HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!

Damn, beat me to it. I love that 404 site! Flagged.
"Hey, I'm going to submit a slideshow of art images instead of using that weird Art Portal thing that's a whole TWO BUTTONS AWAY from the Flash Portal button!"
I dearly hope this isn't going to become a new habit. There was a (passed! still not deleted!) slideshow that passed the other day and now another one on the Portal. The art is good (the one that passed the other day had EXCELLENT art, in fact), but there is an ART PORTAL. AN ART PORTAL
*screams "ART PORTAL' into paper bag until I pass out*
Also, dear Portal contributors: if you're going to disable the right-click menu in your flash---a wise step to prevent cheating in games---then please include a quality toggle option somewhere in your flash, particularly if you're going to be using high quality graphics. It's hard to give your submission the vote it deserves when it runs at 4 FPS on my computer and I can't do anything to speed it up.
Slash's call

"Boss battle music" has been one-upped.
As much as I like the game, this really is the lowest form of plagiarism (well, short of outright swf theft, but meh).

Oh hey it passed, what a surprise...
Are matters in the Portal getting worse exponentially? I ask because it seems that more and more poor flashes are surviving by the day.

Maybe the nameless save-whores are afraid of the next redesign taking away their ability to vote blindly for points, so are milking it for all it's worth while they know they still can. I dunno.

I've tried contacting you several times on AIM while you were online and never got a response. My name is always signed on, but you've never gotten back to me.
I even had to post in this thread requesting something deleted in the forums because you never responded to my request to take the thread down after more then a week.

Newgrounds is now being treated like youtube meaning anything that doesn't say blam it or isn't a certain size will get protected. It is sad especially for those of us who remember when the portal wasn't in such a shitty state as well as those of us who want to do the right thing.

Could be but I doubt it is for that. I think they just want the points.

If this happens and I see it for myself If I have time I will get back in the game full time. But until then I will still just flag abusive flash that is posted here.
On another note nice to see you back here again Eaglerock hope the family is treating you good.

Good point. But seriously, calm down, lol. Heart attacks won't let you B/P any faster. :-P

Actually, I don't think so. Take a look at a lot of these Flash which previously passed. They're all now obituaries. (hit Ctrl + F5 if you don't see them as obits yet). PMs after-the-fact are really helping. Even if the general populace isn't passing fair judgment on the Flash, they are getting their just desserts eventually. For those chasing B/P, this will eventually be a deterrent to mass-vote these things to protection.

A lot of times I'll leave AIM running and I'm not actually there. That's why it's good to send me a PM, too, either on the EGB Forums or on Newgrounds itself. Either way, I get e-mail notifications, so they won't get lost.
In your case, I did actually get your IM, but by the time I got it, you were signed off, and someone already took care of it. So, I didn't bother pursuing it anymore. But I did actually check on that forum thread you asked me to.

Honestly, with all the post-judgment work being done on these Flash, I highly doubt the NG Admins will not act against this. In the end, it will save them a boatload of time. Also, if we finally get something like Portal Mods, that'll generate the same effect while taking the load off the Admins and put them on volunteers that actually want to help.
On another note nice to see you back here again Eaglerock hope the family is treating you good.
Thanks. :-) I'm doing good. Life is busy, but I can't complain. Certain time-sinks of mine are idling down, so additional free time is coming back, slowly but surely. :-)

If we have to turn this into a Wade IM-fest (at least in the short run), it's better than nothing. The last 2-3 pages of complains I've seen on Flash have been addressed, and in quick order. I've been checking the thread every couple of hours, and every group of Flash posted here had eulogies by the time I returned. The job is getting done, folks.
As long as we keep noisy about this, it's going to keep this crap under control. Coop is doing a good job of that, for sure. Byte and her recruitment push is going to help in the long run as well. Don't underestimate the effect the work we're putting into this will have!

