I think this guy called AddictingGames23 is just an idiot, I think his flashes are totally stolen, we should pay a lot of attention to him, and when we find the links, let's all PM TOM!! WHOOO! Yeah!
Let's go, fellows detectives!

Don't be a 'tard all your life - please have a day off, for the sake of the rest of us.
If we find anything, I can collate it all and get it sent via AIM to Wade and a few other admins, that can deal with the problem smoothly.
There is no point in stating that something is stolen if we can't prove it.
HELLO?! Are y'all forgetting that I posted the DATES of when those games I said where stolen were ORIGINALLY uploaded?! Or did y'all conveniently forget that?

I know I've told you this before: That is meaningless in and of itself. Just because there's a big difference in submission dates between websites doesn't automatically mean one must be stolen. What if the rightful owner just plain forgot to upload it elsewhere? What if he / she just found Newgrounds now, after using other websites for years?
Sure, it suggests the flashes might be stolen, but it's not incontravertible proof by any stretch of the imagination.

Look harder. Or just PM the original AddictingGames account, since few would argue that one's not genuine. I'd do it now but it's 2:45AM here and I really should've gone to bed by now already. G'night dammit!

Sheiz is right in this case. Let's remember that a date of submissions cannot confirm that something is stolen. We can only use it to confirm that it is NOT stolen. If we see a Flash submitted to three Flash sites in one day by a person with the same username with no prior posting of the Flash elsewhere, that's a good indication the Flash is probably not stolen. However, having disparaging dates does not help prove anything either way. All it does is tell us we cannot prove it to be stolen. And, since we follow the rule of erring on the side of caution, indeterminate evidence gets left by the wayside.
Either way, let's not get carried away and start bickering. It could be stolen, yes. It could not be stolen, yes. Either way, we can't tell for sure, so we drop it. Unless anyone has hard evidence towards either end, let's curb the conversation. We're supposed to be friends here, remember? :-)

Okay. AddictingGames' contact section has been sent a message and a PM was sent to the original AddictingGames account. Until if and when either respond, I suppose the best we can do is just shut up and ignore it.
Commander Nuts reporting in!!
Heeeey there, it's been so damn long! I don't even remember what was going on when I last posted in here! Meh, whatever, I'm back after a pretty long hiatus. I've been wanting to come back for a while now, since I decided to quit slacking on NG as a whole...
Basically, I wasn't posting, was barely B/Ping and wasn't giving a damn about it. And I began to miss... being active. So here I am, back to business. :)
In the meanwhile, I have set myself a new goal: become an EGSC before the end of the year. I'm a little less than 4,000 B/P away from it, and I think I'll be able to make it, by the pace I'm going ATM(excluding upcoming more active days, a.k.a NG holidays and my own winter break).
As for the current state of the Portal... eh, the KK has returned and there are plenty of crappy submissions going through. Not only that, but the amount of stolen, or, at least, very suspiciously stolen submissions being submitted and, sometimes, going through is an absurd. I still posted that odd stolen flash in here, and they might have been pulled a few times... Who is the one in charge of PMing Wade about them? I remember it being PossiblePancakes' duty, although he's no longer around, so...
Anyway, how is it going? What should I do now that I'm back? Can I already sign up at the nifty new forums that Eagle set up? Anything else that I should know?
Now, for an oldschool feeling:
Nuts, over and out.
*salutes*
Ah... ;P

By "don't be a 'tard all your life", I wasn't just referring to Roger.
We're talking circumstantial evidence here, which is as rigid as a piece of paper against a hurricane.
You've had rational explanations from several members of the barracks and if you carry on, I can only see this getting blown out of proportion.
Calm down, look at some other threads on Newgrounds - all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

"I'm sorry that it's not the full version, but HentaiKey do not allow me to post that here."
Hello ladies and gentlemen.
I do believe this is stolen
considering the original can be found
The account it was submitted by was made today and is blank with the exception of another submission which is also under judgment.

And was also stolen, and was also flagged along with this one.
I was in the middle of posting it when a big goddamn thunderstorm came over and blew out the power to my house. Now I'm on my crappy laptop with no battery. >:(
Oh well. I suppose I should do more important things with what little juice I have left. See ya for the next 24 hours at least. >.<!
Hello Sir-Nuts great to see you back again and your now a Commander! cool rank.
Shit I saw the same sonic823 and saw he had submitted another stolen game here is a possible stolen one here.
Stolen from here
What is with the stolen stuff lately I can't keep up and here is another one that passed.
Stolen?

