No it's not a spam bot account. It's just some stupid user not reading the rules and posting rather terrible (and maybe rule-breaking) posts.

And I know it's not a spam bot account, since one of my friends has 2 spam bots in his arsenal, and you can't code them to leave random messages in random threads. Yes you can code them to randomize the http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/post/reply /topicID URL with some random topic IDs and posting spam/random words, but not coherent sentences like that (and even with that it may freeze if it comes across a locked thread).

Usually a spam bot repeats the same shit over and over again in chain reviews/news post comments in masses, but not different stuff in each comment it spams. And looking at that post history, it stays SOMEWHAT in topic, though it's not exactly contributing.

So TL;DR it's not a spam bot account, but rather a clueless newbie user.

Well sorry for my little absence. But have been working and just have had some shit going on really. So how is everybody? And thanks to EagleRock for allowing me to join back up here and become a member once again.

Guys, I'm back, after going to an amusement park, and passing 3 days out... I'm back to my PC.

So, what are the news?? something good, something bad??

Sorry for being inactive, and I'll be even more this and next week, because I have a whole week of tests, and I HAVE to study... Sorry guuuys, I promise I'll be active enough when the week is over...

:3

I would like to be removed from the roster... its a tough call, but i don't have the desire to be active on the forums anymore. I can't defend the portal like i once did, spending 2-4 hours a day on here voting on incoming submissons it's just not fun as it once was. I wish i had the urge to post, to vote and to read the forums for hours on end, but it can no longer be. I've grown out of this part of my life, if the time comes and i do start to post again...i hope i'm welcomed back with familar faces. Just being inactive for meny months now i allread feel like i'm out of the loop and don't know memebers who are comming in.

I said i would never leave until i reached my goal of EGSC and level 60. Thoes will not be put aside.

We all can respect and understand where you're coming from - everything has a start, and everything has an end. We will certainly miss you, and hope that you do drop by once in a while to let us know how you're doing IRL. Of course, if you ever change your mind and decide to become active again, I know you'll be greeted with open arms.

I wish you well, and hope that everything goes good for you outside of Newgrounds. Take care of yourself, and know that you leave honorably and respected by all.

*Salutes*

Note to Lizz: please update the roster accordingly. Thanks!

If they don't have a half a brain, its the same thing IMHO.

Well, I can't say it makes me happy to hear this, but as always, I respect anyone's decision to leave due to that thing called "real life." Newgrounds is the kind of place you just can't be around FOREVER. I can surely be the poster-child for that, with my multi-year inactivity periods. :-)

So, I (and I am sure the rest of the Barracks) respect your decision and wish you the best of luck. And, as always, if you wish to return, there will always be a place for you here!

If it's a problem with posts, contact a BBS moderator - it's not something that the barracks can really deal with as a whole.

Sorry to see you go, man.

Good bye Shawn, I hope you have a great life, dude, we all want you OK, and we know we can't use Newgrounds forever, we'll have a life, and we'll need to write the last Barracks post, saying goodbye to our fellas.

Good bye, dude, I'm pretty sure we'll miss you...

Well finally able to get back around here after the week of working and stuff. But finalyl got a new sig and all that and just put it up for all to see.. But sorry to see another one leave the ranks here but you will be missed. And to Cobra congrats on your promotion!

Happy Madness day!

Since I can't sleep I am patrolling the portal and making sure nothing is amiss. Since there is such a high volume of submissions I am glad to be on duty.

I'm liking Madness day I have seen some good submissions so far. Sad thought that Clock Day this year was not mentioned on news page but Madness day is. Silly question but is September 22nd the day Krinkles submitted his first Madness flash? I'm not to sure about how Madness began. Watching Madness is cool you get to see guys beating the crap out of each other. Sad to see Idiot-Buster go.

Okay I know I was incactive for a while (school and travel) and I have not been on the roster for quite some time, how do I get back on it?

That was a pretty decent Madness Day - I got almost as many point as I did last Clock Day.

Still, has anyone got some flash movies, games, art and lit that they found that is worthy of sharing?

Since you seem to still be in good standing here in the EGB, I think a simple PM to EagleRock requesting that you be reactivated is all that it will take. Glad to see you're alive and well and active in the Portal again - welcome back!

Madness day was great! There was a game by Tom and MindChamber, a short movie by Krinkels, and as usual, lots of fan-made flashes! There was also some kick-ass art, like the one you see at sides of the page, and I also loved The Little Box of Madness. I have yet to listen to Madness music and read any literature, but I'm planning to do that today and tomorrow.

Despite my relative inactivity yesterday, it looks like I got a decent amount of B/P, because as of today I'm the third top gainer during this month so far, I'm 79 points ahead of Sir-Nuts, who is 5th. That's great because I won't be too active during the following days (I've got other, more important activities which I'll tell you about later if everything goes well!)

Let's see what gems we have this year for Madness!

***Note, if some submissions are from years past, it's because they are in a series!***

That's all I got. And Ismael, you might not want to link them in the text. That's the wimpy way to do it. :P This is the awesome way to link Flash. :P

I know about the rich content linking, but when I'm talking about several things like I just did using that feature looks bad because I have to end a paragraph each time I want to link to something. So, instead of using the rich content linking, I just use the good ol' text links so I can mention different submissions in the same sentence. Besides, rich content linking is not available for art (which I also talked about), so if I had used it the art submissions would have looked much less important.

It seems that this has gotten through, which is a massive shame. I was in a rush at the time, and was trying to get through to playing and voting all six or seven in the UJ section, but for the two minutes or so spent ingame I definitely had a feeling it was stolen - I just had no time to investigate further.

Thanks for the concern everyone! I do intend to return on day, but i don't see my being active on the forums on any level for a few years. Only time will tell.

I looked at it and I agree it looks sketchy. Especially the fact that none of it is in english. In my experiance a lot of flash that is stolen is in another language.

I assmume all the n00bs saw boobies and voted 5.

lol, I didn't realize yesterday was Madness Day, I just entered NG at 7PM, but I had time to get 15 saves... :3

So, I think that there were a LOT of good flashes in the Portal, and a lot of good art too, special dates alway have good art... :D
