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!

Well, I can't say otherwise. I will say that Pride is doing a good job at hunting similar flashes as well so you can expect NG to be a much tidier place when the redesign comes.
Has your tank arrived yet?
I'm afraid not. I was tempted to ask Tom about the status of the tank the other day but I'll give it another week or two. He did ask me about what name I wanted on the tank so I assume they need a bit of time to sort out the plaque. I am tempted to ask him when I expect it to arrive, though since it'll get me prepared for the postman to deliver it.

Heh, I've been here all this time. Maybe not in the EGB but I haven't left the BBS since.... ever. I started posting here in late 2004 and I'm still around. :)

nyan nyan nyan.
Nah, there's nothing really we can do except vote fairly and hope for the best. Personally, I gave those LL-Nyan flashes 0's, mainly because I don't see the entertainment value in spam (at least the ones I viewed looked like spam). One can only wonder how this year's Clock Day will turn out : /
I absolutely dread Clock Day.
The Lock Legion is pulling the oldest trick in the book with those spam flashes. Mass voting and all that stuff the CC used to do.
I actually found a few Clock flashes last CD that I actually enjoyed, so I reviewed them. However, I expect the spam to be DREADFUL, as in, total shit reaching scores of 3.65.
I might only show up only to deposit.
And yet another chocobreak submission..
Everyone knows what to do with this, it´s another chocobreak.
This is a little strange.
Its just pictures of that Habbo Hotel website and the description is just his account URL.
, the description is English, and the account's email is Bulgarian.
Figure that one out if you can.
Stolen Flash Alert:
According to this, the only other submission was in 2007 for this account. That's strange.

'Warning! You are viewing this content from an unapproved site.' The only way to play the game is to right click and click play.
lawl. That's a notable exception to the 'links only' rule, I believe. The game is built with a protection against stealing.

Unfortunately, this stolen Flash passed judgment as well.

I swear, this has got to be at least the third or fourth alt account this guy has made in order to pass stolen/blammed submissions. I doubt he'll stop until he gets some sort of IP adress ban or something : /
On a sidenote, I may not be to active this month due to RL shenanigans lol.
Author confession:
The artwork & story come from
. The songs are Kajun KKK by Johnny Rebel, White Rider by Skrewdriver, and Stand Up & Be Counted by Johnny Rebel. I just simply put it all together into an .swf file.
Talking of Clock Crew day only 8 weeks counting the day, but I hope it will be celebrated more. It is the ten anniversary of the Clock Crew and last years not even a news post. LL did post a few spam flashes not much though. A user the other day stole some flashes one got on the top five, I reported the flash and its gone now. Still have to be very careful about flashes http://qualityx.newgrounds.com/
The user has no more flashes.
Archer I'm a good shot!
Another one of these chocobreak clones? Will they ever learn?
I have a question. Is there a standard agreement on which original for Chocobreak is to be cited when reporting this kind of stuff? While the games are essentially the same, there's some variance between submissions - namely the arrangement of the blocks and audio. Or could we cite any chocobreak game that's hosted outside of NG?
Happily ETS'd.

The original chocobreak that should be cited, in the case of a theft,
would be this one
I would cite this one because it is the earliest chocobreak produced, and it was made by "
" (which is the group responsible for creating GamesFactory 2). The main goal right now is to get users to start submitting chocobreak tutorials to the dumpgrounds, as there already is an excess of this flash (and a lot of the submitted chocobreaks have been simply ripped from the original tutorial).
Hey, Lizz...
I am so sorry to hear that you need to retire from the position of Roster manager. I know things have been hectic for you IRL, which of course takes priority over these on-line diversions we all are party to.
I made the roster manager tool so it would be easy for you to keep things in order - that's what I do for a living: automation. True, I could teach anyone how to use it - but it was designed with you in mind. Looks like someone else may get to play with it soon... :'(
In the meantime, I will temporarily keep the roster updated until the Command staff decides on what should be done, and who'll do it.
One last thing: are you requesting a leave of absence from the EGB at this time, or just your roster duties?
I wish nothing but the best for you, and you know if you ever want to chat, you can reach me anytime.
Until then, keep your head held high - and keep fighting the good fight!

