same ,,, i close my newgrounds tab for a few hours and suddenly i have 13 notifs (mostly coming from this thread) because of a user fighting
Continuing on the topic of our favourite bird, I checked his profile and noticed he'd just uploaded another game:
In the description, Birb claims to have been the owner/creator of the now-defunct shark-flash.com and claims to be its original creator, having submitted it under the name Mr-Shark back in 2007.
Part of me is saying Birb's bullshitting, and part of me says Birb's telling the truth. Its 1AM where I live, so if anyone else can investigate this, I'd be happy.
I need to get some sleep - I'll likely be back once this weird shit is over.

Everything matches up well, according to the archived user pages he was 18 in January 2008 which would make him 34 now - which is what Birb's age is listed as. His itch.io page is also titled krausunxp, which is pretty damn close to his second username mrkrahs. I personally think everything lines up.
I hope you don't take the bumblings of this group too personally, @Da-Birb. The entire purpose of this group is to keep the portal clean, and whether you agree or disagree, a submission created using entirely AI is against modern Newgrounds rules as AI grows more and more. Your most recent submission shouldn't be taken down, although it could possibly get blammed. I assume it'll pass though, things don't get blammed as much nowadays.
(Although if you would like some advice on it not getting blammed, I'd personally move away from the AI-generated thumbnail - not because I'm an AI hater or anything like that, but because I personally tend to vote higher on submissions that are honest about what they look like in the thumbnail.)
I regret nothing for starting all of this flipped bird business

Hate to burst your bubble but this isn't a hard argument that proves beyond a doubt that Birb IS Mr-Shark.
First of all, the easiest way to prove that it's him all along is by using Mr-Shark's contact info, but they're mostly dead as I'm looking at it at 2015. Second of all, while it might be true that they're both the same age, it doesn't mean it necessarily proves it's the same person. Coincidences happen and a birthday is just a birthday. If they were born in the same day and month, yeah, it's believable they're the same person. ...Or maybe they're not and they just happen to be born on the same day, whatever. Third, the usernames. That's just dumb. Sure, it has "kra" but those aren't really evidence of a geniune person. Could be a fan or not, who knows. Maybe there's more to prove either side, but these aren't good evidence or maybe I'm too skeptical about an old NG user turning towards AI as a good thing.

Burst my bubble all you want! I love bubble bursting, I just think it's more likely that someone who does have a genuine game on their profile (as simple as it is), and who has the same exact age and a similar name to an old username, is most likely telling the truth as opposed to just being a superfan of someone who had 88 fans near the end of their Newgrounds account. I could obviously be wrong, but the only information I have seems to lead one way more then the other - not claiming to be Sherlock Holmes here though!
But on that last part - I'm sorry to say, but that's not as uncommon as you think. I've met "old Newgrounds users" (I put that in quotes because I don't know what the cutoff is!) that got big on NFTs back when that was big. It happens.

It's not stolen, but there are a few other Guidelines that might be broken here:
You must have rights to the music in your game, or be using music that grants rights freely. Your favorite song from the radio can't be played here.
Uses the main music theme from New Super Mario Bros (DS)
Your game must not use Angry Birds or Super Mario Bros. characters/sprites. In general you shouldn't be using any sprites you don't have full rights to.
Uses a mix of sprites from other Mario games (ie. coins, background tiles, etc), including Yoshi's Island, Super Mario All-Stars.
It might've been fine in 2007, but these rules exist in 2024, this game was uploaded in 2024.

Reup of blammed. Might get blammed again, but whatever. Usually there's a 50/50 chance this will get taken down or blammed.
No animation. Consists majority of live-action footage.
No way he actually got banned

There's new music from the Audio Portal. Is that not an improvement, as per the Movie Guidelines?
Do not re-submit your entry after it has been BLAMMED without making noticeable improvements.

I flagged it before Piconjo swapped the music - the visuals are still derivative of placeboing's "Gay Frogs", but the new music's original enough for me to let it through.

Yeah, this is unfortunate. But only about half of the submission was a speed paint so hopefully it comes back soon.
To flag or not to flag? Literally one half of this submission is gameplay footage, and the other half is custom animation.

Its terrible, but not reportable. He's using the game play footage to lead into his parody which makes it fair use I supposed.
It's the age old half-empty vs. half-full dillemma all over again! xD
Is this an original animation with an overly long gameplay intro? Or is this a gameplay clip with an extented animated outro?

Well, the gameplay footage is around 8 seconds and the total time of the video is 17 seconds...
Close to an half-ish, but it's not a half unless you round it. Also this is more of proxy, do I look like a nerd? Don't got the time to just find this exact frame or just download it and check the frame count.