Anyway I have seen lots of Kitty Krew stuff passing some better then others and this weather is hot. Hoping to trade my OBLIVION game for maybe Fallout 3.

Yea the KK has been busy today, and it's hot as hell. I might go for a run when it cools down a bit. Good choice on Fallout 3, good game.
Completely NSFW, contains 4 pornographic pictures and nothing else, seems as if the author's other submission was flagged for the same reason.
What the hell is wrong with people lately?
Stolen:
(from Club Penguin website... duh...).
Alright, I've been looking through a few bits and pieces that have been floating around and I might have to make a serious stab at getting the Blammer series up and running, since it's been pretty constant for a few years. I don't think I'll be able to get it made up before I pass Phantom (unless he comes back and goes schiz on the portal in the next few weeks, that is), but I'll give it a shot.
Any word on evidence about AddictingGames23?

Neither attempt at getting a response has worked so far. I'll give 'em a week, try again, and if it fails a second time we can only assume that this is real, or AddictingGames simply couldn't care less about their games being stolen in the first place. Maybe we should PM Tom by that point and see if he wants to do anything about it?
There was one thing I found odd, though: One of the reviews for a game uploaded yesterday said the game uploaded was site-locked, and as a result couldn't be played. It was switched with a different (playable) file quickly enough, but (if this review was to be believed) it does raise the question: Why would a genuine AddictingGames staff member not know some of the games are site-locked?
This looks like stolen from
* White frames around the flash which most times means that the flash is stolen.
* User account created today.
* Author's e-mail doesn't belong to the same domain.
* Credits don't match with the account that submitted it.

Wait, I posted the wrong link. It's stolen from here:

Hmmm, I see you've gone over that AddictingGames23 fellow. I probably should've checked what's been going down around here before posting that report on the NGPD. Also, Sheizen, are you sure that's AG's real NG account? It seems... sketchy to say the least.
Anyways, I'm glad to see that measures have been taken to get to the bottom of this. Let me know if there are any new developments on this matter. Thanks!
*salute*
Happily ETS'd.

Yeah... the idea kind of dawned on me half-way through writing the e-mail to AddictingGames' site. They got links to both NG accounts though, so if it's going to be taken care of, it'll be done thoroughly now.

As a matter of fact, I did get a reply from them. It wasn't the definite answer I was looking for, but it seems they're aware of it and are passing the message onto whoever can make the final say on who owns that account. And if they're going to contact Newgrounds themselves, I think this one might just sort itself out now.
That is, of course, if the e-mail doesn't get lost in a sea of virtual filing cabinets and administrative incompetence. Since this particular e-mail address seems to be the contact point for lots of different websites (all owned by MTV networks), there's a reasonable chance of that happening, annoyingly.

I'd say so. This is the best lead so far. If this account is truly stealing AddictingGames Flash, they will sort it out with the Newgrounds Staff. At this stage, we basically need to wait to see if there is any kind of official response. Sheiz, keep us in touch if you hear anything back from the person you contacted. We will also monitor the AddictingGame23 account to see if the account or Flash are deleted.
Great work!
-------------------
By the way, for those of you that are curious, our Relations Officers have completed the Barracks Roll Call. The results can be found in the EGB Forums (use my sig below to see). If you don't have an account, feel free to set one up and I'll activate you. We should be in good order for the August roster, which will be coming on or around the 1st as usual. Once we have our official post-Roll Call roster in place, I'm going to start the officer shakedown. As always, I have my ideas on who should get what role, but I want to give every Barracks member the option to voice their opinions. I'll be updating the official roster (on the new forums) tonight to reflect the officers that are going inactive so you get an idea of what's going on. I'll post a link later once it's ready.
Thank you for the Pm again EagleRock and I'm very happy about being Portal Violations Officer. I have seen the account AdditingGames23 ,but have not reported because of making sure its is legit or not. Well I brought Fallout 3 on Sunday first impressions were good, I liked the intro but found that the gameplay was to much like OBLIVION. I got past the tutorial and I found that I got bored when I began on The Wastelands. I guess if I was not keen on OBLIVION then its why I found the same trouble. Better graphics still it was good but It did not grab me.
Archer I'm a good shot!
Hi all. Again, I'm here to inform you all that I'm still alive. I see there's been more trouble with that AddictingGames23 account. Indeed, quite troublesome, that is. My apologies for not being around to catch anything. I've been sick lately. I just got back from the hospital. Anyway, I'll be out in the portal, trying to make up for my absence. :)
Gratz on the new game and whatnot, lassuk, even if it wasn't entirely what you expected. I personally love the series, though, that could be because I haven't played OBLIVION yet.
Cheers!
