I feel the same way. Most of the submissions I've seen on the portal recently I've given 0s because they were honestly pure crap and I've only gotten like 20 blams in the past week. Not that stats really matter, but it's indicative of how the quality standards for Newgrounds have changed.

Don't really like being negative but I am actually glad to see that I am by far not the only one seeing it like that. There have been some great submissions (like the 20th anniversary of Newgrounds one) but the amount of trash-tier stuff is just absolutely staggering lately. There are highs and lows in the average quality but this time frame right now takes the rotten cake, unfortunately. I share @gamejunkie 's viewpoint that we will get through it by doing what we do best - vote fair and report and take stuff out that breaks the rules.

No animation.

Well, it doesn't look like it breaks any rules, so I don't know why you reported it here.

Just because a submission is not in English doesn't mean that it breaks any rules. It's perfectly fine.

If you can find the same video that should be enough to prove it's stolen. The author acts like it's his and has one other submission with the same kind of animation style, so maybe it is his? Look at the other submission he has and see if you can find that one on another site.

Even if the submission is his, I have a feeling it will be blammed, so v0te appr0priately if you haven't already. But if it's not blammed and you can't find any proof that it might be stolen, it'll stay, sadly.

Barracks Roster as of December 1st, 2015:

Wow. It's December already. 2015 is just about over. It's been a strange year for a lot of us, and all I can do is hope that 2016 is better. IRL I've been in flux with my clients and my workflow, removing any notion of stability and long-term income. I am grateful that I still have a few short-term gigs in the pipeline; they should hold me up long enough to find another long-term gig. But, that's my problem...

As for here, I would like to recognize some of our esteemed members who work tirelessly to keep the portal clean : GameJunkie, DefTonesFan665, Asandir, Exedor and Jolly. You are all great examples of what the Barracks stands for, and I salute you all for your work, dedication and integrity.

*SALUTES*

Keep up the good work. You do us all proud!

As for all who read this: I wish you all a very happy, healthy and peaceful holiday season. Enjoy your Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Festivus or whatever you hold dear to your hearts; now is the time to mend those fences with your family and call up old friends. It's not what you get under the tree - it's who's around it with you that really matters. Take it from me...the older you get, the easier it is to lose touch. So, don't be like this old coder - go out there and really enjoy life!

(Okay, enough sentimentality for now. We now resume the EGB roster, already in progress:)

My apologies. It's not intentional - when I code, I tend to use CamelCase - make the first letter of a word uppercase for readability.

( For example, var iPrimaryErrorCount = (int) 0; )

It's almost automatic at this point in my coding life. When I type your user name, my mind sees Def ,tones,Fan and 665 as 4 separate words, which is then typed as DefTonesFan665 out of habit.

I will make every effort not to mistype it in the future. Sorry about the aggravation.
