Though i can't wait for masters of horror to come out with another season both amazing shows.Also sorry for going off topic i just love those two shows and wanted you guys to learn about them.

I read the Dexter book last year for a class project. The author has a lot of talent, and the book keeps me interested all the way through. I didn't know they had a television program for it; I'll have to go check it out soon.

Well, the Portal seems under control and I haven't seen too many rule-breaking submissions today. I got an excellent amount of Blam and Protection points today; as well as quite a few whistle points from abusive reviews. I should rank up in a few days back to Elite Guard Staff Sergeant, and then I will have the same rank as I did before the redesign; not to mention a Gold whistle should be coming my way soon.

Newgrounds High is coming well on its way and you should hopefully see it in the next few weeks if all goes according to plan. Once again, if you have any suggestions, please note them; then you can get a shout-out in the credits if the idea works.

Now time to go do my duties as an Elite Guard Barracks member while multi-tasking making Flash and rocking out to Soilwork.

It was alright. All outlines, though. Is that going to be how the actual show is? No fill or color other than lines?

Nah, it'll be more than outlines, definitely.

I gave it a 2/5. Passing, but definitely needs more elbow grease to make it a good watch. At one point his teeth were just colored in, not filled. You could see thru them...

Ooh, I really rushed it didn't I? :/ Maybe I should have taken an extra day to finish it. After all, one and 1/2 days isn't enough to get out a streamlined flash out. Atleast it got a 3.16 and a nice green bar. :)

Anyway, good luck with it. Hope the actual thing exceeds the trailer.

Don't worry it will.

No but I have tried using proxies for some of my own needs and found that out. Also, it's the first, better get to voting.

Just when I say I'm back my laptop breaks, now that's a stab in the gut.
But I'm glad to say the portal is looking mighty fine and lots of submissions, lately which had been my real worry, and the quality is astonishin too

The top 50 hasn;t been this full of life in a long while, I do hope it keeps up, to bad college is getting in the way of my B/Ping, I'm lucky to make 20 a day.

Ah well beggers can;t be choosers and the like

Lol, *flash back* just be glad that I'm letting you get by with using that without choking you to death over it...

I'm sorry, but now is around the time you can start to joke around about it; like when your friend slips on a banana peel and breaks their wrist; for the first week, you're all "oh shit man, that sucks", but after that, you laugh at it.

Or that's how I do it.

Whatever. It's like it's that important that we know who it is. People post here all the time saying "thank god! a place to fight spam!" and we think nothing of it.

You forgot the word not.

What are you, my grammar check?

So have you checked out my flash/finished the story yet? I've been waiting.

Nope. I don't remember you sharing a link, and I doubt I saw it.

I lied; I just checked, and I did see it. I gave it a 2, but it has a long way to go to get a decent score. It looks unfinished, and poorly done at that. It might be able to go somewhere, but unless you work hard at it, it won't.

Also, I watched Hostel the other night. Pretty good movie, although the SFX looked a little cheesey. But I'm sure it's to be expected; I doubt it was a high budget film. There's a real twist, although you can kind of see it coming. Also, for those perverts, the first 45 minutes is sex and drugs, while the last 30-45 is gore. I give a C+, maybe a B-.

Ok, I'm back from the land of statwhores :) I've now updated the responses list and in doing so, I also passed the magical number of 10,000 Posts. My e-Penis is tingling, just thinking about it :)

My Blams on a day-to day basis have jumped as well, so maybe an indication that we're winning the war!

Amazing accomplishment, I still have a long way but at least I'm slowly nearing the 60 K B/P line. with my 4 posts a day average for now I don't have much of a chance to make your achievement anytime soon. Oh well, (over one line of actual stuff, just).

Big congrats on that on Coop.

Yeah i need to start getting more blams. ~900 gap between my blams and saves currently.

The portal seemed slow for me yesterday, only 28 points gained. I need to start staying up later if i want more B/P. Damn my being in GMT instead of an American time zone.

*salutes*

*Salutes*

Speaking of Blams and Saves, my Saves finally surpassed my Blams. I think we need to start a petition to increase the time for the voting bar to load. It loads WAY before the Flashes even fully load for me. I think that a is a big reason so much crap that is not affiliated with spam groups is passing. I imagine idiots just give it a 2-5 if the author has other Flashes on their record without even viewing the particular piece of content.

On another note, I think in the next few days I should have my Gold whistle. I hope it happens soon so my ePenis can reach maximum until I get an upgrade.

Back to the Portal!

Hell, I still don't get why I don't have a gold whistle. It's like I'm stuck in some sort of limbo or something.

