Now my grammer i would like to know ,where i could improve on this. I guess where to put commers and such ,i think it improved. I dont have a spell checker but i have a dictionary, i dont mind. TheThing said my grammer was not my strong point, i would like to know where i could change, it so it easier to understand. I do try but thanks for the pm i very grateful.

Well yes your grammar isn't your strong point, but it's obvious that you are trying and we all understand what you mean. I think that's the most important thing. On the other hand while I can't help you with grammar I can try and help you with spelling. You should try to download Firefox, because if you use Firefox it has a built in spell check and it will tell you where you are misspelling words. It's very useful and even when I think I'm spelling everything right it catches things now and then.

No point in blamming yourself or anything, I think they knew you weren't serious, NEVR's been wanting to leave for sometime as we all know, and I'm sure Joshiwa has been planning it as well. They were going to leave eventually, wasn't going to be avoided.

Even if they were just looking for a reason to leave, it doesn't sit right that I gave them that reason. Had I not asked Phantom to review my rant, NEVR would have never gotten mad that Phantom is giving off the impression the EGB promotes flaming, and Josh would have never ran to NEVR's defense.

All I can really say on the matter, is I hope they come back, they brought much to the Barracks, and even if they don't, I'd still like to see them around the BBS, at least every once in a while. ^.^

I've already said this, but if they can't take a joke, or an unserious conversation, they shouldn't stick around. Sure, they brought a lot to the table for the EGB, but they just couldn't take the heat.

If you have at least Firefox 2, you should have it. Go under tools, then click on advanced. Under the second section (titled "Browsing"), there should be 3 boxes. The third one should be labeled "Check spelling as I type". Make sure it's checked.

If it's already checked, make sure you're using the right language, which is in the section right below Browsing.

Well... I don't really know what to say.

Seems like my disturbed week spread to the Barracks as well. I had a pretty tough week, and seems like the Barracks had the same. Lots of problems, flame wars, EagleRock showing up like Aslam does (when everything is wrong)... while I don't do anything. I feel bad about this, but I'll try to say... something.

First of all, farewell NEVR and Joshiwa. You both contributed a lot to the Barracks, with the roster, the nice conversations, the ideas... We will miss you.

Second, welcome, sir EagleRock! Even if it was just a quick glide through the Barracks, it's always good to hear from you and know that you're still flying around. =)

Finally, I'd like to say that, until the end of October or so, I won't be around a lot, because of various reasons. Hopefully I'll get back to my old form of posting every day here, but until then... a post a week, maybe.

That's it. Over and out.

Well I mentioned this before, but I wasn't here around summer because of all my responsibilities, work, and such. Now that it's school time I have slack time for NG again. I was active when I joined through the summer and because of that I haven't got a chance to get to know all the recruits from the summer, nonetheless josh took it seriously and I know you apologized, but I don't blame you for anyone quitting because people make there own choices. Just sayin add a jk or something, i mean it couldn't hurt.
P.S. I tend to post late sometimes bc as a college student q/ a part time job my slack time comes late (plus I was born in a family of night owls), so my posts might not always be noticed.

I have one question though. Let's say an NGPD member ranks up to Private, but has very poor post quality for example. Should I recommend them to Boot Camp straight away, or tell them to apply and see what happens in the discussion? I know it's not a big deal, just something I'd like to clarify.

Congrats, not a day goes by when you aren't snuffing out stolen flashes, so I'm sure you'll be a great Violations Officer.

Well, I must announce the news to the NGPD. Thanks again Slash for giving me this opportunity, I'll try not to disappoint.

Boot Camp---that is, tutelage by Advancement Officer Lotus---is only for members who are accepted, but need significant improvement in one or more areas. Thus, you should tell them to go ahead and apply. If their problems aren't too bad, they'll likely get accepted and Lotus-ized. If they're not ready yet, we'll tell them to improve a bit on their own before applying again.

