It's practically to late, it already passed judgement.
Really i think half the voters don't even have a clue of what newgrounds is about.

Hello, and I'm sorry. Okay, now that those are off my back.. Um I just found out that i'll be staying at my brothers on the weekdays and at my moms on the weekend till I sign the papers for the Army in a week max. SO, if you guys would not mind me only being able to post on the weekends I would love to be reinstated.. I like to just talk, and seeing (no disrespect) how from when way back in the day it used to be chatty in this club, now I feel like it has been almost like a wild wild west town where there are a few people wondering around from time to time but not much goin on.. I would love to help change that. But only on the weekends as how my brother doesn't have Internet... That I can use :[.

And I say I am sorry because life was hectic when I asked to be reinstated a while ago, then didn't come on NG much.. that was because I was at my brothers most of this past year. And life is slowing down so that gives me much more time to be on this site... If you guys wouldn't mind I mean.

Jolly asked me to either PM or say something here.

Hello Lizzardis nice to see you on here! the redesign is almost here how it will look no idea five years since the last one. Mixed feelings about it I'm sure it will be good, but still have to wait and see till it is here. So some time next month hopefully, I wont lose my profile picture and news posts. I hope we still have a profile page like now.

The series is called "ni99a penguin", so it's plainly not suitable.

Speaking for other people, I see. What you consider entertaining and meaningful is different for someone else. Perhaps some people are content with a certain way to spend their lives? I know the prospect of forcing everyone to do what you believe is worthwhile would give you a major hard on, but give yourself a reality check.

Whether it's reading books, fixing up cars, working out, going out and about. Something other than just sitting mindlessly for hours on end in front of a computer or tv fiddling your thumbs.

So, who's to say the other 12 hours aren't spent on things such as these?

You learn no useful skills and it's unhealthy for your brain and body.

Why are you implying one can't both have useful skills and play games often? How much more of a nanny can you sound right about now?

I do my sitting in front of a computer at work, that's plenty for me. At least I get paid for it.

So it would be ok so long as people got paid for spending loads of time at a computer or tv? I mean, it may be unhealthy for the brain and body, but who needs that when you've got money?

Thanks for the Barracks Roster Jolly did not realize it was that time already. I see I'm still the same rank I have not gotten much b/p this last month, nothing different there. This month is when the redesign happens at last ! Not that I want a new look but I guess it may be cool to have a new look. On Skyrim deciding to use maybe the Bretons not sure yet.

That's once around the clock. The counter only supports five digits, so I'm reduced to the bottom of the pack again. Hmm... perhaps we should put me down there and see how fast I can catch some of the lower ranked members, to lap them :P

Thanks for the roster update, Jolly.

Next month may be odd - with the pending updates to Newgrounds I may have to do some interesting work to make the "old" stats mesh with "new" stats - especially if new ranks or levels are added, or if the underlying HTML is altered. I'm gearing up to do the analysis and code changes as soon as the revisions are made public (unless I can get some preliminary info from Coop...pretty please?!?!?!?!...about the user stat pages and how the forum threads are presented...hmmmm)

Oops! The website shows the correct value - the export function lopped it at 5 digits. Guess I'll have to make it 6 - that will be changed for the next roster. So, how's it feel being in the elite 6-digit club?

I'm glad to see new members joining - remember that we still have two pending member votes (BrokenDeck and fa2mann) that need to be finalized sooner than later, so if you haven't voted yet, please do so.

Thanks again, Jolly, for the roster - see you all at the front!

It is true that an idiot is happy with what he knows.

So, who's to say the other 12 hours aren't spent on things such as these?

Hmm I don't know. 24 hours - 12 hours of computer time = 12 hours of free time.

I guess if you don't sleep or work you could spend 12 hours on meaningful things. Good point.

Why are you implying one can't both have useful skills and play games often? How much more of a nanny can you sound right about now?

Good hand eye coordination and problem solving skills?

A nanny?

So it would be ok so long as people got paid for spending loads of time at a computer or tv? I mean, it may be unhealthy for the brain and body, but who needs that when you've got money?

