I reported this user yesterday he had gay porn on his user page, and repeated abusive reviews he claimed he was hacked. Well he has submitted this sick video I reported it warning NSFW

The user seems to have tons of alt here but the one I'm concerned about is this user

http://memea.newgrounds.com/

.

Thanks EagleRock for the suggestion.


Archer I'm a good shot!

Now that i hear about what this place was in the the past, i wish i could have been here to see it and to have been apart of it. We are pretty close today, just not all of the members are actvie all of the time. We do still have alot of people with high voting powers, but they are no longer active.


Plus, the conversations were HILARIOUS at times. I certainly plan on getting the thread back into that kick now that I'll be around for a while.

I hope you do bring this to the table now that you are back posting often now. I do miss Phantoms dry sence of humor where he would be a complete ass to everyone...that was just funny to me.

That account was yeeked by MherMeiser, or Genderless-Hooker if I'm right about the alt connection. So were chillbro and metaknightPWNS (chillbro got his account back though, while metaknightPWNS was deleted, and then remade by the spammer). Some others too, I think. Be on the lookout for stolen Flash and fileswaps, we all know his reputation.

Gah, it's getting hard to keep track of these guys anymore with everyone being deleted weekly.

Damn it, it makes things really hard to figure out when they keep hacking accounts and then i have to add more names to the equation. Now i don't know who the accounts where before they were hacked. Just normal users, or did they subit flash, or they post alot on the forums? We need to make some connections here, or if they are just going on getting any random accounts. G-H did not seem like such a big probelm, nothing more then garbage submissions.

Was the flash phantomlassuk reported a fileswap or what....theres no way we let that slide by...>.<

Well, I know metaknightPWNS had taken a strong stand against spam, and specifically against Hooker himself, as well as being the very kind of user that spammers dislike most: a video game fanboy combined with a "Newgrounds faggot", if I may use such a term. The rest, I have no idea. But if Hooker's like the spammers of 07/08, he'd take any account if he thought someone would be annoyed by its use.

It was a stolen submission earlier, I think, swapped to hardcore gay porn after passing, same old Hooker. But it's been deleted, Wade or someone must have got on and got rid of it.

Oldfag BBS wise. I was referring to this "death of newgrounds" theory. I'm STILL the newfag on the EGB forums. Newest member: michelinman. Someone needs to damn join. Haha.

Oh sure, you're a NG oldfag by all rights. I was just laughing at the 4chan terminology...lol

Plus, the conversations were HILARIOUS at times. I certainly plan on getting the thread back into that kick now that I'll be around for a while.
That would be pretty sweet, but it seems to be a trend happening these last few years. I used to laugh my ASS off on the BBS a few years back. Now i chuckle every now and again, but that's about it. A few years ago, the dickneck thread would've sank pretty quickly, because at the end of the day, it's just rippin on one of the hundreds of noobs that did something stupid, whereas nowadays, those type of threads are deleted on sight. There was just so much madness and hilarity in General back then. Now it's a lot like Liz said. People get banned and shit gets locked before anything ever gets really funny. I feel bad for him though because he never got to see the good ol' days.

Yeah, things are a big different around here, though it's not necessarily for the worse. I'll tell you, some of the crap back then was exactly that: crap.

I think that trend is kinda leaking over into the other forums as the standard is kind of being set higher and higher for something to be qualified as a good post. Sure good posts are more beneficial, but the funniest things that happen on this site will ALWAYS be from a large group of people laughing at one asshole. When I look back on my post history, there's so many RIDICULOUS threads that would be instantly deleted today, but they've got pages of posts and are still unlocked. Haha.

Yeah, I think we do need a bit of relaxation in certain threads (General) but keep the rest of the BBS more restricted (Wi/Ht, Politics, C&C) and more non-insane. It'll make for good overall enjoyment. Or at least create a new forum meant for complete hysteria with lax rules.

The man is obsessed with them. He used to be obsessed with knives, too, but he's kinda gone off on flashlights now. Since I'm an Eagle Scout, I knew a bunch of pocket knives...I'd say he and I chatted for 6 hours one time on knives, it was awesome.

But yeah, you need a flashlight? Ask him. He'll give you a dissertation on which one you need. :-P

And your point is? Also, I don't use Google for that at all. I did my senior english high school paper on military spending and "studied" the Nimitz carriers, Dragon Skin, F/A-22 RAPTOR, and the M1A1 Abrams. I also read a lot of Dragonlance books. That's from where my vast knowledge of Dragons came.