Good evening to the Barracks!
Well hello there Lizz!
In fact, I have come with some bad news as I bring you this roster. I was wondering whether I could retire from my position as the roster manager. It seems my life is a tad more hectic than it usually is and I have things going on which require my attention all the time. Whilst the roster, I'll admit does not take long, it's having the time, being at home or having an Internet connection to actually do it.
Hey we've all been there. I'd like to be the first to extend my services as roster manager. I have experience doing rosters before (i.e. the Top Medal Points User list) and wouldn't mind taking some time to do a roster every month, especially considering the small size of it.
I've done the roster for god knows how long, and I think that this retire of position will also lead to my retire from NG too. For some time.
Bummer dude.

Well, one of the only three members with a B grade for the month! Sweet! 188 b/p points isn't too shabby for me. I had a few days with like 30+ I think. Just have to find the time. Hopefully I can pass Andrea before Pride takes me over in points. At his pace though, I doubt it will happen.
Thanks for the roster! Let me know if you decide I'm the future man for the job!

Well, I've looked around and I haven't found any evidence suggesting that this is indeed a theft. The Pony flash looks rather amateurish, I personally believe that this is indeed the original author (though his story is suspicious).
Also this http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/57 1354
I believe this is legitimate as well. If you look on the Alabara's Facebook page (which is the advertising company that originally made this) they provide a link to the submission on Youtube (where it was submitted by Proflashman; both flashman2006 and Proflashman are Arabic, so this is probably legit).
Also, Good Luck Lizz! Won't be the same without ya' bro ; )

Thanks for the update, Lizz. A shame it's purported to be your last, as we'll miss you.
Looks like I'm close on 92k and that makes me just that little bit closer to the magical sixth figure.
Top 5 Gainers::
byteslinger - 1,816 (15.55% of total)
Jolly - 1,629 (13.95% of total)
Tycrane - 1,365 (11.69% of total)
Coop - 1,316 (11.27% of total)
Still clinging to life int he top 5, so that's good.
Top gainers, repeat appearances::
byteslinger (29)
Coop (28)
28 months in a row, so not all bad news here. I wonder how much longer I can keep this up...
Lizz, so sorry to hear that real life commitments are forcing you to make this decision, but I accept it nonetheless. I do hope that things pick themselves up, and sometime in the future you'll return from your leave of absence, and pending discussion with your successor, may or may not be reinstated as Records Officer, as you have done an exemplary job since you took over from Ismael92. Look forward to seeing you soon buddy.
For now, Byte has volunteered to take over for the time being, however I would hope to induct a new Records Officer as soon as possible. With this in mind, anyone who would like to volunteer for the position, please PM me. Thanks to the fantastic work Byte has put in, it's a somewhat easier job than it once was, however some training is required (though I'm sure if you ask nicely, and swear your undying allegiance to her, Byte will be glad to assist :P). It's an important role, and you'll have the gratitude of the entire Barracks for undertaking it. My only request is that you only put your name forward if you feel you are in a position, at least in the short term, to be reasonably active in the Barracks and thus have the time to fulfill the duties required of you. Nobody will freak out if the roster is a day or two late, but we do not want a scenario where our Records Officer is AWOL for weeks at a time.
I will deliberate with other Barracks Officers once I receive volunteer PMs, and hopefully in a week or two we'll decide who should replace Lizz. If you do volunteer and don't get the job, please don't be disheartened. We at the Barracks are the best of the best, frankly every active member of the Barracks is easily capable of doing this job. Besides which, I anticipate it will be a very tough decision; it's like choosing your favourite child to an extent.
To sum up, I want to thank Lizzardis for all his hard work as the Records Officer, wish him luck for the future, and I eagerly await applicants for his vacated position.
*salutes*
I doubt I'd make a good roster officer. Partly because I can't guarantee my continued existence on Newgronds for much longer either, but mostly because I'm a lazy shit who'd forget to post rosters constantly.
As much fun as it would be to watch Coop throw a statwhore tantrum every month, that's not the point of a roster officer. At all.
...Oh yeah: I might be leaving in the next 2 weeks or so too. It's not as certain as Lizz seems to be (....*sniff*... D'X ), but I can't really say I won't be leaving either.

I'm happy with getting two ranks of B. Shows that I did something but could still be a little more active around here. After all there are a few submissions still getting through the cracks that shouldn't be.

Wow, that would be strange. You've always been the roster manager for me here and in the NGPD. But I understand that it's your choice, just saying that it would be sad it you went.

Bit late but I'm sorry do see you wont be doing the Roster anymore, but thank you for the all the time you put into it each month. You seemed to enjoy putting together the lists each month hope you will be active again sometime in the future. Anyway my b/p not changed at all this month. Seems the stealing of flashes is going on shameful it is.
