HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!
well I also posted this in Newgrounds Department of Defense and I have already but it seems the SS is pretty confident on this attack
I can't really discuss a plan for the upcoming spam attack here. It leaks some important information and sharing it here potentially puts me and possibly others at risk of a ban or something. I beg all of you to check out the EGB Forums. I'll post my information there.

Sometimes, over-confidence can be bad.
But in that case, I wouldn't count too much on it.
Is there is a post like this in the Police Headquarters? (or Police Department)
Stay alert and I hope this isn't a joke to falsely alert users. (I would prefer that this would be a joke, however.)
Post in the forums on anything else relating to the attack, and read mine and Snerd's posts in there. You will need to be signed up to read them, and I'm going out, so sorry to anyone that doesn't have access. If you want to find out ask someone else to Pm you the details.
No more posts on it in here though!

Aww, I'll just have to post my huge post in your guestbook then, look for it there... Can we discuss it over pms then?

Post this in the forums, Sentio; what are you basing your information on?
Didn't the dude say that the attack was tommorrow at 12:00 est or today? Stay alert, I'll be in the portal on duty.

Information: (as posted earlier by Dante, and also in a thread in general)
The final blow to NG we've all been waiting for has finally arrived. Tommorow night, at 12:00 EST, we will launch our ultimate assault on Newgrounds.com and completely destroy the pathetic excuse for a website.
After 12:00 midnight tommorow, no single submission shall pass through the portal. With our new proxy voting engines (which I can't exactly delve into) the portal will be fucked forever as every single submission gets blammed. It won't even take more than one person to accomplish this. So don't sweat it if you miss out on our epic glory tommorow night, you'll get to see the fun for the rest of the time Wade and Tom strugge before shutting the site down.
And of course we have the backup plan, but I'm not going to spoil it in case you don't know (you'll find out in case we get foiled somehow) (which is unlikely to happen after all the planning we've done).
Anyone who wants to sign up to the forums to discuss this further hit the link in Snerd's sig, or the FAQ link in mine- go to forums and sign up for an account. When you have done that PM me and I will validate you, I'll be up for another hour, after that you'll have to wait until morning. There are some parts of the forums only members can see, so you will have to sign up if you want to discuss this.
Having said all that, I'm pretty sure the attack was due tonight, and I've seen no evidence of it.

Here is a summary based on the injuries I've suffered in the past: I've been burned by Phantom's fireballs, I've been flung into a wall trying to kill a mating Carebear, I've been smacked in the head by LittleWashu's pans, and I've suffered many Wiimote attacks from members when the Barracks was in a Wii craze. >:(
One question. How are you still alive? :o
Yes, its greatness is making my profile shiny. :)
And your profile picture fills those who view your profile with fear. Seriously, that picture creeps me out.

They hate Wade, and pretty much the whole site itself. So I guess they just want to take it out on the flash portal itself. Yeah, I don't really get it either. :\
Filler text.
Because this space needs to be bigger than it already should be.
Jigen made this sig. madknt downsized it to fit the filesize limit. Go team.
I saw no attack and I'm personally not surprised about that to be honest.us Their group isn't what it used to be, none of the groups are really.
I am protecting the portal with the use of my Wii! XD

In this situation I don't think it was too much of a crime though- after all Wade ended up just deleting the whole lot anyway, so he effectivley mass voted himself to get rid of them. Judging by the complaints that a few good ones got taken out with the endless bad ones I suspect he didn't even watch them. Not that I am complaining, he did the right thing in my mind.At 5/18/07 04:36 AM, Coop83 wrote:Be careful what you say, as this may be interpreted by mods as attempting to influence people's votes. Most people in here already know how to deal with poor flash anyway, but it's no defence really.
That doesn't count as Mass Voting, since Wade isn't getting blam points for that. He's admin deleting them from the system, as it's a portal attack, designed to try and make the NG servers collapse.
I've gained around 100 more blams than saves this week, when usually I would have 150 more saves than blams. Most unusual, but there have been quite a few spam attacks over the last few days.
My B/P ratings have crashed this week, but that's due to a few goings on away from NG (I'm about to leave the office for Wales, plus there's a few things going on at home which require me to be away from a computer than any Barracks member should really be)
Hopefully, I'll bounce back with avengeange over the next week or two.
Well, I guess I'll change subjects then.
I achieved my objective of 6525 b/p with 9 or 11 more points.
Next objective: 6600 b/p.
Because my life is cheap as always, I have nothing to say more.
Maybe later...
REVIEW CHALLENGE THREE!
A similar submission to last week in that it has potential, but a lot of faults, except this week it is a game rather than a movie.
Picking these submissions is harder than I thought- the vast majority of low scoring flash that pass through the portal are spam submissions- it's as if other poor submissions don't exist anymore, I can only assume because they get blammed.
Once again the TOTW is spam (no surprise there), and the underdog kind of is, though it actually gave me a laugh when I watched it.
Results from last week will be given when PenguinLink and ILC have got back to me (I have just sent them PMs on voting), so I don't know an exact time of date. Just be patient, results will be here eventually!

Reviewed. do i need to link to my review to make sure Penguin Link and ILC see it, i can;t remember what you said about it before. I think i did a good enough job on this one, i tried to be as constructive as i could.
anyway, getting really close to my next B/P badge as well.
Just reviewed it. I don't know, though... The underdog this week is actually kinda funny.

