Sorry to hear about that - I know that my cousin's first dog being put down in similar circumstances really hit him hard and so did the second one, a few months back.

I nearly fainted in the vets, when they told us that they had to put my girlfriend's cockatiel down, if that makes you feel any better.

In that case, a word to the wise - you're posting too quickly, slow down. Try reading the thread and checking that you've responded to as much conversation as you need / want to before you his post. I know that some people can go a little mad with their posting when they've got some time on their hands, but you've made over 160 posts today.

I know that my opinion isn't worth very much, but you're sacrificing post quality in a desperate search for 1,000 Posts. I've got over 15,000 Posts over five years That's only an average of 8 per day, so think before you post. Please.

SlashFirestrorm sir I'm so sorry I did not know so I'm guessing that why you have not been as active. I really love animals cats, not so much dogs and I do know how horrible its feels to have them gone. I have seen a few of my cats being put down its heartbreaking, although they were very old the first two. I hope you wont be to absent I love dogs know dogs go too its horrid. Anyway well done KingExodus on your new level. Anyway off topic nice to see Tails here again.

I feel your pain slash. I had a Nile monitor for several years and It was one of the most important things to me. They're usually extremely vicious and hard to tame, but when I was 12 years old, I got the animal and it was maybe 6 inches long and so young that it was too little to do any damage to me. I spent a few hours a day handling it as much as I could without him getting pissed and just resting my fist in his cage so he could get used to the idea of my hands being around him. I say fist because if you just stuck your hand in there flat and he had a shot at your fingers, buckle up, you're in for some pain. Haha.

I babied that thing for years and years and he ended up being almost like a dog. Whenever I was home I would let him out of his cage, as very rarely would he start ripping into walls and scratching up the carpet like most adult monitors are prone to do. When you have to put that much effort into raising a pet and when the turnout is a great as it was, it's especially difficult to let them go. He died a few months ago. He was right around 5 feet long. I'm hoping to pick up another one once I get out of the army and can spend the time I need to raise it properly. Just have to try and move on with it buddy. :/

And King Exodus, Bloy stole this flash from the OP of that thread in General. Definitely malicious.

What is this? It seems to me that there is something wrong with this, but I have absolutley no idea what. Anybody care to take a look at it?

Wait a second; 160 posts, at a limit of 4 posts every half-hour = 20 hours online!? Jesus Christ! That's insane!

(Unless I've got that wrong, which is always a possibility.)

I can't really agree with this more if I tried. Post count is one of the most ridiculously over-valued things on Newgrounds. I don't even know why it's displayed in every post you make.
I'd much rather have 100 decent posts than 100,000 crappy one-liners. Posting just for the sake of making an arbitrary number go up (in the sad hope that it'll buy you some kind of respect here) is just juvenile, and frankly, pathetic.

I think this Bloy account is one of PSPOwnsMeself's many, many alts. That guy is not known for logical reasoning (as anyone who goes on Stickam will tell you), but even so, I don't see why you'd bother stealing a broken flash, only to co-author the real artist in the credits anyway. Weird shit.

I think its 4 posts in the same thread every half an hour. I think you can make any number of posts in any amount of time if you spread them over multiple threads.

Yep. Case in point.

Ah, that makes a reassuring amount of sense. I'm already sick of this forum destroying my faith in humanity, so I'm kinda glad I was wrong on that one.

This game crashed my browser twice. If anyone could explain this, please do. If not, then could it be flagged as unsuitable? It shuts my entire browser down.

My Firefox says one of the scripts in it is causing it to run slowly. I think it's been made using needlessly clunky programming script.

However, I don't think this is deliberate. It's probably a case of the author using outdated script, not a serious attempt to mess with your browser. I'd leave it if I were you.

Yes I had the same problem I'm using a Mac but it crashed, and asked if I wanted to run Action Script which I declined twice. I tested it out and like you said it crashed twice. I don't know if it something to do with computer settings I'm using Camino but its odd.

But if nobody can play it, then isn't that the author's fault? Shouldn't he update it? Or am I just being stupid/hardheaded? :(

I doubt that it has something to do with the computer settings. It seems to be what Sheizenhammer said, this being that the author is using an outdated script. I'll contact the author to see if this is a script error, which it probably is. Never had this on any game before though.

He should, however there's a gap between stuff that just deserves a zero until re-done properly and malicious, whistle-worthy content. I think this is somewhere in that gap, and as such (since it's not obviously malicious) I'm giving the guy the benefit of the doubt here.

Between the file size, the username, and the fact that it doesn't work, I'd say this is another Crebz file-swap. Keep an eye out for it.

