Woah woah woah woah, did I miss something? Since when did I resign from the EGB? Sure I've been inactive and only contribute when I feel there is something worth contributing to, but I'm still around dammit. Show me where you viewed that I resigned.

0_0
I think there was a failure to communicate somewhere along the rollcall.
I stated that I intended to contribute once something comes up that catches my interest, not that I wasn't interested in the club.

Slash, when you make the next update, could you add me back on the roster? I realize I haven't been very active due to school, friends, unexpected events, and soon to be my job, but I check in every now and then to see if I have anything to contribute to this place.

Lizzardis and Ismael92 handle the updates, so yeah, whoever's doing the next roster will add you back on.

In other news...well, I have a feeling I'm not going to be around the EGB much longer. My interest in NG is at an all-time low...not because of anything knocking it down, but mainly because I don't really feel any incentive at all to be active. Hell, I even missed another deposit a couple days back because I completely forgot about the site. Should I decide to resign (or, at the very least, relinquish my power and become a quasi-active normal guy), I'll let y'all know. I'm still keeping an eye on this place.

Aww, cheer up man. We all lose interest in NG every now and again, but usually it comes back around within a week or so because all our friends are here. Or are on AIM/Yahoo/Windows Live/MSN/facebook/etc. I ain't letting you resign. You're one of the coolest guys I've met on NG.

Friends:

Krev
Lizz
You(Slash)
Porkchop
Michelinman
Eagle
Byte
Fro
Insanimation
Ismael
PuddinN64

I'm indifferent to the mods, both review and BBS. Though if I had to choose, I guess I'd pick Mal, Poozy, and Jamoke. I chat with them the most on AIM.

We know how you feel. Losing interest from time to time, or even permanently, is a natural thing.

Should I decide to resign (or, at the very least, relinquish my power and become a quasi-active normal guy), I'll let y'all know. I'm still keeping an eye on this place.

Whether you stay or not, you'll always be one of our friends. Keep in touch and keep us updated, I know you will.

In other news, any notice that NG doesn't like proper spacing between sentences in your news posts? Rather odd, wouldn't you say guys? I just tried fixing my most recent chapter of my fic, and when I had finished properly spacing the sentences, and saved it, it still went back to single space between each sentence. Really, really, weird.

Whoa, wait. There's no working bathrooms? Well, I guess I could live with it if it was in the basement. Just close the door and put a lot of baking soda around.

But after a while, you'll get used to the smells. Every once in a while you'll have to change up the rules and/or created some kind of elimination to help bring the game to the end.

I think it also adds a line in between paragraphs for you. I'm not 100% on that, since I usually do it myself, but I remember something like that happening after I made a news post.

Sorry to hear that, buddy! Well, you know I'm always on AIM if you want to talk about stuff, but I can definitely say I've been in your position before. As a matter of fact, the roles were swapped. It's hard when you just don't have that drive to go on NG and keep going, especially when the Barracks is involved. At no point was I ever uninterested in the EGB, but when the Internet directs you elsewhere (read: MMORPG's) or life just takes over (e.g. actually gaining one), you just can't keep going.

I can say one thing for sure: the EGB will still be here whether or not you choose/are able to participate, so you sure don't need to feel like you're letting anyone down. However, I can also say that we'll be quite sad if you do leave and you will have many friends here that will miss you. That said, however, you need to do what you need to do. I don't think anyone would want you to force yourself to post here or do whatever, or worse, have it affect your life adversely. So do what you must, and know that I (and I am sure the rest here) will support whatever you choose.

Forceful, aren't ya. He sure is awesome, and if there's one thing I learned, getting older and the passing of time hasn't seemed to quell my interest in this place. I'm sure even if he chooses to be inactive for a while...he'll be back. He sure as hell better be back. :-)

Hey, I made the list! Awesome!

The small price of inactivity...

I shouldn't suspect that this will effect the EGB in terms of stability. Of course we are saddened, but we are a strong bunch and users. You take time off NG if you need it.

The EGB ain't goin' nowhere if I have anything to do about it. :-) But we do have a full roster of capable members that will always be here to rise to the occasion. :-)

Anyway, my only hope is Slash gets some time to read my story, as I'd like for him to see me memorialize him in the story. :-) That being said, I AM still working on the sequel, so don't lose hope on that one just yet. Once I hit a groove in this story it'll be flowing fast and furious. I have so many ideas but am having trouble getting them out in words right now...

