Okay. But all I get is a blank screen after I click the "play" triangle. Clearly blammable - but whistle worthy? hmmm.....

I like the idea of a Blam now, but shouldn't we stop this moron, before they can get their act together and submit something that actually tells people how to pirate flash?

Looks like Coop already beat me to the punch. Oh well. At least he and I agree that the name alone is whistle worthy. A friend of mine told me that Adobe is starting to crack down even harder on people who pirate their products. Rightfully so too. That software is well over $1000. Which is annoying as I enjoy them quite a lot. >_>

Can't win 'em all.

Does anyone else see anything differently?

Yeah, all I'm seeing is a blank screen. :\

Oh well, I'll just blam it then.

While I am in no way supporting the concept of a tutorial to do something illegal (such as piracy), and of course we need to be proactive if someone is threatening true harm, all I get from this is a troll flash that has a provocative title and (literally) nothing else.

I mean, you could take ANY blank flash and label it something like "How to cheat on the lottery" or "How to steal diamonds without getting caught". To me, the title is empty and powerless if the flash is non existent.

I respectfully submit that a blank flash with any title is nothing more than troll bait - it should be blammed, but it's not abusive - just junk, IMHO.

Also of note is that the title can be changed at will by the author, and as a result could be re-written to something benign like "First test" when pulled. Ergo, flagging it based on a title alone is a bit irrational.

(Fun fact: This was the first thing I learned from the BBS. :P)

Everytime someone submits another "chocobreak test" game I react exactly like this guy.

Last time I heard though, I believe the admin team is considering creating a "Chocobreak Clause" (probably something along the lines of: telling people to stop submitting Chocobreak in general) on the official "Newgrounds Wikipedia Site." This clause may already have been created though, I'm not sure (one of the admins told me about it a week or so ago)....

Btw I got a username change. Feel free to call me Mike or BM still, it's all the same crap to me (epic pun) :P

There are comments from a few years ago that show that it worked when it was uploaded but it doesn't now. This flash must have been file swapped as it's only 0.3kb and doesn't do anything now except show a blank screen. Is this on grounds for being removed by an admin?

Now have a look at the flash and you'll see why. I did a quick sortie and found that there are similar errors on the other two flashes that this guy has submitted. If they have border issues, there might be a question over the flash's origin.

Your thoughts.

It does look fishy with the bad window size. But they are demos for larger games and the submitter is using a realore.com adress which is where you can find all of these games.

Seriously, this guy is so dumb. Stealing off a popular NG game that just got featured over a week ago claiming that it's his flash. I am thoroughly disappointed.

Oh god, that's at least on-par with the time someone tried to steal Miami Shark and Madness Interactive, if not even dumber. I really wish I hadn't been too late for this one. XD

I have seen dumber then that. A while back someone tried stealing a game that had a lock on it to prevent thieves from using it. But yeah that really has to be one of the more dumber thefts.

But on another note did anyone see the ng graveyard yesterday? I haven't seen anything like that in since ever. When I first saw it I was hoping that the Tom finally went ahead with that Mass blam thing, but when I looked I only saw that it was delete requests, and the removal of broken/removed flash movies.

Come on Tom do that again only this time have it with those cookie cutter games.

I can't wait until they go through all of those backlogged submissions that have been flagged. It's been almost a year since the last time they did that.

He may do it one day. He removed an entire account the other day because 1 of the submissions had a graphical glitch in it.

Yeah that would take some serious work to go through all those backed flagged submissions. But it 's something that shold be done alitle bit more often then a year or so at a time. But will see how that helps things.

I love the Newgrounds tank and anyone looking forward to Pico day 2011its april 30th right? So the portal will be filled with Pico day flashes I will get some b/p but not much, but I like Pico he a mascot for Newgrounds. Not may Pico flashes through yet for the collection page hopefully there will be more. I too saw that Vegat40 and his alt get his entire flashes removed about time too. The obituaries was full his flashes when I looked the other day.

I know that it doesn't really come under any category particularly well, but this piece is just Skeet Red (Awful), but submitted in a blue colour filter. He's done this before with various accounts and spaces them out, so that we don't notice.

*Sigh* It figures that someone would try and sneak a "chocolate break" submission in on Pico Day (this guy probably thinks that we won't be monitoring the portal because of the holiday).

Anyway, Happy "Pico Day" guys! So far most of the "Pico Day" submissions that have been released have been pretty funny/cool.