Encouraging NGPD'ers to post here as Guardsmen is another good idea, so we can have an idea of their strengths and weaknesses before they even reach Elite Guard status---and can work on those problems as well, hopefully preventing them from having to be Boot Camp'ed into place, lol.

Yeah, I posted in the NGPD thread to give them the news, so as soon as they are aware of my position I'll begin to steer as many of them as possible towards signing up as Guardsmen.

Thanks again for clearing that up Slash.

That's nice man! Congratulations! I'm pretty sure will do a great job here. I really think you really deserve it: ). I have not been a NGPD member before applying. It would seems that it's a simillar club but for the users who are under Private.

The position of Violations Officer has been accepted by phantomlassuk. Nobody in the Barracks does as much as her to fight abuse on Newgrounds and she's earned the job. That does NOT mean that everyone else can just drop their vigilance, though---everyone is still expected to keep an eye out for stolen flashes, fileswaps, etc and report them here (with necessary details like original source URL's). phantomlassuk compiles the information for reporting to Wade, but she can't spot every stolen flash on her own---it's a group effort.

Nice, phantomlassuck is very good to find stolen flash, it's good thing for her to be the Violations Officer, congrats! For sure, I will keep on eye out of suspicious submissions and look for the original source.

Congratulations again to both of you !

I'm not 100% sure of it, because the account that submitted to Newgrounds isn't very recent. Plus, the flash isn't that good.

However, one of the Flashes says that it was made by "Wolves1877", and that isn't the name of the "author" here. Plus, the description he gave is pretty crappy.

Ok, folks I'm checking in a bit here.

Go easy on me. ie. Use lube.

I guess I'll throw a bit of an update for those who don't keep a close eye on me.

I got married in August, went on a Honeymoon and the whole months leading up to the wedding were rife with business because it seemed like not one day was boring, or at home. Weddings take more planning than I care for and for that reason I plan on it being my only one.

Anyway, to top it off now we have an EPT that has a little "+" sign on it so things are still a bit hectic.

Thanks you guys for the congratulations. I have got Firefox 3 and a mac i dont know how to find ,the spell checker my Mac is a PowerBook G4. My old one had a spell checker ,but this one does not seem to have one at the moment. Again thanks for the pm SlashFirestorm ,and i will pm Wade Fulp again with as many details as i can. On a sadder note i cant belive Hollywood Legend Paul Newman died, i knew he was sick but i did not know it was fatal.

That's amazing, a Newgrounder that has had sex with a woman. A true rarity.

No matter what, raise him/her as a boy. That way when you show him/her Newgrounds (when he/she is 13, of course), he/she will fit right in.

He was one of the best actors in the business, and one of the best people on Earth. He did so much good with his money, and his salad dressing was delicious and healthy.

Hate to say it, I kind of knew it's going to happen and I did it without buying to all the crap from National Enquirer, when you have cancer at that age it isn't good. It was from a thread posted abut a month ago, he'll be missed.

On another note, my last two dreams resembles films, one's a gangster/John Woo type film with the other is a tragic version of a Disney-type film.

Congrats Viper! That's awesome news! :D

Slash, I love your choice of words in saying one will get 'Lotus-ized' in boot camp, I'm not too harsh on a person though, assertive, but not an ass. ;)

So, with boot camp, will it be left to my judgment as to who needs it, will others appoint people they feel need it, or will it be a mix of the two?

That's the only thing I'm curious of at the moment, and well, I have no problem with how the people are chosen, as long as they aren't publically called out in an uncalled for way, and as long as they are accepting in knowing that I'm to help them, and while I might criticize them in some ways, it's not meant to be harsh, but to make them better posters. <3

Thanks, everybody for the re-welcome.

To sum it up, Yes my wife is hot, and yes I've had sex with a real woman. A human woman at that.

I read about Newman passing. I don't think I ever really watched much of his stuff, but he makes a eman salad dressing and his popcorn isn't too shabby, either. he will live on with us on the cover of boxes and bottles in your local Food Mart.

