Yea no worries if I had cared about deposits all these years I would be level 54 and wouldn't have a deposit rate of 25% lol.

I'd be level 50. Haha. I've never been a huge depositer though. It's always been the BBS that keeps me coming back here. But while we're on the subject, it appears it's only gonna be a couple more weeks til I pass you up Spiffy.... And I miss you too bitch. I saw your post where you called me a fuckhead like a month ago the last time I was on. Haha.

Yea you're getting pretty close only 25 deposits missed to go. Keep it up lol. Now that I know there can be more than one level 60 user I have my eyes set on depositing for the next seven years lol.

I'm amazed I actually managed a dozen b/p points this week maybe I'll try to pass you in those while you pass me in missed deposits. Meanwhile I will own most of you in sign up date forever ha ha ha

I missed a lot of deposits I'm number 108 with 977 missed ones you can see, I would have had 24,250 and be level 47. I also getting into doing reviews only 1 this month for the latest TOTW a genuine entry I think not a mass voted one. I have about over 180 or so till my next badge. Hello SlashFirestorm nice to see you on here again.

I can pretty much say that my activity in the Portal has been rather deplorable these last 2 weeks as I've gotten more hours at the BBQ joint now that I've started to cook some.

That and a game I like has been up and running after a long, long hiatus.

I haven't even gained a single B/P point, despite quietly promising to myself that throughout this month I'd get at least 200 points per week. I'm a little short of my target, to say the least. Real life's been pretty hectic, and on the time I'm on Newgrounds I'm simply lurking the forums, rather than posting on them or going on the portal. Next month I'll try to put a bit more time in, hopefully by that time I'll have sorted a few of the things that've been hanging over me out, and get my arse in gear in the portal.

Anyone know what happened to this week's underdog? I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Hey dudes!! What's up?? Everything's fine to you??

I'm soooo happy because it's Sunday and I won't have class Monday and Tuesday... Ohh, so fucking good being at the bed until noon in a Monday... Awesome!!!

Also, finished downloading Medal of Honor Allied Assault, and I'm almost finishing it...

Speaking in games, I played L4D today, and I wanna have it in my PC, too bad it doesn't run it in my little netbook... :'(

Well, shit in my sandwich. I'm not at the bottom of the list anymore?

Kickass. How long will this last?

I wonder if I'll be in the next update or not since I joined in between them...

Hmm, either way. I was posting stolen and malicious content links in the NGPD because apparently I'm retarded. Just sounded appropriate I guess, being the 'police department'. I just now took the time to read what it was and facepalmed. Guess I should probably just post those in here in the future, lol.

Not for the fact that you think you're a retard for posting links in the NGPD, but because you think that that whole club is a joke and you're practically mocking them. Well, that's how it sounded to me.

I'm entitled to my own opinion. They called me ignorant, lazy, and silly, and you've called me an idiot. To be honest, I think you're all a little immature, and I haven't said anything out of line at ANY point, and I certainly haven't insulted users who've been on this website longer than myself :/

The NGPD is on the same level as the EGB. We work together in order to create a better portal for all, and I would hope that if you come across a malicious, abusive or stolen flash, you would report it in BOTH clubs as to spread the word around.

Look, If I find something malicious or stolen, I just wanted to share it with others on the BBS. This really shouldn't be that complicated.

Hi guys, I'm back! :D

Hey, I'm sure that Lizz was kidding and didn't want to offend anyone when he called you an idiot. We are all a bit immature (if we weren't, this place would be very boring) so we sometimes say certain things like that in a joking manner that can be misinterpreted by anyone who reads it. The thing is that sarcasm and irony, for example, can be difficult to see on the internet because sometimes we write things that are supposed to be read in a certain way but the person who reads it has no way to know that.

Of course you are entitled to your own opinion, and that's why you should speak up if you ever feel offended by the things we say. If you don't like the way we (or anyone else) treat you, just say so and we'll stop behaving like that.

It's not that complicated. If you see a flash that breaks the rules, we'd really appreciate it if you could post it here so we can flag it too. That's what this club is here for. You could also post it in the NGPD, though some people are against doing that because it just increases your post count (even though we really know that you only want to help, and we're thankful for that).

Now let's all forget about what just happened and continue having fun, OK? I'm sure that Byte has some tasty cookies for all of us :D

It's just when I call myself an idiot joking, that's one thing. When someone throws it back in my face with no indication that it's a joke, it's a whole different story, I mean especially if I don't even know them. I hate arguing and fighting and really don't want to :( I just felt the need to defend myself, that's all.

