I see no point in whistling it at all. That's my opinion at least.

But remember, we've had users with other stolen submissions that got taken down later.
Remember that user submitting 2 episodes of a series every night, last month? No one realized it was all stolen until their account was deleted.

Well I guess I do remember something like that going on last month, but from what I could, the author of the flash seems to be legit. I always look at the sign up date and the scores they've gotten on their flashes and how many they've submitted.

Whenever I see someone who just signed up like a day or two ago and have an excellent submission in the portal, I almost always look for the original because that tells me it is most assuredly stolen.

How about this one guys: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/50 4076

Found it here and also on the gr8games website.

He says it's a game based on something else, but doesn't really link to anything.

Going a bit off topic :::or all the way::: I'm not going to be on at all from tommarow until thursday, i will be on latter friday if i'm not to tired form vacation. I'm going to New York City! This has to be one of my favorite places to go, so i'm going to stay at a hotel in times square. Wish me a good trip and what not, i'll be back before you know it.

And once again I predicted a comeback.

I was thinking of those L* movies a lot these last few days, between the KK return collab getting mass-flagged and some recent discussions in different places that brought December 07/January 08 to mind. Tonight I come in and go to the Portal, lo and behold a blast from the past sits before me!

That's awesome. I love going into New York, but I usually never get the chance to. But I can take a train into Penn Station for free since my dad works for Amtrak. I just got to spend $1.25 or so and take a light rail to the station.

But I hope you enjoy your trip. New York is awesome.

Well, I don't know much about art - but I do know about ice cream (ask Krev) - and it seems like Ben and Jerry's is now sponsoring you! (This is NOT a photoshop gag - I saw this today in a Stop and Shop by me, snapped a pic with my cell phone, cropped it, and here we go!)

Sorry about that - clicked "Post It" instead of "browse" - and we can't edit once we post....

Wow, this is fucking great!! But something about all this just doesn't really set well. I mean, how would they know to sponsor certain people? That is the part that seems really fishy to me.

Heh, it's happened to me a few times too. Including, if you'll believe it, twice in the same thread. I guess we're just so used to not posting pictures on NG than when it comes time to post pics, we forget to do it.

I'm not quite at liberty to discuss the actual process, but according to some top-secret documents that I obtained in 2002, in the end it goes to whoever both needs and deserves it in the eyes of a secret panel. Fro's work ethic in putting a stop to rule-breaking spammers is above and beyond necessity, even if it sometimes runs up against errors, misconceptions, and voice actors with limited comprehension ability. Furthermore, according to his nomination letter, he represents "dedication without fanaticism" and he himself is "a man risen above the rest, but still close and accessible to any of them at need". Of course, it was written by a close friend of mine from another dimension... No, actually, written at her command by her servant while she slept.

Some free advice:
Check the score at death before accusing things of being blammed already (needs to be less than 1.60 to safely assume it was blammed). Deleted things also appear in the obituaries, and to me that looks like it was deleted by the author to be resubmitted (probably with a few fixes and the like).

I know you've no real reason to listen to me if you don't want to, but remember: an incorrectly flagged flash will likely put a HUGE dent in the whistle level of everyone who flagged it.

How does this happen?!

Not enough votes. It doesn't matter who many people watch it, I remember where Charlie the unicorn had over 2,000 views and was still under judgment.

I was going to ask you guys about this

Glad I'm not the only one.

I think Bob came to save the day! I'm not sure about you, but now the voting panel is working fine for me.

I just used the VOTE button on the NG toolbar and it worked fine for me.

Yeah, it was fixed fairly quickly, which was good.

DD put about 6 flashes through in that time, and right after they passed judgment, were deleted.
I'm just waiting for the medals to come back for Rumble.

It's good to know NG is on high alert now, keeping the DD shit out. I haven't heard from them recently and I heard they were hacking Bob's account today. Guess they didn't have the account and backed off.

Same here, though I must admit, everytime I watched a flash i expected the vote bar to be up, always questioned why it wasn't up, then felt stupid afterwards then used my toolbar.

I'm glad they mixed the problem it is working fine for me now. I have had that trouble though lots of time with the voting bar not loading despite the movie having loaded it can be very off putting. Well my fucking charger on the side of my mac is not working, the stupid thing is being held together by thick duck tape. Now it looks like it duff only got it about 7 months ago. Anyway not happy about that but I noticed some DD blammed submissions in the obituaries.

I did not notice that I passed over 4000 saves! well 4005 but still amazing, and I wish my blam ones was higher. I read the story and sadly Dry-Ice still has not got his account unlocked yet. The rotten DD still have access but Evark back sadly not as a mod feel very sorry for him I really hope he gets made a mod again. http://evark.newgrounds.com/ BigBadRon was active posting last month odd seeing him on BBS.

Yeah, Dry-Ice is still down and out, but not for long, hopefully; he's a good guy. As for Evark, I'm glad he's back with us and not under the DD fags' loose control. I never knew that BigBadRon was still active. Well, I'm glad that he's making appearances. Haha, if I caught myself saying that a year ago I would have to bitchslap myself to get sense into me; that moderator had to go-Half my bans were served because of him.

Man, the portal is slow as hell today. And for those wondering, I'm getting close to finishing chapter 8. I've also put chapters 1-7 up on AFF. So overall, it's been a slow ass day if you ask me.