So, you are admitting it's unhealthy for the brain and body? That's the first time you've made sense in your post.

If you spend 3-4 hours a day doing things that are healthy for your mind and body then it will offset the time you spend working at a desk in front of a computer. It's that simple.

Listen to you dictate what is productive and what's meaningless. Last time I checked, no one is in any position to tell anyone else what's meaningful to them.

It's my opinion. Feel free to take it how you want it. If you can't discern an opinion and decide not to follow it, that's not my issue.

It actually is very silly, trying to claim what everyone else but you SHOULD be doing.

I don't think I'm following you. I said everyone including myself should be doing things that are more productive and meaningful than just mindlessly playing video games or watching tv for 12 hours a day. you seem to draw conclusions out of thin air.

I think you misunderstand what our group stands for. We are not a club that helps others to get the best whistle and highest rank, we are here to help keeping the site clean from rulebreaking stuff. Feel free to check this thread regularly for abusive submissions or report ones that you find here. Anyways, if you want to get a better whistle, then you should look out for abusive reviews under the most recent submitted flashes and the flashes on the frontpage. But be sure that the reviews you flag are really abusive. When you are unsure, then better don't flag it.

This flash states in the discribtion that it is by the makers of the iPhone app called iGun. I don't think looking at the users page he could have made such a thing. I don't really have the time to find out at the moment so if somebody else wants to go for it. I'm just bringing it up.

There seems to be some issues with the redesign, such as parts not updating and I think somethings, such as the project system, might be overly complicated. There are a lot of good things but the FAQ is also lacking at the moment, no list of levels like there used to be and the B/P rank images are bugged, lol.

Anyway, there are plenty of neat things and keeping a Classic Portal is also good, but I wonder how much it will work with processing Under Judgement submissions, time will tell there. The Project system has a lot of nice things about it and allows for greater sharing over Newgrounds and someone who is given a Manager position can respond to reviews, this makes crew accounts more useful for submitting crew flash for the leaders to respond to without logging into the crew account all the time.

It'll take a lot of getting used to and forums now have avatars as well as levels, auras are odd and so forth, it's a huge leap, bigger than I expected.

Well Hello there, new design...

Just stopping by to check out what changes are going on. Seems like stat whoring still isn't rewarded enough, so it's difficult for me to wish to continue B/Ping after so very long. Still, nice work everyone, keep it up.

The redesign is odd at the moment the site was like down for two days I think. I see no more TOTW shame the layout is kinda confusing, I like the look its different then the old one. Been waiting for the site to come back the new level icons look kinda odd not to sure yet I will need to give it time. Cant say I hate it though. Its colorful but I dislike not having the five a day message when you vote why remove that feature?! Still its nice to have the site back!

Well, that was a fun trip. After waiting about 36 hours, I finally managed to see daylight - and then the site kept going up and down like a drunk with a yo-yo. The new layout is nicer - especially with all these huge icons for us old, blind users. The stat page, although cute, is missing some data, like sign-up date and experience per day and response counts to all the reviews in the 4 categories (art, audio, movie and game). It would be nice to see all of that info on one page again.

I am now trying to re-tool my stat programs, but testing has been rough with the server bouncing up and down. If things settle down, I'll have my coding changes done in a day or so (NG Logs, EGB and NGPD stat scanner and revised INI settings for the PC-based stat tool used by Bahamut, Coop, Auz and a few others).

I also noticed that the additional voting power (based on your experience level) may not be active anymore. I was happy with that 60% boost - wonder if it's just a display oversight, or if it was removed on purpose.

And, IMHO - the new level icons are crap. Not nearly as nice as the previous ones. These look really rough and unpolished. Maybe they'll clean them up a bit? Funny, everywhere else you look the icons got bigger and nicer - but these went the other way.

Well, let me get back to work. Good to see so many old members pop in to say hello...maybe they'll stay a while now?

See you at the front lines!

The redesign is pretty nice, some things will hopefully be ironed out in the days or weeks to come, but it's still the Newgrounds I love.

I will be much more active here and in the portal(for real this time) due to all of my college classes being on only two days a week this semester.
