So tomorrow I have the huge test. Off to study in 20 minutes. Wish me some luck, I'll need for those 4-straight hours of test, like my Cambridge test preparation!

Seeing as how it's been relatively dead in here lately, I decided it would be a nice idea to keep track of people's activity levels in this thread, for no other purpose than a bit of fun, and to help people see who tends to be the most active in here.
Sounds like a good idea to do it every Sunday, I could help you with this one, in case you need it (but I doubt you will).
This is a record of user's posts in this thread since last Sunday. The order of members is (more or less) the same as from Tuesday's B/P roster. If people like this idea and want it to continue, I'll re-order it into alphabetical order.
Or you could re-order it into activity level. But this could encourage some pointless posts... well, if someone gets caught doing this they get removed from both lists for a certain period of time. Just an idea...
Barracks Activity Levels: 4/20/07 - 4/47/08

Seven posts! Hmm... not bad.

I think the servers were in need of an upgrade, as I've recently been getting the "Error - Server under heavy load" message when navigating around the site. It's kinda annoying, but hopefully now that will be sorted out.
Funny, when I clicked the "Reply & Quote" button, I got the error message. Newgrounds has been running slower in the past few days for me, even after the "Redesign". Pages load only half of them sometimes... Maybe it's my connection, but all the other sites load properly, so it's not an option anymore. Hell... I can deal with it.

...So here's a question. What's keeping you the Barracks members so busy that you can't find time to post? Both the good and bad reasons.
I have a lot of things to do at school, mostly tests and loads of homework. But this Thursday is a holiday and we won't have classes neither on Thursday nor Friday. =)
How about we get a little debate going b/p related. Topic: Wades thread about under judgement voting.
It's always fun to have a nice discussion here, specially when B/P is involved.
My suggestion:
Choose a select group of moderators that you feel can judge flash objectively. Give them the power to judge flash they deem unworthy of protection status.
Seems risky, because it's a huge responsibility for someone who's not from the staff. The methods of choosing those moderators have to be very strict, because they'll take care of the most important part of Newgrounds.
1. One moderator judges the flash to be crap which puts it into a judgement folder for review by the other moderators.
2. The other moderators review the these flash at a time of their choosing with flash being judged according to the majority vote.
3. The flash is either deleted from or restored to the portal. You could add a ban for flash determined to be spam.
Smart ideas, could work very well. But again, we'd have to see who fits for the moderating position.
Also raising the bar a little on the 1.6 wouldn't hurt either.
I'd say the bar should be raised from 1.60 to 2.00. Crap = no more.
Maybe if we find a good solution we all agree upon we can submit this as a group to Wade.
You do this part, since you came with the idea!
DISCUSS!
Sure did.
Personal accomplishments:
Passed 40,000 b/p
Lvl 30
Getting really close to 15k blams
Congratulations! Even "inactive" you got some nice stats since the last time I checked your profile.

School has been at the top of the list, followed closely by Game Boy and (the last two days) the fact that I decided to join the Kitty Krew, so I've been trying to make some KK Flash.
You did what?!? You actually joined the KK?