Meh, I'm too lazy to even get past bronze, so who's the lazy bastard now?

On b/p note, who's noticed the lack of submissions in the portal? I know I have. I got over 70 on Sunday (personal record), but haven't really seen those kind of numbers since then.

I've slowed down with my posting - I do hope it's nothing to doo with the 10k, more the fact that I've had so little time to myself.

You really need to be around for Clock Day then. I was trying to Blam crap and I still managed 498 points. Non-special day record is about 120 for me, so it's doable if you plan your day correctly.

Meh, unlike you, I have a life. loljk, I have to go to school for 8 hours, and they have blocks on NG because of "Adult content". Which is warranted, since there is hentia and shit; but they couldn't just block the page with a flash designated "Adult". Luckily, I can still go to userpages, since they can't block all of them.

I got 259 and I was trying to blam shit really hard. It didn't work though I came close to blamming one though. I think only 2 out of 1000+ submissions was blammed. My personal best is 289 in 24 hours. It was the very day after clock day that I broke my previous record. I hope the next Clock Day won't be so shitty.

On a day when almost anything passes, it is bound to be shitty for people like us who actual care about the quality of the Portal. I think people seeing Clock Day is another big attribute in the issue of lots of crap passing the Portal that is not affiliated with spam groups. I just want to see the Portal prosper like it did back in late '05 and early '06. If the Newgrounds staff had seen what Clock Day has brought, then I doubt they would have ever officially sponsored it.

I have also noticed the EGB slowing down. What is happening people?

That's a nifty achievement you have there. Still have a few hundred more posts to go before I get there...

To an extent, yeah. There are still a few spam submissions passing, like those TTA's. I've seen around 8 of them within the past 3 days. But meh, at least it's not a frequent thing. It's really bothersome when you see those flashes passing.

Other than that, the portal seems like it's starting to be treated with fair votes.

Yeah, definitely. If Tom, Wade or anyone else saw the utter shit that happened, they'd most likely outlaw the day all together. I spent an hour on my ClockDay flash, it was propbably one of the few non spam flashes, and the spam flashes got 4.03's while mine was stuck with 3.95. Get the point? People don't care anymore. The fucking redesign has fucked with their minds enough that they only want to be flash whores. The Portal apocolypse is coming soon I believe. I may have predicted it wrong, it could happen this year. Or maybe it already happened, (Clock Day). I dunno, but hell, I don't think Clock Day and Madness Day have fully diminished. I mean, crap is getting through with scores of 2.00 and over and it's October!

Inactivity most likely, but some may be in the Portal trying to keep things under control.

Well for myself i've been too busy with video games lol. But i'm here for now and the game's pissing me off so i'll probably be here for a while. The portal seems to be shittier than usual i can't even believe the "truth revealed" flashes are passing. I see how most of the time people at least care alittle and blam the crappiest of flashes. Those just go to stupid flashing words and colors not even a preloader.

The people seem to be 5ing everything and not even 2ing anymore. I find it annoying how people 5 instead of 2ing. If they must be dumb and protect spam why 5 it so it can get high scores? I find it really annoying.

I've been having computer trouble (anything more complex than text stresses my machine to dangerous levels), and I'm buried in work on my stories...which I promised my readers was my current number one priority until I update it (which should be soon).

Hopefully I'll be able to view flash and post more easily soon, and hopefully my plate will be cleared enough for me to utilize that capability in the next few days.

I hate those things... And I haven't seen one get blammed yet. Talk about spam. It's the same thing over and over with different words and calling people cunts.

Nah, not really. I'd say it's about the same vote-wise. Just less spam.

That sounds troubling. You got spyware on your comp or is your hard drive over 60% full? That'll do weird things. Good luck with your writings.

Yeah, I'd love to get down and dirty making Flash, but I don't get large enough blocks of time to make real progress right now. It SUCKS.

I saw two blammed but like 8 more passed the same night. Then it was later re-submitted and passed. Truely sad times for the portal. Also sad that they no longer need to fileswap they can pretty much submit whatever they want and get it passed.

Eh i had a crap load of spyware,adware,and viruses a few days ago. Took me hours to get all the shit out and had to install avast. My other anti-virus program sucked.

Maybe we should stop being so lazy and get to whistling, eventually they'll have to improve our whistles, I think 10-20 whistles a day isn't too tiring and will get you a better whistle rather quickly if you keep it up.

We've got to keep trying to improve ourselves and indeed our numbers. I'm looking at the numbers of Barracks members and those of us who have signed my news post petition and it looks like we are in decent shape. We will not tolerate crap in the portal, we know how to use the 0 button!