It's not just you, Cootie. I would say a good percentage of this is thanks to Coop. Between his new thread and his incessant IMs/PMs to Wade, Wade's been turning over the really bad Flash. if you scroll up and check the last page or so, you'll see a bunch of Flash that had previously passed are now blammed.
The man's doing some serious business, folks. This is gonna happen!

Fair enough. For future reference though my AIM name is signed on 24/7. Even when I'm not on the computer any messages go right to my cellphone and as long as I'm not teaching I'll probably get back instantly.

That would be an active save-whore. A passive save whore would 2 or 3 something they didn't actually like but know it will pass the portal anyway.

Wait... I give 2s and 3s to things that I don't personally like, but can see that the flash's quality, in-and-of-itself, is at least decent. I didn't actually like Charlie the Unicorn 3 when it came out, but I still gave it a 4 because what I like and how well a flash is made are two different things, and IMO, votes should be based on the latter. Is that wrong of me?
-STOLEN FLASH ALERT-
This game is obviously stolen.
Original one.
http://touchspin.com/Game_Danger_Diver.p hp
The original's quality is better, the author created his account today, and the original site's name is in the left bottom, the author tried to mask it, but it's obvious it's stolen... :|
...Or am I wrong?

Wait, WAIT!
Look at the name and e-mail address given on the original website's "credits" (resume) section. They match up to the username and e-mail for this account. I'd say that's actually legitimate, even though it looks stolen.
What is the point of submitting a "Test" to the flash portal? It just screams "BLAM ME!" when I see something titled "Ignore this test."
Kind of hard to ignore that. And the fact that they're almost always 3 second loops doesn't help their chances. NG needs to add a huge button for the file upload because apparently people can't find it.
Oh, and I think that one game with the AMAZING DIFFERENCES that Slash was posting about has been resubmitted again, imagine that.
A typical day.
Well I usually b/p based on the quality of the flash and how much I enjoyed along with a few other factors thrown in there. But as hard as it is to get blam points now days thats probably why I don't get a whole mess of points like I used to. But will continue on to hope to get my wings eventually. And hopefully the portal will not burst into flames and cease to be by that point lol.
When life gives you lemons, be glad it didn't give you herpes.
I vote based on how much I enjoyed the flash and I do vote 1 on flashes, I know some people see a vote of 1 as pointless but if that's what I think it deserved then that's what it gets, lol. I disregard quality in favour of enjoyment, I only factor in quality in my reviews.

As long as you feel the Flash actually deserves a 2 or a 3, that's fine. If you're voting 2 or 3 because you know it's going to pass, that's a different story altogether.

If you ask me, they need to hide the file upload button for upload for some people... :-P

Ehh. It happens. Just keep voting and see how the chips fall. And for the record, not all of the useless stuff is making it on the Portal. Judgment is getting passed on these Flash. Whether it's legitimate voting or Wade making things right, it'll happen.
These two are in the Portal at the moment, and on inspection, are pretty much the same as all the others save different Pokemon and pictures. On the same basis as the previous palette-swapping flashes and the crackdown on hentai galleries from the admins, should these be the next to be brought to attention?
I think it may be a good idea because he keeps on using the same music ,the song is copyrighted which may be illegal anyway! The author main account is called Vegata40 he seems to have stopped using that account which had loads of the same crappy intro. The series was called Alien Seduces Women the intro was good

No, just because something isn't your taste doesn't make it any less portal worthy, I was speaking of submissions that are overall poor but people tag along for the point with a 2 or 3 so they aren't fiving it in an effort to increase the score, but just tagging along.

Know what else is still around? My story. I just released the next chapter: Back in the Barracks Story - Chapter 10
Also, don't forget I have a comments thread for the story, located here.
Enjoy!
I would personally mark this as stolen as it has only used pictures off of the internet and internet videos. Nothing was made by this person besides a next/play button.

Not only does it have real people, but it also has a video the guy obviously didn't make.
The first video is taken from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-PFpd2eC l4
I think this can be flagged.
