Some other observations about this:
- In the flash, the opening scene says "videlectrix", that makes me think that the game is from here: http://www.videlectrix.com/videlectrix_c atalog.html
(also, note that in the author's userpage, there is no web displayed, and the author's email is from aol, which is pretty suspicious)
- Some of the author's older flashes are considerably worse.
I'd say he got the flash from videlectrix and uploaded it here.
And remember that we are supposed to vote the flash depending on its quality, whether it's stolen or not.
Anyway, the flash was flagged.
Actually, to be honest, "Videlectrix" does not exist. It is a fake video game brand created by the Homestar Runner website (www.homestarrunner.com). Homestar Runner has been around for the longest time and is quite a fully site, too...once you get to know the characters a bit on there, the Strong Bad Emails are some of the funniest Flash animations you'll ever see. The whole Videlectrix thing started off because the author loves classic video games and he basically emulated that through Strong Bad, who was talking about "awesome classic games" like "Secret Collect" and other games that are basically Atari-like and involve a bunch of dots going around the screen.
I have a lot more background on these games, including the Strong Bad Email that "Stinko Man" is based on. I'll provide them if you guys want. Either way, I highly recommend checking out homestarrunner.com and start listening to the SBEmails...you will laugh, I promise.

You can see maybe about using irc which is a chat room I think so hopefully that explains idiot-buster. Thank you Ismael92 for your very helpful reply I looked and it looked like a Windows one I'm using a Mac.
If you're using a Mac like me, I recommend Colloquy. It's a free client for Mac, and it's arguably the best for the Mac OS platform. Joining my server with Colloquy is really easy too. Just click "New server" on the Connections window, enter your nickname, and enter "egbirc.eagleworld.net" as the server name. All the rest can be left alone. Once you're in the server, click "Join Room" and enter "#EGB". Enjoy!

It's a good set up that Eagle has done. Can get a bit annoying though. I kind of tend to zone out, and then come back in 2 hours later and everyone is gone and I'm like..... Crap.
Well, IRC can get boring with only a few people on. I want to try to get everyone to log in on a semi-regular basis, so that way whenever you join, we always have at least a few people on IRC. During the weekends or whenever everyone's off work/school/whatever, it'll be one big Barracks chatroom! So, assuming we get more people to join and help people like plantomlassuk and Sheizenhammer get on, we'll build up a nice userbase and make the server worth actually joining. It'll certainly be better than forcing everyone to use AIM and organizing a chat room every time we want to talk. Plus, we can create as many rooms in there as you like, so we can make private rooms, a warroom, and things like the #Violations channel (like I already created) for discussions on rulebreaking.
Oh yeah, one more thing: For people using XChat (like Sheizenhammer), I've posted step-by-step instructions on how to configure it on the EGB forums here.