Let's see... Oh, YES! Watch this! I made it.

You will force them into a Lotus position. TAKE THAT HOW YOU WILL.

So, with boot camp, will it be left to my judgment as to who needs it, will others appoint people they feel need it, or will it be a mix of the two?

When we're discussing a potential new recruit, members will be able to recommend Boot Camp if the prospective is lacking in an area or two (but not lacking so much that they shouldn't be allowed in). Now, if someone is having problems, whether we recommended (rather, required) them to undergo an adjustment period, you can handle that, along with offering it to people at your discretion.

So yeah, pretty much a mix. I suspect most of it will be me telling people "yes, you're allowed in the Barracks, but unless these conditions", but there might be some of you or another EGB member saying "oh shit, we didn't realize how much this guy sucked at [this]", lol.

If the problem wasn't addressed at their acceptance, use of PM by you or another member can spare them from being called out in front of everyone.

Good work Sir-Nuts so stolen and two at the same time bastard!. The tell tales signs no other flashes only signed up recently, and the address did not match where they came from. On another note should you take any notice of stolen reviews ,accusing the author of stealing?. Does that make the flash worth checking?. I dont agree at all with abusive reviews, but it does make the flash seem suspicious?. Although it is not fair at all to write that if that's not true. I sent a pm to Wade Fulp but not heard anything as of yet, i dont think i will sadly. Still keep an eye on the user he submitted another game today.

Very nice, my own position, not the traditional one, I mean, I have to put my own twist on it. XD

Sounds good to me, I'm just waiting for someone new to come about, not really to hassle them, but just run them through the basics, let them know our style of doing things, and point them in the right direction with everything. :)

So yeah, pretty much a mix. I suspect most of it will be me telling people "yes, you're allowed in the Barracks, but unless these conditions", but there might be some of you or another EGB member saying "oh shit, we didn't realize how much this guy sucked at [this]", lol.

Rofl, I gotcha, so basically play it by ear. If someone is said to need help with something, or admits it, then I'll give the 'problem area' a look, and use my discretion at figuring out what should be done, whether it be just telling them the basics, or pointing out problems areas and attacking them head on. ^.^

If the problem wasn't addressed at their acceptance, use of PM by you or another member can spare them from being called out in front of everyone.

Sounds great, it's really something I would like to do with others over the PM system, as to not point out their 'flaws', and seem as if I'm waving them in their face. I would say something publically though under two conditions, one being if they ignore warnings and help to correct something, and persist in doing wrong, and two being if they just need a general outline of things. I'd like to give the outline publically since it will not only help new member, but also allow those here who may have forgotten some things, a refresher. :D

Well here is another obvious stolen submission, but it has already made it pass judgment. You may want to put it on your list so you can PM Wade about it. Also, everyone can mark the stolen reviews while it's there I guess. His author comments say that he stole it from a website and people still don't notice it? That just goes to show how many people vote without watching or even reading the author comments.

One good thing happened to me yesterday.

I finally entered the Top 300 B/P list! It took me quite longer than I expected, because of my semi-absence during August. I could've been there earlier this month, about two updates ago.

Now that I entered there, I'm feeling more motivated to B/P. I'll try to get around 300 B/P this week, something which hasn't happened in a while.

This is weird, lots of stolen Flashes were submitted yesterday. I counted 6 of them, plus a malicious one which spawned a battle-load of pop-ups. I didn't post it here because, when I was about to post, I got flagged. Hopefully the staff deals with that guy's IP.

What surprised me, though, is that some of the stolen Flashes passed judgement. I hope that Wade reads your PM, lassuk. What was the title of it, by the way? A good title should get his attention.

I have a feeling that This might be stolen. I don't like to flag unless I know for a fact that a submission was originally made by a different author, but it looks kinda suspicious. Anybody know for sure?
