Fine, freeze your balls off, see if I care!

Celsius, not Fahrenheit ;)

Water hasn't got a chance of freezing at that temperature, unless you reduce the pressure in there by a few bar.

Further to that - Iwas after some sunburn - I meant my forearms, as opposed to chest, or worse. You don't go exposing yourself where the only sun catching spot in the entire town is occuped by swans, geese and ducks.

Yeah, I noticed yesterday. OK, less "noticed" and more "was notified by Levon's news post", but the effect is the same.

I wonder why it took so long for his account to be deleted.

Maybe that he hadn't done shit in months, all his alts were long gone, and Wade only got around to prosecute his months old mass-flagging on Sunday or so.

I knew that he broke many rules on his user page from like two years ago

That was years ago, and many of his alts were deleted for it.

He was a massive spammer.

A long time ago. I hate to admit it, but I miss the guy. He made things interesting around here, which they aren't anymore. Like every awesome bad guy, he was easy to hate, and I hated him in my time, but he was needed for the story to happen. Without the spammers, what story is there?

Well would be nice to see a role call and a roster around here cause haven't seen one in quite some time but may also just be over looking the last one made. I know I would probably be ranked on there as new because of my inactivity not too long ago. But anyway, with all that aside how is everybody?

Oh yes, definitely evil. This site needs less morons submitting stick trash worse than the worst spam and corporate accounts promoting other websites and more actual villains. Say what you will about Fleek or for that matter any other long-running spammer and the annoying shit they pull, they did more than their share to make this place interesting.

Whoa, at least Fleek had done stuff wrong. Laucherella really hasn't done anything except submit trash. If you could be deleted just for a submission a day of garbage, half my friends on this site would have been deleted before I ever got here! (the other half being the EGB) That being said, I would love to see Laucherella slapped in the face with two Blammed submissions in a row. And then again when his/her Portal ban ended.

Yeah was definitely intresting around the portal in those times. But now that most of them have really gone away I think that's what takes away from the activity I think but they are a better quality now and not just 24/7 shit hitting the portal like it used to be.

Well I level up in around 9 days or so cool. But talking about Princess Laucherella I would not bother leaving a comment again on her user page, when I did before got a rude reply. I think that Princess Laucherella was like another account after he got deleted before http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/35 3869 Talking of the flash portal I noticed that there seem to be lots of games being posted on friday morning GMT time UK time.

Yeah the flash portal seems to be at it's most active around noon CST which is an hour nehind that of NG time. But anyway I got about 25 on the day and had 40 yesterday so i'm getting a good average at the moment. But I know that will go way down when I head back to work.

I think in this circumstance, it wasn't required for the link to be provided - the brash manner of "I've brought this game from somewhere else, because they make good games" was evidence enough.

Thanks for the original link though.

Personally, I never trust comments alone: you can't tell for certain if they're lying or not without doing your own research into where the flash came from, in which case, why not just trust your own findings and forget about the author's comments anyway?

In cases like this, where someone steals an obviously professional-looking game, then it makes it very likely that the submitter is not lying about stealing it, but even then there are people on NG that are very good at making professional-quality flashes, but even better at being complete dicks in other areas of the site (This guy for example).

Considering the time it takes to find original links for apparently blatant thefts like this (read: a minute if that), is it really worth risking your whistle over not checking, however small the risk may be?

Catch up posts won't come in any certain order because firefox is gay and opens up tabs in a different order. Some go to the back of the list and some go to the front of the list.

Sorry, I've been inactive for several reasons, but I'll make up for it now. A couple of the reasons being the users in this club, but most of it has to do with how busy I've been in real life, the production of a couple of games, and just one of those phases I go through where I rather play the great games on newgrounds than post.

So, today is April fools day.. And I'm annoyed. Haha. This "April fools" Theme is rather annoying. Moreso than the China one that was on last year. For some reason this one is more annoying than anything. But oh well, after this roster I'm not coming back on here until tomorrow anyway because of that reason.

Thanks for the roster, but if I say it one time I'll say it a thousand times. April fools is suppose to be annoying and make people mad. It's the day that you play practical jokes on people. If people enjoyed the practical joke then well... it wouldn't be a joke at all.

Plus, as you will have seen, I have added a new section to the roster. This being a back up file. Since a few days ago I "accidentally" deleted the roster for the NGPD... It was only pure luck that I got the roster back because I made a back up of it and linked it to the roster. So I will be doing that from now on. I wouldn't want to be put under the pressure of making the EGB roster again... It's too much hard work as it as and I couldn't recreate it even if I tried. Haha.

Yeah, nice idea. That would suck having to make an entire list over again. *Imagines what would happen if Bahamut's files were deleted*

But yeah, this month has been a slow one for me on NG. Mearly because my real life has been picking up a lot. Plus, I've got exams and such coming over the next few months, so therefore I will be studying a lot... Hopefully.

Good luck with the studying and keep having fun!

And they have been as inactive as me since. :)

The List:
08] 34,595 | 0,000 | 00.0 | + 0.00 SlashFirestorm Sup. Com.
09] 33,145 | 0,161 | 05.2 | -- 3.19 Shanus Sup. Com.

I just don't think there is anyway to catch you guys, but I'm still pretty happy with being in the top 10.

10] 32,264 | 0,408 | 13.2 | + 7.48 Fro Sup. Com.

My numbers have been really low lately, but I have hardly any motivation to B/P. I go through phases though were I'll randomly get 200 in a week compared to the usual 20 that I get in a week.

Top 5 Gainers
ByteSlinger - 1,671

Breakfast, any?

Man, I can't get enough breakfast. I love eating breakfast at university. I love having my eggs a little runny and the bacon crispy. I'll put two eggs on an English muffin, two pieces of sausage, two pieces of cheese, and top it off with bacon. It makes the perfect sandwich. :)

Yeah bacause of the lack luster dial-up connection i'm having to live with makes it pretty damn hard to even watch flash. So I have to grade what I think is good just by looking at a few factors. And can't write reviews either which sucks cause I really would like to start doing that again.

Hm, I don't B/P until I can watch the entire submission. I don't find it honest or fair to vote on a submission if you can't watch the flash.....

When I had dial up at home (from 2004 to like a month ago) I would just B/P on the lower file flash submissions. That was with a 36 kb connection as well. Now I have dsl at home and the college internet is wireless of course so I picked it up later on in my career. Let alone I didn't have any B/P till 2007.

I can back this up Coop. There was one time when Rages thread was still alive that a bunch of spammers just said their flashes were stolen in the comments and they made the menu's look professional. I remember none of them being stolen though and after a few minutes of being on the portal they changed the author comments back to something normal. It was already posted in the thread though and people marked it as stolen.

About a month later there were talks about a glitch because a bunch of people went to garbage.

While I'm here... (Actually wasn't done with my posts anyway, just ran out of characters)

Who in the EGB would like to help the Medal Games Wiki? You would have to respond here or PM me and I can give you the ability to do it. The people in the medal guide thread seemed to be excited for it for about a minute until they realized that it would be a little bit of work.

The idea would be to take the guides from Wylina's userpage and then to put them on the correct pages in wiki format. If anyone is interested, and it would be a great help to the website, then please check out this thread.

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1159 944

A bump of that thread would also be helpful to the community so more people can see it and help if they want to.

----------

On top of that I've been to a few concerts since I've been inactive here and I've been busy with a few other things so I thought I would talk about those things.

I've made a game that took daily 4th and won underdog of the week. I'm looking to get it sponsored right now, but it's actually made close to $40 profit right now. We are currently working on number 2 and it's going to be much better than number 1!

I've seen the following bands in concert: (In order)

1,000 Foot Krutch
Red
10 Year
Breaking Ben
Living Things
Alice in Chains

I was at Alice in Chains last night and man... I can barely here anything. I was only 20 feet away if that and my ears feel like they are bleeding. They played every single one of their songs and it was a show for sure. I also enjoy seeing fights and people being kicked out. :P

I saw that thread and it's an interesting idea, it will also help the wiki and it would be nice to see it full of articles written by the users of NG in the future. However, I didn't post or say anything because I haven't written any guide or walkthrough for games (and the thread it said it was for people who have written guides).

But if you just need someone to take the guides from Wylina's news posts then I can do that :) I have lots of free time, and as I said I'd like to see the wiki full of user-generated content.

^^ Perfect example of why you shouldn't just take the flash on face value. It LOOKS like an obvious theft from ZONE-SAMA, but it is in fact an edit of one of her works, and it's too heavily edited to really call it outright theft anymore.

Stupid, maybe even borderline... but not as stolen as it looks on face value. I can't find any trace of the flash itself anywhere besides right here, so it's probably not from ZONE at all, suspicious preloader or not.