That's what I realized when I made that post. I thought the NGPD was soley for stolen and malicious content, then I read the first pages of both these huge threads and facepalmed when I realized the connection between the NGPD and EGB that I didn't notice before. I know, stupid, please don't rub it in my face, lol.

It's OK. I know that I would have probably made the same thing if I had felt offended ;)

Hehe, this club was created a very long time ago and it was very different back then. Now it's much more serious (if it still was as it was back then, it would get locked). The main purpose of both threads is to fight abuse, but that's not the only thing we do. We also love having fun ;)

Now, now, now - you boys better start to play nice together, or so help me I'll turn this forum right around and go back home - and then you'll have to deal with EagleRock.

Seriously, let's all calm down a bit. We do generally have some HARMLESS name calling and other trivial abuse on this forum. I should know - I'm usually the one causing the trouble. But if our sense of humor truly offends someone else, then please realize it was unintentional. SeeD and Lizz, you're both good guys, and you're both entitled to your opinions. But you both need to stop taking things too seriously. Life's too short to be spent being pissed off.

While it is admirable to defend the EGB and the NGPD, as we should, we need to be a bit mature when handling negative criticism - especially from our own members. Likewise, as members of the EGB, if we have something negative to say, it should be done in a non-accusatory manner.

We don't need personal pissing matches on this forum - it will only bring more negative attention, and possibly the (God forbid) attention of Forum mods, who'll start getting involved and making life more miserable. Nobody wants that.

So, let's all agree to let it go, with apologies all around. If you two want to discuss it further personally, I strongly recommend PMs - let's keep our private issues private, OK?

Now, I know what you all need:

*Passes out plates of chocolate chip cookies and cold glasses of milk*

There, feel better now?

Oh, and a big thanks to Ismael, for helping to keep the peace - listen to him, he's a smart guy!

*Salutes*

Yeah I have been gone for alittle bit, but that is mainly due to the fact that im trying to get my own place and trying to get all that shit sorted out. But anyway dropping by to say hi and seeing all is well and hopefully will be able to reach the computer more often.

You just know how to get to my soft spot byte, with your cookies and milk.

In all seriousness though, like everyone says there is no need for in-house bickering, I realize not all of you are adults, but as a member of this club you are expected to at least act with a certain amount of maturity that would be common to someone say, my age. I think I could be a good reference of age at least. 23 is usually when people reach a reasonable amount of maturity (and I don't care what you say when you're 16 you're not mature even if you think you are mature for your age you don't know jack s**t).

Love and Peace (even though I make war)

Good question I don't know why last weeks Underdog was deleted ,I can't remember what it was about but maybe the author removed it for some reason. This weeks Underdog I have not seen yet. I prefer to look at TOTW because it can be funny. Likes this weeks is fake hentai in the title but no porn in it. I noticed that Newgrounds Department Of Defense is active again. I like funny spam flashes because of some of the reviews that go with it.

What is Newgrounds Department of Defense? I have heard of NGPD before. What do they do?

Wondering if I might apply to the EGB. I am a private, have a bronze whistle, and am freshly graduated from the NGPD a few days ago. If there's anything else you need me to do/be before my application can be realized, please let me know. Thanks, *Salutes*.

Hello, Private! I am Supreme Commander ByteSlinger, the Recruitment Officer for the Elite Guards. I have reviewed your profile, and I am glad to report that you are indeed qualified to request permission to join the Elite Guard. However, there are a few things you'll need to read and understand before you join, but don't worry - I'll be guiding you through the recruitment process. Here's how it works:

First, I will present you with the shortened code of conduct for the Barracks, along with links to the relevant FAQ's on our forums. You must read them, understand them, and post here again confirming that you accept those principles. A simple "yes, I agree" will be sufficient. This process serves two purposes:

1) Ensuring that you're not a "drive-by applicant" who asks to join and then never comes back, and

2) Ensuring that you know how we operate so there won't be any complications in the future, such as "wait, we're not supposed to be mass voting?".

After you agree to the code of conduct, the Barracks community will discuss your qualifications and decide whether to allow you into the group. Our requirements aren't too strict; beyond the main qualifications of 2500+ B/P and a Bronze Whistle or better, we'll be looking for sufficient post quality (low number of one-liners, intelligent posts that contribute to the topic), helpful reviews, any potentially problematic flashes, stuff like that. After discussion and a vote, we'll make the final call and PM you with the results. Assuming that no objections are raised, the process usually takes a day or two.

Here is our abbreviated Code of Conduct. Read it, learn it, and post again with confirmation of your understanding. If you can't abide by these principles, say so.

