Is it just my computer?

rexco loves submitting fake loading screens. funny thing is, it will probably pass. shows how stupid the majority of the NG users are :0

even once it gets to the end of the loading screen, nothing happens.

sorry to burst your bubble :(

No need to be sorry Hippo! I've seen this submit this before, and I realized that it was bad. I was checking if my comp. was slow or if this was malicious. But don't worry hippo, my bubble is still floating!

It sounded as if a decision had been made on the -Crux- issue, but I'd like to add my thoughts if that's okay. We've all been through some kind of tough times, and I know every one of us has made the mistake of taking out our frustrations on the wrong person at one point or another. We've said things we don't mean to family members and friends... and if we've been lucky, those people have been kind enough to forgive us.
If -Crux- cools down and returns with the proper attitude, please consider re-admitting him, even if only on a probationary status. It sounds like with he's got a lot on his plate right now, and what kind of club are we if we can't be there for member when he/she needs it most?

He's gone. For the best...

Ok I'll take him off the list.

Oh and did Ryan_Kajito join I don't recall him asking because he posted every once in a while but now he got his rank to private so did he join?

He asked to join, but I haven't seen him post here lately...so I don't know, lol.

Well I just add him to the list and if I don't see him post within the next week I'll take him off.

I'll be updating the list later on today.

I do have to agree with you here. I myself have said things to my family and friends that I either did not mean or just did not want to come out. There have been very few situations that were not resolved after the fact. Family and friends are typically there to help understand what is going on. They are there to listen and to speak when need be. It is just a very difficult situation. Especially to have somthing like that happen here.

I feel a lot of what happens in an outburst, like crux's, is usually somthing that has been built up over time. From the hostility and the direction crux's posts took, it was clear that is was not the result of a post or two by a fellow member. There appears, or at least to me, to be somthing that has been going on that has been getting to him. Crux has always been fairly easy going and laid back, I do not see him doing what he did just all of a sudden.

I of course am just as upset as some of you about what has happened. It was disrespectful, and left a very bad taste in the mouth of many barracks members. So do not think that I do not feel some anger for what has happend, or that I approve of his actions. I do believe in second chances though. We have all received them at one point or another and reaped the rewards attained by them.

I know I do not have a lot of say so in this matter or in much others here, I just wanted to say what I have been thinking. After seeing fret's post i decided to go ahead and come forward with it. I understand that the crux's fate may already be sealed. I respect any outcome that you all choose as I will always back the barracks. I just hope people stop to think. Thank you all for taking the time to read my thoughts. I do understand that some of you may not agree with me and I am fine with that. Long live the Barracks.

*Salutes

Like I've said before, if he comes back and is sorry, I got no problem with it. It is exceedingly difficult to make me mad enough to never let something go.

That is completly understandable. Like I said, I do think what he did was very disrespectful and do not think it was in any way needed. I do applaud the fact that you are able overlook what has happened and welcome him back if he returns with an apology. That says a lot about your character sir. It is clear why you are able to demand respect here.

Well I'm glad I spoke to Hippo right now. This week I've maintained my average... But the near future might not be that good to me, we will see.

Why am I slipping backwards in the B/P ranks? There's a thread on our forums that states only 5 or 6 blams/saves a day are needed to stay in the top 500.

Not bad, funny but I don't like it when people do really big close ups on sprites.

I knew there was an error there somewhere.

This is not me being slightly bitter that you passed me in the last week at all.

Haha, my long service award still keeps me above you on the VP! Oh my god, how insignificant I am *cries*

The best thing of the week for me, I made up all that ground I lost at the start of the week and then some, meaning my 30 points per day average remains for this week. Can't wait for an update for the BP ranks 51+

If you don't improve your pace I will pass you in 2-3 ranks. I still have your B/P in my blams.

Ah, but this is where I hold the advantage. You can only advance a few more ranks, whereas I can advance further (technically). You may pass me, but I shall return the favour and reclaim that stat from your grasp, at least.

You are right but think of the humiliation of being passed even for a short time by a level 12 when you are 15... I'd never hear the end of it if I were you.

Daily report:
Blams: 52
Saves: 31
Total B/P: 83. I woke up late today, which I am pissed off about, but hopefully I can still get around 90 - 100 B/P today.

It looks like the B/P ranks 51+ has not been updated yet. Is Denvish not doing it this week?

sheesh denvish, you forgetful man you :P

Dear BarraX,

I apologize to Electric Moose and Slash for the outburst...
It was completely uncalled for and very immature of me...
It wasn't the whole statistic issue I blew up over.... A lot of shit right now... Not just moving..
The whole moving issue only takes up about 75% of what's literally driving me to the edge of insanity.... I'm having to deal with my mother, who I haven't seen in a long time and who is now verbally abusive since I actually told her I don't belong here.... And my uncle is getting physical because I don't feel the way they want me to about Arkansas... Not to worried about him tho... guy thinks he can actually kick my ass..... I miss my baby girl..... My dad gave me a plane ticket the very next day of our little argument, and I never got the chance to actually say good-bye..... not just to her, but to every1.....
Only thing to keep me company right now is Newgrounds, Myspace, occasional bottle of St. Paulie Girl or Corona, and a few tears shed every now and then.... No friends.. whatsoever... I am missing Florida so bad.... The grass here is damp, the ground is rough, the sky is always grey... fuck, the weed is fucking BROWN..
I'd kill to see my friends and family again.. and maybe some water and a palm tree...

But anyway, I know I was wrong on my part. If my behavior wasn't deemable for my return, fine. But it'd be cool if I could at least talk to you guys... I'm soo fucking bored................

And with your new rank you'll be passing my voting power. Congrats.

This is kinda like a wake up call for me because I've really been slacking off the last few weeks which really hurts to watch.

Yeah, it's alright. I had a feeling you wouldn't want to stay away forever, as you've been a dedicated Barracks member since you joined up.
You got no problems from me. I'll make sure we get you re-added to the lists and all. ^_^

Ah, good. Yep, BlueHippo (or TehBlueHippo on the list :P) has finally passed me, so I'm down to 5th place. Hmm, I havn't seen much of ~X~ here recently, but that's probably because of him trying to concentrate on reviewing more.

CruX is back... alright, I hope the whole tantrum thing is over, we may be sympathetic and identify with your trouble but we aren't a punching bag, punch again and will punch back. I think that makes my point clear.

ok so im not gonna post untill i gain a level all i need is 700 bp points so here i go
