well i tried to mark that flash without seein it, but it was gone when i tried. good work to everyone that got rid of it. but irish pimp, maybe you should reconsider resigning. its not that big a deal here, in fact pretty normal. if you act out of line (and pretty much every thread is the same anywhere but the general forum) then people get upset. and im with eagle and slash. responding to spam only gets us in trouble as well as our thread.

Glad to hear you wish to stay. I appreciate you cooperation on the matter, as it really makes life easier when people don't respond. After all, if you don't respond to a spammer, what is he getting out of it?

It's okay. Myspace is kind of annoying after, like, the first 20 minutes. Despite the fact it is clearly marked that I'm in a relationship, I get girls asking me out online...it's fucking annoying. Most of them are ditzes, anyway.

Oh yeah, and its End of Day Report time!

110 B/P. I missed a lot of B/P over the past week and a half, so I have been recovering to get back on schedule. I was behind as much as 160 B/P at one point, but I am now down to only being 80 B/P behind. Good stuff.

Hmm. Go look. Quite the intresting piece of work. I am not going to comment on this. I would just like everyone to go look. It should provide with some unbiased reaction within your brain. Now go laugh. Oops, I mean, go watch. I do not want anyone to think I am only trying to support fellow barracks members, lol.

I didn't have to pay for college...I had a full ride for undergrad and am working part time for my graduate degree. That's a lot of time to get a car like that squeezed in...

Besides, I bought it used. The car is actually 7 years old in those pictures. There's more pictures here:

ROFL! Slash, your latest episode is great, I gave you a 4. So you are crazy about Washu? Too bad that she won't marry you since you do not have a social life. (you b/p too much.) But nevertheless, Imao flash. :D

EagleRock

That is quite the car. Having your college paid for makes a huge difference. College fees alone are enough to bankrupt some people. I have the joy of my schooling being paid for as well. It just makes getting everything done that much sweeter.

:World_Famous

I do actually have a MySpace. i did not start it until about three or four days ago. So there is a lot of work to be done yet. I'll leave an open challenge for anyone that wants to try and find it. It should not be too difficult.

Alright gentlemen. I have a question to ask any of you bored enough to actually respond to me. I am wishing to know your positions on ALT accounts.

1. Should users have them?
2. What are they good for?
3. Do they casue more trouble then they are worth?
4. Overall pro's and con's.

Anything you guys want to fill me in on would be great. I know there is not really much to it, it is another ng account, blah blah blah. So as pointless as it may seem for me to be asking I am anyway. Thanks.

1. Should users have them?

They can if they wish. The NG Mods and Admins don't really have a problem with it...why should we?

2. What are they good for?

Many things:

- Alternate personality (if you go that route...and I don't mean a spammy, pain in the ass one)
- Reserving of usernames (my EagleRockAlt account saves my username when I switch it during holidays, etc.)
- The ability to start over the leveling process if you want
- A new place to B/P (so you can have the satisfaction of going through the ranks again)
- Posting past the four-post limit (in rare occasions, such as when Denvish or whoever posts the top 300 B/P update)

3. Do they casue more trouble then they are worth?

I don't think so. Many, many, many people have alts and they don't bother anyone. I have an alt, but it doesn't bother anyone. There are probably more alts out there then we can estimate. The reason we don't know about them is because they are harmless. It's not the alts, that are a problem, it's the users that use the alts that are the problem.

4. Overall pro's and con's.

Pros:
- Saves username
- Extra B/P or depositing
- Extra posts when applicable

Cons:
- People can abuse them

I think alts are good, simply because I woudl venture to say that there are way more "good" alts then there are "bad" alts. A few assholes shouldn't spoil the benefits for everyone.

Anything you guys want to fill me in on would be great. I know there is not really much to it, it is another ng account, blah blah blah. So as pointless as it may seem for me to be asking I am anyway. Thanks.

It's not pointless...it was a good question to ask. Very detailed and intelligent.

I appreciate all the input sir. It is very helpful. I have been thinking about making one lately.Your post has certainly helped me in my choice. I figured this would be the best place for me to come and ask. I have a lot of respect for all of you here and figured I would get the best information.


They can if they wish. The NG Mods and Admins don't really have a problem with it...why should we?

That makes a lot of sense. There really is no reason for anyone to be upset over it. It is a rare occasion that there is a problem. People using ALT's to post in the forums while banned for example. I know of cases of such things happening. So it is not a problem to have your ALT's known? I know Bahumut displays his two in his sig so I am assuming it is not a problem.


Many things:

- Alternate personality (if you go that route...and I don't mean a spammy, pain in the ass one)

I do not think I would ever need to go that route. i have enough trouble keeping track of the personalities I have without letting them roam free on Newgrounds. It just wouldn't be fair to all of you to unleash that kind of mess. ^_^


- Reserving of usernames (my EagleRockAlt account saves my username when I switch it during holidays, etc.)

That is not a bad idea. I have never changed my username. I have thought about it, but I wouldn't even know what to change it to. That is the other problem with me making an ALT account, I would have no name figured out.


- The ability to start over the leveling process if you want
- A new place to B/P (so you can have the satisfaction of going through the ranks again)

These are two big ones that I would really like to start over. My first few months on NG I missed out on b/p and depositing. I did not do either of them really at all because I did not fully understand the process. It would be nice to be able to start an account off the right way. B/P and level the way I would like to. I regret starting this one off that way, but I cannot make up for lost time.


- Posting past the four-post limit (in rare occasions, such as when Denvish or whoever posts the top 300 B/P update)

There have been times I wish I was able to do so. Especially sig making. It can make it difficult to get everything I would like into four posts in a half hour. Photobucket has helped with that though.


I don't think so. Many, many, many people have alts and they don't bother anyone. I have an alt, but it doesn't bother anyone. There are probably more alts out there then we can estimate. The reason we don't know about them is because they are harmless. It's not the alts, that are a problem, it's the users that use the alts that are the problem.

I guess I do not really think about how many alts are out there. I guess there is no way to estimate. It would be quite intresting to know how many there are though. Maybe someone could start an ALT thread. People could post how many, if at all, ALT's that they currently have. I think it might be intresting. It would of course not be a very exact count, but maybe give an idea. I will probably have to agree with you on the user not the alt issue. Accounts don't hurt people, people hurt people.


Pros:
- Saves username
- Extra B/P or depositing
- Extra posts when applicable

Cons:
- People can abuse them

That is a nice wau to sum it all up. Short, sweet, and simple.


I think alts are good, simply because I woudl venture to say that there are way more "good" alts then there are "bad" alts. A few assholes shouldn't spoil the benefits for everyone.

I do not think you are venturing down the wrong path there. There probably are more good alts than bad and there is no reason for one to spoil it for all. I have seen things like that happen far too much. I guess there are more benifits than i realized.


It's not pointless...it was a good question to ask. Very detailed and intelligent.

I appreciate that sir. As i said, I have been wondering about it for a while. Your post was of course extremly helpful. It answered everything I needed to know.

I guess my biggest concern is that i will not be able to put in as much time as I would like to an ALT. The B/P and the depositing would not be too much trouble, but I know the forums and clubs would be quite difficult to keep up. I seem to have trouble keeping up with the forums now. I may just make one. i had considered starting it on the anniversary of my account now. 7/20/06 will be my one year anniversary. I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens. Thank you again for your help.