*****

1. Voting fairly.

This is the foundation of the Elite Guard Barracks. All members are expected to give every flash a fair vote, regardless of who made it or what their group affiliations are. We do not target any flash group, not favorably or in opposition; our only enemies are those who break the rules of the site, not those who merely bend them.

Everyone has a different definition of quality, and all members are expected to vote based on what they honestly feel a flash deserves, not on whether they think the flash will pass or be blammed. While Barracks members are proud of their high ranks, and are eager to compete with others, a high B/P score means nothing if achieved through petty point-whore voting, and any member who admits to doing so will be removed from the organization.

2. Stopping Portal abuse.

Numerous stolen, malicious, and unsuitable flash are submitted to the Flash Portal every day, and it is our job to ensure that as many of them are removed as possible. Members are expected to report any suspicious flash to the Barracks, including any evidence or doubts that they might have, and only whistle something if they are sure, beyond a reasonable doubt, that it is whistle-worthy.

Just as with B/P, points mean nothing if achieved through inappropriate means. There should be no blind rush to whistle a flash that is merely suspected of wrongdoing; it's better to let an uncertain case go by rather than wrongly whistle an innocent submission. If evidence of wrongdoing is discovered after a flash passes judgment, we can always (and will always) inform Wade of our findings.

In the case of a beyond-reasonable-doubt rulebreaking flash, members are encouraged to share their results with the Newgrounds Police Department and the Newgrounds Department of Defense.

3. Cleaning up the review system.

Members are expected to be familiar with the review guidelines and whistle abusive reviews when they come across them, and report severe cases of abuse to a review mod. Additionally, members are expected to write helpful reviews, offering constructive criticism and remaining civil even when the author refuses to do so. We must set a good example for other Newgrounders, in hopes that they will improve their own reviews as well.

4. Setting an example for others to follow.

Barracks members are expected to post intelligently, contributing to threads rather than merely dropping a one-liner opinion on it. Flaming, spamming, and other ban-worthy behavior is strictly prohibited, and extreme misbehavior will lead to removal from the EGB.

Members are also expected to act civilly towards all Newgrounders. You are expected to be helpful and patient when dealing with newer members, whether simply showing them the FAQ or explaining more complex concepts that they do not understand. Concepts such as fair voting, intelligent posting/reviewing, and keeping an open mind are essential for newer members to learn, and we are just the ones to teach them.

For those with more experience, you are expected to show respect and understand that they may, in fact, know more about Newgrounds than you do, even if you're a seasoned veteran. This applies both to fellow Barracks members and Newgrounders in the general population.

Members are expected to put reasonable effort into any flash or audio submissions, and be careful with who they become Portal Buddies with. We are quite generous with our definition of reasonable effort; examples of unacceptable submissions would be static images, single frames, ridiculously small loops, or purposefully bad music. Anyone submitting rulebreaking content would, obviously, be removed from the Barracks and reported to Wade.

5. Not starting shit.

As mentioned above, the Barracks has no enemies beyond those who break the rules of the site. Our roster has included current and former members of various flash groups, including the Clock Crew, Barney Bunch, and Kitty Krew, and we are open to anyone willing to follow our principles. Barracks members are expected to be civil to others and not start fights, and anyone found to be starting shit with anyone, even if they deserve it, will be removed. You are representing the Barracks with your actions, and if your actions do not reflect our principles, you will not be a part of the organization.

6. Remaining active with the group.

Barracks members are expected to remain reasonably active in the thread, as well as with their duties. Those who are inactive for long periods (months) may be removed from the roster at any time, and rollcalls are occasionally sent out to all members to determine who is active. Members who expect to be inactive for some time due to IRL reasons (such as school, employment, vacation, etc) should inform the Barracks in advance.

*****
In addition to the above, please examine the following materials.

The Barracks Manifesto
The Barracks FAQ

So, just let me know, and we'll get you started! And, please, for the love of GOD, do NOT quote this entire thing! :-)

Well good to see ya here Salad and good luck in getting approved to join up here. But anway got a new level today finally. But as for the recent inactivity just have been getting the shit kicked out of my by life and really just trying to get shit together.

Imagine the EGB, spread to all aspects of the website. It's for users who contribute to the website in various ways to come together. There's a BBS department for those that frequent the BBS and are model posters who try to help the mods in eliminating spam and other rule breaking things. There's a Portal department, which watches over various things having to do with the Flash Portal very much like the EGB and NGPD. Actually it's required to join either to be a member of the NGDD. Then there's a Flash department, for Flash artists who wish to help out other artists become better by suggesting tips, helping with collabs etc.

There's is also an Art and Audio departments, which serve the same sort of purpose the Flash department does for Flash.

Basically it's a group that consists of good users who have been around for a while and that can be role models for newer users.