While I find your depth of knowledge on the military quite fascinating, you do realize that in this dimension, dragons are ficticious, and therefore, so is all information about them. Now, you can argue that some lizards (no, not Lizzardis ;) ) and some extinct dinosaurs looked like dragons, but they themselves weren't dragons in their own right. Anything you "know" about dragons is simply someone elses imagination - and that information will vary from author to author.

Out of curiousity, who do you use as your source on dragons besides "Dragonlance"? Oddly enough, the concept of dragons as monsters dates back to ancient Mesapotamian times - but the term "dragon" was loosely translated as any large creature the natives had no other name to give it. The ancient Greek, Romans and Chinese all have dragons in their mythos as well.

Oh, and I'll let this little nugget out of the time capsule of my mis-spent youth: In my early teens, I not only played D&D, I was also a DM. It was quite unusual for a "girl" to play back then, but I was a tomboy until high-school, and a geek to boot. Plus, that's where all the smart guys got together - and they were the only ones I really chose to hang out with on a regular basis. I do have many of the original D&D manuals; but I'm not sure who G. Gary Gygax used as a reference for his version of dragons back then. Can't ask him now - he's dead. Guess we'll never know.

Now, maybe in a parallel dimension, there might have been dragons after all....hmmmm...maybe in the sequel...yeah, I can see it now: "The Dragonriders of the EGB"...heheheheh....

Well, I knew that Dragons in this dimension are nothing more that pure myth and whatnot, but they're still badass. I also have a friend who plays D&D and he loaned me his Dragon manual a while. I never really did read it per se.

Also, "Dragonriders of the EGB" that sounds like something I could write if'n you wouldn't mind. 'Course, I'm still writing my own fanfic, but hey, why the hell not, right?

Awesome. I love girls that are willing to be comfortable with their geekiness. I still say I knew my wife was the one for me the day she wiped the floor with me playing Mario Kart 64... :-P

By the way, if you're looking for a good reference on dragons, here you go :-)

Indeed, it looks like whenever I go away for some hours, people start posting at a faster rate than usual.

In other use, I signed up for some kind of robotic sumo contest along with another three friends, it basically consists of programming a box so that it's able to throw another box off a circle. We have one week to do all that, and today we started working on it and it was pretty fun tweaking the code and watching the computer simulator. It's all programmed in JavaScript, and even if I don't know THAT much about Java when compared to our "main programmer", I felt quite useful when I discovered a big flaw in the code that everyone had overlooked.

So yeah, I'll be busy having lots of fun for the next week :D

The History Channel had a special on dragons a few years back, and one of its hypotheses was that dragons were a combination of some of the most common (and thus feared) predators of humanity's not-quite-human ancestors. Snakes, for example, and different birds of prey. Of course, that's just a guess from the TV.

Odd, I was just thinking of D&D myself today. Would someone remind me when the EGB became a nerd hivemind, talking D&D while I was at school reading about a fictional D&D game railroaded to follow the LotR plot and some list of hilarious things that shouldn't be done during a tabletop RPG?

It's pretty well-known (at least from any sources I read) that he adapted a lot of concepts from Tolkien, maybe that included his dragons. Not having played D&D, I really don't know. Though the thought came to me just hours ago that I should try D&D.

I'm something of a Tolkien fan, to the point of having an unused Quenya (one of the languages of the Elves) course on my computer. I was going to learn the language eventually, but "eventually" came and went. Interestingly enough, according to my local paper today is the 72nd anniversary of the first publishing of The Hobbit. Quite a coincidence that the EGB mentions Tolkien and other facets of geekdom today.

Yeesh...72 years old?? It's amazing how long ago Tolkien actually wrote this stuff. It's still amazing that his son is still putting out some of his unfinished works.

It's gonna be crazy, I'll bet. I can't wait to see what happens at 12:01.

I'm kind of upset that I won't be able to be on very much tomorrow as it is Madness Day, but my computer charger broke and the battery is dead so the only time I can get on tomorrow is while I'm at work and on the computer there. Thing is I can't really watch many movies because I'll be working and everything, but I'm going to try and catch a movie or two if I can.

A very good chapter, but damn it Eagle, why must there always be a cliffhanger. You better hurry and post 29, haha.

I agree, I think that these spammers are taking things WAY TOO FAR. You'd think that they'd take the admins' generosity to not ban them more nobly. As for the legality of hacking, I don't think there's a specific law to ban it, but the accused hackers may breach their ISP's terms of service contract. If thats the case, then I believe all Wade would have to do is report their activities to their ISP, in which case the ISP could refuse to continue their services to the offenders.

It'll be quite interesting to see how this all turns out, and best of luck to those who may have lost their accounts to malicious users.


Fudge dapping.