Does that mean ol' EagulRawk can have his club back? :P

Seriously, I understand. The rulebreakers seem to have all fucked off for a long time now, and the few persistent ones have just faded into little more than background noise here. And without much to report here, the whole purpose of the club just isn't as entertaining as it is during summer holidays and such.

Still, there's always more holidays round the corner, complete with stupid bored kids trying to troll NG. Just not right now, is all.

Wow. Slash, you can't be serious?! After all we've been through? Aw, come on, the EGB without SlashFirestorm is like Star Wars without Hans Solo! Look, take a little break, go get some fresh air - we'll put you on extended R & R and keep your seat warm until you get back, ok?

In other news, I finished Chapter 11 - Sacrifices on my fanfic. Go ahead and read it when you can. There's some excitement and a lot of character development - oh, and a hint as to what will happen in chapter 12.

As for PuddinN64's list, I have a list of faves especially for this time of year. Some of them are oldies, but they'll all good for a scare or two:

Hellbound
Hellbound II: Hellraiser
A Nightmare on Elm Street (just the first one - the rest were garbage)
Any of the "Saw" movies
13 Ghosts
The Blair Witch Project (yes, it's low-tech. But watch it in the dark, by yourself - you'll see!)
Any of the "Underworld" movies
The House of Wax (either the old,old one from Vincent Price, or the recent one a few years ago)
Alien (The first one is a horror movie. The rest are just beggars for more money)
The Exorcist

There are others, for sure. Anyways, hope you had a great birthday!

I'm so sorry you feel like that SlashFirestorm I have really missed you on here as we all have. But maybe just take a break but lurk. its sad but I guess it happens sometimes you have been so active this year ,and done a brilliant job just as well as EagleRock you all Rock! But I don't want you to resign but again its your decision. Well this Newgrounds show sounds cool but a bit smelly but I like the idea of winning $100,000. Sounds like a cool idea maybe. With spammers they have been less active but I have noticed that fake people claiming to be the real author twice now.

Sorry to see you go Slash. I know exactly what you're going through. It gets old and too time consuming after a while. Just don't forget about the place. I did and when I thought of it and came back, the only people that I ran into on here from the old days are Mal, alexsmolik, and Ozcar the one time he logged in. It's lame trying to get involved with the community again once you've been gone for so long.

On the plus side, I see lots of boobs in the thread. Boobs are good.

Maybe Slash will make a triumphant return at that point and we can do some old-fashioned B/P runs like we did in the past. Those were always fun. After all, we can't have one of the most prestigious Elite Guards ever not flexing his epeen out there on the Portal :-)

I think the part of I love about people's lists is that it shows their favorite genres quite blatantly. We know Byte is a huge horror fan while Cobra is a fan of the sci-fi action-adventure flicks. Myself? I'd say my faves are comedies. I'll toss in a few must-see comedies:

- Clerks
- Clerks II
- Basically any other film by Kevin Smith
- My Cousin Vinny
- My Blue Heaven
- Spaceballs
- Police Academy series

And if you like standup, here's a few recommendations:
- George Carlin
- George Carlin
- George Carlin
- George Carlin

Enjoy!

You might want to know a little something about Suffering before you say shit. See, back in the day Suffering was 50vmp, one of the best Flash artists I've ever known. He made abcess, for crying out loud, and did work on things like Metal Gear Funnies. Then Wade locked him for unknown reasons. But though Tom won't unlock him, or maybe can't because he used the e-mail for another account, I don't know, at least Tom knows what Suffering can do, what he has done. Heck, Tom probably even likes some of the spam, strange as it may seem to people like us.

Yeah. It has to be e-mail validated to have EXP rank, and when it's locked the validation is gone. Hence, no EXP rank. Of course, that has some unfortunate implications for the former accounts of certain well-known NG trolls, for example for Protocol2319 aka Goldencat or for cr0m, where they were supposedly locked long ago but now the EXP rank is back. Were they unlocked by glitch?

I wonder why Wade locked 50vmp in the first place? Admittedly he was and is a spammer, but by the lock time he was far from publicly breaking any rules. Or was he sending the mods and admins massive numbers of PMs?

Haha, I never would've guessed. Although, some of his stuff seemed a little too good to be from an ordinary spammer to me. Well, the more you know.

Heck, Tom probably even likes some of the spam, strange as it may seem to people like us.

There's a very good reason Tom put 'spam' as a specific genre, and I think the above has a lot to do with it.

Speaking of which, does anyone here have a 'favourite' spam flash? You know, the kind of shit that you know is utter garbage, but you still laugh at it? Mine would have to be this:
