No, it's slower than watching paint dry,

or an old lady in the left lane of I-95 just outside of Ft. Lauderdale,
or a tour bus full of Japanese tourists in Las Vegas,
or waiting for the NY Mets to win another World Series,
or ANYTHING you have to do at the Motor Vehicle department....
Also, Byte can I has a special sig. Please? I'll stop pissing in Cobra's drinks if you do this for me.
Sure. Any special requests or themes?
Sorry about the double post - I was working on Puddin64's sig, hoping he'd get back to me with some ideas. He's probably asleep by now, so I'll just toss this one out there.
I was inspired to do an "electronics" look, since the last time I saw an N64, it was in pieces. Never let a bright 8 year old with an imagination higher than their education in electrical engineering near a toolbox when the N64 decides to act up. They know how to disassemble things really well - it's that last tricky part of "put it back together so it works" that gets them every time. (true story - my nephew, my toolbox - his sister's N64. It didn't end well at all... )
So, what do you think, Puddin?

Wow, Cobra, you really need to work in a good counter tonight to save yourself from all these bombastic diatribes. We're counting on you to get yourself out of the hole here!
Well excuse me if my brain happens to shut down around 11:45pm and I can't think of any good comebacks! >_< Jeez, I make one little comment, and suddenly everyone's hoping on the bandwagon to berate me as best they can.
Hey, wait a second, here's a comeback:
HELLO!? It COUNTS AS SPAMMING, am I right? Also, if y'all keep berating me like this, I may just leave y'all out in the rain when it comes to my daily submission rounds for abusive reviews. How's that?

Oh, Cobra, we're just having a little fun here. You can't help it if EagleRock and I are both nocturnal, and still are fully mentally and physically functional in the early hours of the morning.

Hmm.... that's not a comeback, it's a temper tantrum XP! Sounds a lot like "if you're not gonna play nice with me, imma takin' my marbles and goin' home!"

And, besides, you know we only pick on you because we love you like a brother in our family. True, it's greatly dysfunctional family and will drive most of you to therapy, but it is a family, nevertheless.

I'll give him half-credit on this one... the -tion suffix does seem to apply to berate, and some informal dictionaries list it as a word. While the more formal dictionaries do not list it, give it time...it'll eventually be a word... :-)
of course, we don't have 60 years to sit on our asses waiting for Merriam-Webster to decide that "beration" is a word before we get on with our lives... :-)

I have some excellent news guys! Eagle already knows this because I told him over AIM, but the rest of y'all are out in the cold.
Guess who I got a call back from roughly at 1:30, NG time? TARGET! They want me to come in this Thursday for an interview at 11:30 am NG time! WHOOO!
YIPPEE!! YAHOO!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!
Anyone else had problems with the sound on flash? I'm so fucking pissed of with flash at the moment I'm talking about adobe. It seem to work fine sometimes then goes. I found this even on other laptops so its not my Mac. Maybe its my internet connection I heard about a flash bug. On using the search engine other people had the same trouble, but why suddenly I don't know. Mine been like this since last week. Driving me fucking crazy. Anyway Congrats to you SlntCobra1. I'm mad at the flash
Archer I'm a good shot!
Not quite sure, it does have a picture of a naked black guy up to his upper body. Overall it's up to you...
Funny thing is that he could be the same black guy from the first intermission story if you know what I mean.

Nope, the only rule involving nudity reads "Nude people engaging in sexual activity". The key bit there being the 'engaging in sexual activity' part. No sex / porn = not against the rules.
Anyway, I just noticed something odd in today's obituary. There are entries in there that have submit dates on them from 2005. It looks like someone from '05 just got deleted today. Anyone have an idea who it was or why?

So hi, you possibly remember me, I got the rollcall message and such, here posting now okay. I don't know how active I'll remain at this point, maybe more so, if I don't come back to regular activity, then feel free to remove me.
I've lost intrest in many things, stuff happens, real life commitments, etc.

It could be a case of random moronity, but sometimes Wade just deletes old accounts like that as an easy way of getting rid of lots of spam flashes at once. If the account is well and truly dead, and the flashes are in need of some housekeeping-related deletions, I suppose it's easier just to clean the whole account as opposed to all the flashes.
Then again, I'm not sure. Hence asking, y'know.
I don't think accounts are deleted just because they are old and have spam flash on them, that would be deleting things that some people might like. There is possibly a reason as to why accounts are deleted and not just inactivity. Why wait for a spammer to be inactive if you are going to delete their flash? It makes little sense.
Like Little-Rena... i am posting after the rollcall.. not much to say
i haven't been in NG active enough to understand the conversation lately, so i am kinda lost, the momment we get to a topic i know i will post again XD...
I have tried to order my life lately, that's the main reason for my inactivity
anyway, nice to see everyone so active

Well, that's not pornography. Let's just say that we don't want to have suggestions like this in here, as per my warning.

you have 85 blams.. and 2890 saves... sure, because WE are the ones letting the "blam-worthy submissions" pass

I find myself trying to blam submissions only for them to pass, I'm really not as generous as I was as like last year when it comes to voting, it's really imposing on my save points.
At least it makes a difference and afterwards people can look at the score and think to themselves; " That shouldn't have gotten past." and vote better next time. Well at least I hope people do.
Unless of course the 200 people voting are 200 active forum users, if that were the case, we're all fucked.

I hear you. Despite what I consider "blam worthy" (true crud) that I throw my 0's and 1's at, they still seem to pass with numbers like 1.7 to 1.9. It can be frustrating, but at least I know that I'm keeping fairness first, ahead of stats. We need more people to vote fairly, plain and simple.

Unfortunately, the people you speak of are generally young and immature, and are only interested in collecting points to beat their friends. They don't think about fairness.

Everything will balance out in due time. The more people that stick to their guns and vote fairly, the less power the mass-voters have. If a flash does in fact deserve to be blammed and is passing wtih only a 1.7, it's not going to take much more power to sway the vote to the proper side.
Unfortunately, the people you speak of are generally young and immature, and are only interested in collecting points to beat their friends. They don't think about fairness.
Yep...that was the case in 2001, and that's the case today. However, the best thing to do is to vote fairly all the time and encourage as much as possible. When things start getting proper judgment, the masses will be forced to vote fairly if they want to get their points. After that, what power will the spam groups have?
Stay strong - we got your back!
Yep...it's a tough battle, but one that can be won in the long run if everyone keeps at it. :-)

I've seen some out and out spam pass with scores of over 2, which can be disheartening, but at the end of the day, I'm still getting lots of Blams. It's just a case of making people see sense that the 1 button is the most useless button on Newgrounds. Yes, it's even more useless than the Chat button.
Seriously, if you want a flash blammed, why would you vote 1? There is more chance of it surviving and you not getting the point. If it gets through, have you made that much of a difference to the overall score, by voting 0? Probably not.
Still, when I'm voting on Saves, I vote 2-5, because these ones are worthy of some respect from me and therefore that I at least watch them all the way through and rate them properly.
Hi guys, just thought I'd drop in and say that I'm alive and still kicking, even though I'm having to go to the library to get on NG half the time and the old crone that's running the place hates me, haha. Right now, I'm borrowing my dad's PC, so the library isn't an issue for now, but enough of that. It's good to see you all again, and I'd tell you all the things that happened while I was away, but that'd be too long to list and would make me seem like a self-centered arse. Instead, I'll ask how all of you are . . So how are you?
I see the portal's beginning to become a problem as of late. I have to agree with all of you and say that it's been getting steadily more and more out of hand as the years go by. My issue is with the spammers that have over 100 submissions and don't put an ounce of effort into their work. I make an exception for Slash, because whenever he submits work, it's actually enjoyable, mind you, but I find that a lot of flash is intentionally crappy. Of course, I've been guilty of spam in the far off past too, and I know how the grass looks on the other side of the fence, but that's not my point. My beef is that there are WAY too many spam submissions making it into the system simply because people are not voting fairly. Whether we're alone in this fight or not, we should stand up for what is right, vote fairly, and most importantly, we shouldn't be making assumptions based on things we take at face value, like someone's blams or saves. It doesn't matter. What does matter is that we work together to keep the portal clean and have fun doing it. Am I right?

The portal seems okay but then I'm not on it much to check. Hello there andra364 long time no see. Well things passing is nothing new mass voting I guess still happens. But its not as bad as last summer with the infamous Duck Devision they were the worst. I did see one submission by RR Robert Rangers old group. Been watching Bioshock on YouTube really cool although I don't really like FPS games much, but this game looks cool.
