That is a good idea, but I think it would be better to use a certain formula and draw a rate. So for example, if there is an average of 23.34 submissions being submitted every 15 minutes, then the Defcon level would be 3. Of course there should also be a range of rates per Defcon level. Cool idea though.

Right, your idea is better. But we still need to discuss the amount of submissions being submitted for each DEFCON level, to organise everything.

I have a doubt: who will be able to make the posts in the front page?

There is most likely be "access levels" and that certain people like EagleRock and SlashFirestorm will have the ability to post front-page news. Right now I'm tinkering with a blue/silver theme.

You mean only the officers will be able to post on the front page of the site? I guess that's fair, but if that's what is going to happen, then I think we (non-officers) should also be able to make front page posts, about one per week only.

Congratulations! Nice new badge, I'm still 2 ranks away from it. Now you're in the 1,500 points gap between each level. Ouch.

I miss the 1,500 point gaps. I'm now into the 2,000 point gaps, and it takes a LONG time to make any kind of serious progress. Still, all the badges ahead of me are pretty cool, and I'm getting quite high up now, which is always a nice bonus.

Yeah, I saw it, and because the page it was on was behind several other open browser windows, I didn't know where the hell it was coming from. It's very annoying - I think all the ads on websites should be muted by default.

Hard work pays of, most of the times. When you begin your B/P career, the gaps are very smaller than the ones we have to deal with, more than 10 times smaller. But the badges aren't that good, the bonus is small and it gives you no privilege. Basicaly, they change very little. But you get very happy with your first badge (town watch)

I think too. Actually, I've never seen an advetisement here with sound. Not that I remember, at least.

Hey, guys, sorry I didn't post really at all today. We had a snow day today, but I didn't get any computer related stuff done. My power was out when I woke up at 11:00 AM and then it came on around 3:00 for about 20 minutes, and the shut back off until just recently.

No power = No computer

I just got out of the shower, damn you power, and then finished up the Portal list. I'll be back in speed tomorrow, but as for now I must hit the hay. The only thing I got done today was level my Onix on Diamond from 32-62 and sleep. We may have a snow day tomorrow though, so we'll see what happens. I'm also only about 150 B/P points away from my next rank, so yay!

I hope to see myself in your work mister Pancakes. And I hope I won't die after only one battle... like in that CS thing EagleRock wrote a couple months ago :P

Praise Fulp, my ban is over.

Good to see things progressing well in my absence. The proposed EGB website looks and sounds awesome---moving beyond our humble forums would be swell.

Keep up the good work, everyone---and remember to invite any Elite Guards who look promising to check out the Barracks!

Well here is my occasional post in here (sorry to say, since I've been going through rivers of crap, I've had little time or interest in internet matters. I'm here for a few hours, if anything's wrong and you need help, speak now or for ever hold your trap.

Wow, slow day in here. Hallo, Phantom.

I put in a little B/P'ing today and flagged some abusive reviews. Normal stuff. During my Portal run, I was exposed to an awesome audio that I can't believe I hadn't heard yet---_-={Newgrounds Spectrum}=-_. Check it out if you haven't already---damn good stuff.

Remember that reviewing can make you a stat-whore, too! :-D

And most people don't have enough audio reviews...

It's in my favorites, actually. I only wish I knew how best to review it...

I would just ask to keep the reviews good; nobody likes to see that they have a message from M-Bot in their inbox.

I actually got 10 in a week not long ago. It was for a mission for the Department of Defense.

Anyways, I'll cut the small talk. There's stolen stuff in the Portal!

Indeed. Incidentally, a good exercise for prospective reviewers is to try to review a flash that you'd zero without being abusive. I wrote a very long review for the last illwillpress flash (which I wasn't exactly fond of) like that, although (not surprisingly) it's being downrated by fanboys, lol.

Passed---I'll PM Wade about it. I have a feeling that a fileswap is going to occur, but Wade can tell when that kind of thing happens.

A slightly belated welcome back to the Slashmeister, your BBS presence has been missed over the past 3 days.

I've been taking a little break from the B/Ping lately - been kinda ill recently so I haven't felt in the mood to spend a whole lot of time in the portal. Also, the longevity of ranking up is starting to take it's toll... I still have 1,587 to go until I reach Colonel. It really is going to be a difficult road to get all the way to Supreme Commander.

Looks like the submitter of that stolen flash got deleted along with his submission. Good, too---the flash was fileswapped with BlueHippo's (supposed) personal information.

Justice is served.

Totally unrelated---does anyone else think that the "mad as hell" smiley looks more like evil laughter than anger?

Was that the guy 'BlueHippoExploiter' or something similar? If so, he made a thread in the General forums basically giving BH's NG life story. He obviously has some unresolved issues with the guy.

Hmm, every time I've seen that smiley used, it's been employed by some angst-absorbed idiotic 13 year old, so that's what I relate it to.

Well then, the justice is even greater, heh. BlueHippo > 99% of Newgrounds.

Sounds about right.

Incidentally, I had almost forgotten how much I love responding to reviews. I think I wrote a particularly poignant response to someone who did not think highly of my second Secret Episode Special, hahaha.

Reminder to all response whores: I always reply to reviews, so if you want to up your review count/response ratio, drop me a review. Remember to use the search bar to find the flashes that I personally submitted.

I was wondering where you were yesterday, I think I saw you on here for a few minutes. I hope your feeling better man, I know how you feel bro I took a slight break the other day but I am motivated because I'm close to leveling up. But once I do I will be right there with you just trying to regain the motivation.

Heh, cheers man. The past few days I've only gotten around 25/day, which is a massive come-down after getting well over 100/day last week. Still, when you need a break you need a break. I'll be back at it sooner or later (hopefully sooner).

Boo.

I may be returning to ng on a semi-permanent basis now that 6 months of army training is over.

I was wondering if it'd be possible to come back to the EGB...

Just kidding about the whole "slow and painful death" part. But seriously, you were the worst member here.

Bah, I'm in a happy mood; disregard the entire first paragraph. I was just joking around.

That is an epic song but it dosn't flow enough. It's a bit jumpy when it's skipping the aura styles.

Everthing makes you a stat-whore! We are all statwhores in a way, depositing experience is stat whoring. But we're the good kind.

I got around 100 audio reviews.

I think his name was "chunlibigdick" or something like that. But he did make two anti-BlueHippo threads on General. In one of them he said that BlueHippo used to be a member of some spam crew (I forget which one), and had betrayed the spam crew to "suck Wade's dick" and end up as a mod. He used the other to promote the submissions that he had bashing BlueHippo.

It updates on Saturday, I'll see you on there!

Oh, shit. Could the GlockGroup be back?

Which makes me wonder, why did the Star Syndicate break up? I kind of miss their hilarious spam. I guess after watching the same dry humor from the KK everyday, even some of the worst shit from the past seems funny.

Heh, I remember all of them. What about other groups, like the Atom Alliance, Bomb Brigade, Lock Legion etc.? I remember back in the day there used to be dozens of different bracketed prefixes on flash submissions in the portal, like [CC] and all that. Those were the days that a lot of spam would actually get blammed though.

Yeah, I accidentally left those groups out. It seems that the CC and LL just randomly vanished, what happened to them while I was AWOL from Newgrounds? I miss the good old days when I used to get 150 blams a day.