Yep. Did a little research on the author. Not too great of a person.

If anyone remembers that robotic sumo thingy I've been mentioning in my last posts... Well, we ended up winning :D Quite a good experiences, and we got some nice prizes (including a cool 4GB pen drive), and there's still one thing that they called the "Microsoft prize" or something by the style, I don't know what it is yet but probably I will be getting it in some days. Will it be a computer? I don't think so, that would be too expensive...

Oh Slash I'm sorry to hear that. I hope there was something we could do to make you feel a little bit better. The worst thing about having a pet is that you love it but you know that someday you'll have to go through this sad moment. At least, probably it had a happy life and I'm pretty sure you've always done your best to take care of your dog.

If you were correct about that, making my stat list updates would be a real pain in the arse. I think that I'd have to go and lie down for a bit.

Mind you, some people do do 5+ post updates, which could be a real pain for them.

Speaking of which, The top 100 Review Responses List update is up!

Not that anyone here is really that interested in it, but it's a quality list to aim for :)

Some guy in the Wi/Ht forum brought this to my attention. Looks like it's probably the file-swap I reported last night. Sending PM off to Wade right now.

Sorry for the DP

Forgot to say what was wrong with it, it's the decapitation video.

That was.....brutal? Horrific? Anyway, it kinda goes beyond the boundaries of NSFW. If anyone has seen the video where a "kid gets his face smashed off", it passes those limits...

Yep. He didn't delete it yet, so I pm'd him too.

Yeah... let's not feed the troll any more than what's absolutely necessary, OK?
That video has been file-swapped into the portal at least a dozen times already. It's nothing new. We all already know about this user and how much of a hopeless troll he is; there's no real need to report crap like that here (Wade gets rid of it the day it's submitted anyway, PMs or not).

Next time, just send the PM to Wade (if you want to) and let that be the end of it. Frankly, I don't see why he's worth anyone's time at all anymore, since he's so predictable.

All he's really doing is generating a load of whistle points through butthurt reviewers, as well as making a good case for the argument in favor of portal mods. Which works for me. :D

Since we are talking about rule-breaking stuff, I'll bring this up. In case you haven't noticed, Wade was on a deleting spree. Check the obituaries, and you'll see that a lot of Scarymovieguy's flashes were deleted. Also, Cr3bz made a thread about it but it was deleted too.

If you guys also did not notice the [OO] went on a spamming spree 2 days back and really inundated the portal for about 20 minutes. Over that peroid of time various authors submitted the same thing saying things like "i hacked wade" or something about the BBS. In all there were about 17 of them and i'm sure Wade got to them or at least someone did. All of them were gone before they even got a chance. Well i got there in time and got some whisle points and blam points as well.

[OO]? What can that stand for out of curiosity oh and it sucks that I missed out on all those points for me whistle and me B/P...

Really, the [OO}?! And here I thought they were just a pure group of annoying spamming idiots. Huh. Odd. The [DD] I can see pissing off everyone every chance they get, the [KK] a slight annoyance. The [OO] just seemed kinda funny. I mean the name alone is just plain silly. Owl Orchard. Since when do birds of prey grow in an orchard?! Unless they were hatched in an orchard, /o_0.

In other news, anyone got any idea as to why NG is really frickin' slow today?

Well, I received some complaints regarding the continuation of the story on b/p thread so I may gonna have to wrap the early elements up, no choice but it happens. The Fulp's Report is recovered so yeah...

Thanks for everyone's condolences about my dog. I'm definitely not alone...anyone who's ever had a pet goes through this someday. I'm just lucky that I had a whole decade and a half with my dog, which is more than a lot of people get with their pets. I wouldn't have minded having another fifteen years with her, though...

Ya, they just want crazy and looked like they were trying to spam the portal with the same thing over and over. Just a picture with some random garbage, nothing to over the top.

I can see that. I was kinda busy this weekend myself, but still found some time for Newgrounds and also found time for writing the story some more. However, my posting pretty much dropped to zip in here...

Anyway, speaking of the story, here's chapter 33: Barracks Under Fire - Chapter 33 I hope you call enjoy it! I'm currently typing up chapter 34 as fast as I can!

What do y'all think, about my new sig? Mich made it. And damn if he ain't rivaled in skill to Supra. Those two are probably the best of the best when it comes to sig making. I can hold my own, but I know I ain't that good.

Top sig makers, in my opinion:

1. Supra
2. Mich
3. whoever it is that makes those futuristic/bar/NG style kind of sigs in various colors. Those are also pretty fucking awesome.