Don't worry about linking to it, they know what the submission is, and I doubt there will be too many reviews. I'll link to it next week when I PM them anyway. I haven't looked at your review yet, but it sounds good to me- real potential in this submission to give constructive criticism and ways to improve.
And early congrats on the next rank :)

Glad you reviewed it. I liked the underdog as well, it was pretty funny, though the loud noises towards the end let it down a bit. I just got the impression that the author wouldn't take notice of any constructive criticism he received, so I went for a more deserving submission that needs all the help it can get.
In future weeks I'd like to here suggestions from people of possible submissions to review (via PM)- it would save me the bother of trawling through submissions until I find a decent one, and I'd like to give you lot as much freedom in this as possible. After all you are all reviewing them, so it would be nice if they were things you wanted to review. Any suggestions must be in before Wednesday though!

I think that I can make it to staff sergeant by the next ranking update. I'll probably only be close to it and I'll make it on that Wednesday, but I think I can make this goal even with this fucking depression on the portal. The last update, I had 3012. I have 3500 now and more on the way. So I've made about 500 points in 8 days. I think I can make enough in the remaining 6 to bring me near the 4000 I need for the new badge. I think I've finally set the bar at an appropriate level. I've given myself a goal that I'm not too sure about, but I have enough confidence to attempt it. If luck and wishes were real, I'd ask you to wish me luck, but luck is only the feeble mind's concept of probability and wishes are for people too lazy to actually do anything about something.

Good luck with that...I noticed the Portal is pretty bad, too. I can only get around 8-10 flash every time I visit fresh. How pitiful.

LOL...best to keep yourself dedicated and you'll hit heights in no time. Things get harder once you hit 1000 B/P points per rank, and it just gets worse from there. Just keep it going and keep a goal in your sights. Good luck!
Incidentally, I joined our forums (as our current ones are not coming back, I just asked the admin), and would like to be approved and made admin. I don't know who set up the new forums (my guess is Snerd), but they look pretty good!

I just validated you. Slash is the admin/creator of the forums, and I have access to his account while his computer is getting fixed up so that I can validate new users. Sadly I have no idea how to make you an admin, so you will have to wait until Slash gets back (which hopefully will be soon).

Haha, thanks! No rush on the admin thing, as I have no intention of changing the site or doing anything. I just wanted to have the ability to help out if we have a problem in the forums, which we hopefully will not. I don't know how much was done on the forums, but I can take a look at the security settings and see what tweaks we can do to make things more secure.
I do have to note that seeing "HEBREW MUSTARD" as one of the hot threads on the forums got my attention. Makes me know the EGB is just as insane as it was before...good work. :-)
On a side note, I think I'm going to be suspending my World of Warcraft account in favor of having a life. That being said, I will take the life that was rescinded by WoW and put it into much more life-productive tasks, such as LOTRO and Newgrounds. :-) Hopefully you'll see me around here more. I do miss this place and feel like I've been left out of a lot of cool stuff that's happened since. I see tons of great new faces around here, and I'd like to get back into the swing of things.
I've also ordered new parts and am constructing pretty much a whole new computer for myself, since I can't bear to have a computer that can't play Oblivion outside of 640x480. That being said, I will probably not be able to post too much over the next week or so, but afterwards, my computer will be completely back up to snuff and I'll be rolling again.
As much as I advertise for and post on that fucker, I oughta be somethin'.... Kidding. Unless you actually want to give me some authority... Then by all means...
Oh, if you're gonna start HEBREW MUSTARD, you need to start at the first post. Speaking of which, I just posted a "new" comic. It's new to you guys, anyway. Don't forget to check it this weekend for the final part of the trilogy. EagleRock, you wait until you've read the other two parts. You don't really need to, but it'd help you to understand the level of stupidity that my comics strive for.
Oh, and remember, you can only see season two of "Dave the Angel" if you vote for it. Voting will start soon. If you've missed out on the great stories in the literature contest, you suck ass, man. GET A-READIN'!
Portal's starting to pick up a little. I also got a shitload of whistle points. Check out the abusive reviews thread in Where is/ How to. At the bottom of the current page, there should be a link to reviews for some game. I can't even remember what it's called. The person that posted it is called "cheekyvincent". You'll know the post I'm talking about because I thanked them directly after their post. It's 45 pages of reviews and most of them are abusive. I should be really close to that gold whistle.

Ha...I've never really liked giving officerships here by request, as I feel your dedication and work should speak for you, not your words. However, I haven't been here for a while, and there are new faces. Give me time to catch up, and I'll consider it. If I am not mistaken, I had a position for controlling the website/forum before, but I'd have to dig it up. Like I said, positions come and go around here, and if you deserve it, you will get a role here.

Good work! Too bad I missed it...
Incidentally, you taking about the Portal has reminded me of the:
DEFCON Update:
Portal is rather slow, but the threats seem high. For this reason I'm leveling the DEFCON at DEFCON 3. However, if malicious/spamlike flash persist or increase in number, this may change. Keep an eye out for mass-voters and portal spam.

I got a few of them, but I rarely whistle things anymore, or at least not in huge amounts. I'll whistle anything I come across in my everyday browsing of the portal, but nothing much else.

Yay, I've missed the DEFCON updates :). 3 seems a little generous to me, but then I've been floating around the forums and watching Champions League football updates rather than scanning the portal.
