That's mostly due to all of Suaron's submissions being removed by Wade yesterday.

Hmm, interesting. He had about 150 submissions, didn't he? I remember he submitting a 10MB blank screen and it passed.

No, not really. I was getting them right after the update, but now it's fine to me. Although there are some times when I have too many flashes loading and I vote on one of them and I get the "server error" box.

However, I just got a couple of them right now. 0_o

No really a victory of the Barracks, but a victory for everyone. If it continued, it would become a huge +1 post count place. Also, the second thread creator (Corky52) didn't accept my opinion, he didn't want to debate about it. Still, good thing that it got locked.

I know I completely agree with you it was for the good of NG that that thread was locked. BlueHippo is one of the most fair and active forum mods in my opinion, its a good thing we have him around this place or it would surely go to hell very quickly.

Ten-hut! Your Brigadier General has entered the Barracks!

Finally, after watching those last few points until my rank up arrive, I've been promoted to the first of the three General ranks. I'm getting there!

And to think when I joined this club I was a mere Praporshchik. What a long way I've come. Sexy badge picture to follow ;)

Brig. Gen. NEVR, out!

Not bad, not bad. Just B/Ping and protecting the portal from spam and malicious submissions. Its nice to have you back from a long hiatus sir, I hope you do start B/Ping again since you are soooo close to Supreme Commander. I hope you are active again in the Barracks, its always nice to have another officer around.

Good to hear General, keep it up! With a job, girlfriend, and finals coming up it's hard to get on Newgrounds and protect the Portal, but I'll try and do my best. It would be nice to finally reach the final rank so I'll be aiming towards that.

I caught that myself. It has been marked now for review. I recently leveled up and got a promotion to boot as well. I dont have much to say but I am going to uni to make something of my wretched life. Nice to see you are all enjoyed Pico day (I was at work, booo). some quality subs went through but I bet theire was just as much spam.

I agree, BlueHippo is surely a great moderator. But you know what's funny? ramagi re-opened the thread, left a message and closed it again! Take a look there.

Funny, the last points take forever to come. Well, at least for me! It sucks to refresh my page just to get the damn screenshot.

And I still have two badges to go to get the golden ones. Hell, I'll get there someday!

Hey, good to have you back, Hemlock! You're so close to become a Supreme Commander, if you go back to B/P, in about two weeks you'll get there. GO GO GO!

Nuts, over and out.

Roster notice:

I've set Joshiwa to work on Tuesday's upcoming roster, so he can get a feel for it. I imagine we'll be doing it the same way as Stero and I used to, where we alternate the roster duty between us each week. As it'll be his first time doing a roster, let him know (in a nice way, don't be an asshole about it) if he's made any little mistakes or anything, as that's how we learn. I'm sure he'll do a great job, though :)

Just stopping by to say thanks for the update, NEVR. I'm pretty sure that the next update, which is due any day now will show a marked drop in my pace, as I've been away in the Lake District for about 4 days. Getting back at about mid-afternoon today was great, as I've finally returned to my computer and can get back on the wagon of statwhoreishness.

Mr. Smertin, there is a Dream-of-Duke in our sights. Acquire the target, seek and destroy.

Aye sir!

Well, you still have Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and some of Tuesday to make up a bit of pace. I've had a reasonable week so far - I'm sitting at about the 55/day mark for pace, which I'm pleased with. Of course, If it wasn't for the past 2 days being kind to me, I'd be nearer 30/day.

Mr. Smertin, there is a Dream-of-Duke in our sights. Acquire the target, seek and destroy.

Aye sir!

Go go go!

Wow this new layout is awesome! I really like it and I'm looking forward to the winners being announced. In the place where the general concept of the awards and how they work Tom says "the 2000 active users" who helped choose the submissions. Who comprises this list? Is it the top 2000 b/pers? Or top 2000 experience users?

It's the top 2000 users who are most active in depositing their EXP for the month. There's a fair few inactives in the actual top 2000 EXP users, though, so it usually runs over to include people up to about rank #3000 or so.

Ok since this thread has been dead for about seven hours, I have a question: what is the job of an icon mod? What do they do? Make sure peoples icons are appropriate?

Yes that is what they do. They make sure the icons and forum signature pictures are appropriate for this site.

Yeah, basically they are the bastards who don't allow anything cool and porny on sigs (some stuff however are best monitored...)

Sorry, but the requirements for joining the EGB are that you reach the rank of Private in B/P points.

When you reach the rank of Portal Security, you may request to join the Newgrounds Police Dept., from which you may graduate to us after you achieve the required number of points.

Sounds like a good idea. I think that the NGDD does these kinds of things on a regular basis like review contests, b/p contests things like that. So you could get some potential ideas from them if you'd like. Whatever it is I'm ready for it!

Just a quick heads up for you - you might be wanting to head to the Where is / How to? Forum. That's where most of the questions are asked and answered.

If a thread is inactive for time like that, a bump will come along soon, especially in a thread that is as active as this one. You'll probably get an answer quicker there as well.

Hey, I'm missing something here...

Where is the state of the portal that is done every month? It's already May 3rd and no signs of it.

I don't think flipping cars, starting riots, and spamming the New York newspaper opinions section would make you qualify for the barracks just yet.

Just get 2,500 b/p points and you'll have a shot.

lol oh shit, I totally fucking forgot about that. XD

I'll make a thread, even though I've been woefully inactive for the past month. I recommend y'all list, among other things, your favorite Pico Day flashes, heh.

Just did mine. Couldn't really think of much to write for this month, it's been pretty uneventful other than Pico day. Oh well, I guess that's (in part) why the Barracks has been slightly less active of late.

I think that with Wade Fulp thread that spam is getting blammed, For example Orangebeef submitted a crappy spam flash and it got blammed here http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/43 7977. I know its only one flash ,but its all makes a diffrence. Im sure before the thread this would have passed judgement but great work.

Sir i found this in the portal is it hishttp://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view /437999 only its first game and he only signed up today

But look at the e-mail: bsmart.ru. And with his username "bsmart", it looks to me like he's the owner or manager of that site, and is posting some of the games from the site here to try to increase his audience.

If you vote a zero or one on a submission, but before it goes through the whole judgement process and the author removes it, do you get a blam point? or no point?
