I haven't wished anyone a happy Valentine's since it isn't Valentine's day here. Actually, I don't even know when it is here, it isn't a steady day. Just like carnival, it variates from year to year, it's confusing.

Incidentally, has anyone noticed that there have been a LOT of school shootings in the past week, and damn near zero media coverage about it? What the fuck is up with that? It hasn't been one or two, it's been like half a dozen.

I know, there was even one yesterday. It's probably because of Valentine's day, where some depressive/crazy/maniac singles get mad and start shooting everything with a heartbeat.

The media here gave some side-coverage. It didn't gave breaking news, but they mentioned it on the news.

And yet, I still manage to get BREAKING NEWS e-mails about Britney Spears.

I don't get e-mails, but some news sites here give more attention to her than to real important things, like the robbery of secret informations from Petrobras.

Oh! Before I forget does anyone what to deposit for me from the 19-24? I might be able to squeeze in a deposit on the 19th and 24th, and I also would like to have them vote on 2-5 UJ submissions, so I can keep getting some points.

If NEVR, lilhunter03 nor SoulMaster71 get the "job", I can do that for you.

It got blammed. Well, in the description the submitter said it wasn't neither a movie nor a game. So what the hell was it?

Now I'm going to write some reviews for the Review Request Club and maybye catch some B/P. But the Flash Portal is still slow, although yesterday it was preety active.

*Salutes*

I've done all I can to blam Fleek's flash, it won't be enough unfortunately but I'll continue to vote 0 no matter what even if it cost me a point.

We're all doing what we can to stop Fleek, Commander. Not just the EGB, but everyone who wants to see the Portal protected rather than filled with shit. The problem is guys like, well, like yoshi77777 keep seeing his crap as free save points. All we need to do, is keep Fleek and his alts and friends from passing anything for a month or two. Past that, I think, the protect-whores will catch on to it no longer being free saves, and vote to Blam instead of protect.

Well, then, congratulations!

And yes, I saw that "Sugar, Spice and..." while it was Under Judgment. I don't fifen often, especially when pulling Portal Protection duty, but in this case I voted 5.

I remember an era where 'free blams' were more common than 'free protects'. They were still spam, but at least they were spam that disappeared after judgment. This "free protect" bullshit isn't just spam, it's spam that makes Newgrounds look shitty ever after.

Bleh.

It would be nice to actually be able to get blam points off of the spam instead of zeroing it and it still be able to get a score over 2.

I was one of the first to watch it, if I can remember. I voted it a four, because it was a little short, in my opinion.

Free Blams... I can imagine how would that be...

But, I'm angry and at the same time worried.

Newgrounds has reached a point where the most stupid, idiotic, pointless flash passes with a 2+ score.

Try "KK Front Group", and you'll hit nearer the mark. Most of the Kitties got too lazy to submit, so BFK invaded a newly-forming group and basically made them a puppet of his own crew. And as long as yoshi77777 gets the free +1 Flash Counts, he's happy. There's statwhores and statwhores, as I say, and yoshi77777 is most definitely the second type: doesn't give a damn about anything on Newgrounds except numbers. And most of his group, hell, most 07 users other than me and some others, are the same way.

The long awaited "Former Former Badge" is back on my profile!

I've waiting for this badge ever since i got demoted to Sgt. First Class because of the re-design.

I imagine myself as a new user who just came to the Flash Portal and the first movie I see is that. I wouldn't visit Newgrounds anymore. That's why I'm against them, they could stop some people from going here.

Some of the KK Flashes were even "passable". But I haven't seen anything quality-worth from the L7C.

I saw that 10MB blank screen, although I don't think it's blank. The filesize is very big and I don't think there is a pre-loader, so there'll be a white screen for about 10 minutes.

The KK splited, I think. Before there were about 5 KK submissions a day. Today, that's weekly. Now every "spammer" co-authors with other spammers, so it's like a huge crew (although I've never seen Fleek being co-authored wiht BFK).

And I don't get why yoshi77's wants to have so many Flashes here. I couldn't find a single worth-watching Flash of his, and that will make him unpopular. However, there are lots of "save-whores" that blindly vote 5 on everything by someone with more than 50 submissions. They probably think like this: "if this guy has lots of submissions, then he must be a good artist".

His crew is quite big and some have a strong voting power. However, we are stronger.

He just wants to have alot of flashes not really caring about quality. It amazing how people vote five on things just because that author has a few flashes.

* Salutes, but still mad *

* Salutes *

The multiple-flash trick is one of the oldest...and most successful.

Even for people who don't use it intentionally, it makes a difference. Back when I made flash, lots of my later stuff passed with much higher scores than I expected. I'd like to say that my flashes had more effort in them than L7C stuff---and they did---but still, the fact that any of my solo flashes passed with over a 3.00 astonishes me.

I'm in favor of hiding a flash artist's submission count during judgment---at least from the flash screen, maybe even on their profile while they have something UJ. It does influence people, and while more active users will recognize the authors, it'll have some effect on the people who visit the Portal more infrequently.

Nope. Suaron put it on just to be a blank screen... It's the oldest trick in the infamous book: put half a dozen MP3 files set to Event on the frame after the blank screen to drive up the filesize, as this will both increase the chances of it passing and the amount that it will piss off Wade. Not that I think Suaron wants to piss off Wade, but still.

Unpopular with intelligent users, with the people who want to protect the Portal, definitely. But these modern statwhores judge each other not by artistic or post quality, but by numbers. He's not trying for Daily Feature, he's trying to impress his buddies in L7C and TTA!

However, there are lots of "save-whores" that blindly vote 5 on everything by someone with more than 50 submissions. They probably think like this: "if this guy has lots of submissions, then he must be a good artist".

Nah. They just know each other's minds. And they all think "How would I feel if my shitty Flash Count +1 submission got blammed? Bad, because that's missed stats! So I'll protect this guy's shitty Flash Count +1 submission, as will the rest of us, for free saves!"
Oh, wait, he just made more!

And don't forget, the EGB has allies. The Department of Defense is active constantly, the Police Headquarters is planning to rebuild, and there are others too who protect the Portal without a club behind them.

No kidding! From the way the "author" responded NG users' reviews, (including mine) he is apparently to childish and ignorant to make a quality flash. If memory serves me right, I saw the original flash on newgrounds a few weeks ago, (the owl in the beginning looks awfully familiar...) but I have trouble finding the link though. The best way is to inform Wade about it, I am positive that he will find enough evidence to prove that the movie is indeed stolen and ban the "thief" for good.

if it was stolen that isn't the issue now. the movie has been fileswapped into some stupid crap movie. I didn't see it myself but from what you guys are saying I can honestly say it had to be stolen I haven't seen something like that since the BB days (though I still miss some of thier funny flash)

On a side note how was everyone's day? mine was ok until I got hounded again for getting too much time when they know it isn't my fault. well have a good evening soliders boys and girls.

Yeah, they a spin-offs and suck, but so does the original yet people still turn a blind eye to it.
