It's suspicious looking alright. I found it on another site here, so it would appear to be stolen at first glance. Sadly though because this isn't a "big" site there's not much to say definitively that the author on NG is not the original author. The email domains don't match up, but I don't think that's enough.

What set alarm bells off for me was the username, but seeing as Monolith is already taken up (a 00 user who's done NOTHING) it might just be him using an available alias.

Yes i think your right look at the author profile http://pinutk.newgrounds.com/news/post/2 00873. Its looks like he is stealing games i will blow the whistle, i dont think its made by him.

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.

Back to the not so active Portal!

The name of the stolen game is Ragdoll VolleyBall http://www.bubblebox.com/play/sport/1152 .htm. I think in answer to Corky52 i dont tend to put the name of the game ,in the header but only the link maybe that would be better. The user http://maccymacle.newgrounds.com/ I saw in Rage's thread this morning Acid posted the link, but I saw his profile and I could not make out. If it was his or if he took it what do you think?. Now in regards to my grammar do people mean my spelling or punctuation.

Here's another Mario game posted by the same guy. I don't know for sure if he's stealing these, but the way he presents himself and "his" games really tells me that they're not his. I'm flagging it this time. >:/

I'm also marking it Metal. I played that game a long time ago here on newgrounds. Here is the original game. Whistle blown.

I can't believe I missed all the stolen flash, could've used the points, but oh well.

Not that I ever approve of stolen things being submitted, that's just utter shit, but flagging them does have more than one benefit. :D

Lol, yeah it but it means that the portal is getting poor ... I'm not saying that all submissions are shitty but I'm impressed by the number of spammy submissions that pass trough the portal. All these spammers mass vote on their flashes and it's getting very hard to blam a submission :P. Though, why are there so many stolen games/flashes these days ? It's really strange.

Comes to find out why I've been sick and tired all of the time lately wasn't only from my cold, but it was also from my staff infection, which was giving me a nasty fever. I'm going to get it taken care of today, even though it's stops me from working out this morning because I can't be in the weight room spreading staff around to everyone.

I agree, it could be for a number of reasons tho. My theory is there are a few more stupid people in the world then there were a month or two ago. The fact that it is getting harder to blam flashes is a big problem tho. Then some members are going to start picking up bad voting habits just for the save point.

Yes, definatly :S.

Yeah it's stupid because you can earn points blamming a submission. But I think they mass save for two reason : it's easier to protect a submission than to blam and because submissions are twice as many protected than blammed (these two things are linked).

I'll do what I can to help more...

Well, mass voting on the part of spammers really isn't the issue.

I know for a fact that with the KK, and the SS, they don't mass vote anything to get it through the portal, nor do they proxy (some members of the KK did do this, but it wasn't supported by the group). So the real issue is people vote on something because they'd rather have another save, than vote on something for what it deserves.

With the stolen shit, people seem to want attention, and will do anything to get it, even if it means stealing something.

Sounds good, I don't have much time there due to me working, trying to get things ready for the future, and well, I'm sad to say I am facing a bit more things to do first and foremost before I can come online and relax.

The portal is glitchign for me, and it says I've voted on stuff I haven't. A few people in General are saying the same thing, anybody know what's going on?

Yea I just got that problem and I was like what the crap. No IDK what going on, but they will probably fix it soon.

I first thought my friend had started b/ping while accidently on my account.
Quite a lot of stolen flash these days too.

I must of missed most of the stuff going on with the portal and the rest of newgrounds today as I've been out all day and the time that I have been in I've been studying, but when I just came back I noticed that no new submissions were being submitted. Oh well, I'm sure whatever it is the staff will be able to fix it. Also, I noticed that I said I had a staff infection even though I noticed the spelling mistake now and I realize that it's staph. I had it taken care of today though and the only thing I can't do is workout until it clears up.

You guys seen the changes made to the display of the left hand side of the flash pages? That's probably why we couldn't vote earlier.

Yeah, it's pretty cool I guess. What I really like is the fact that you can now not vote on submissions until after you have loaded them. That won't slow down people from voting a certain way too much, but it will at least slow them down a little.

Let me take that back. It was like that for a little bit, but I guess it was another error because people can now vote before they watch the movie again. I guess even after they watched the movie and it completely loaded they still couldn't vote on the movie so they had to change it back to the old way.

Yeah, I noticed that, they changed the voting delay then changed it back again. I had watched a flash all the way through and the voting pannel was still grey even after the flash was done. 0.o I suppose they were having some problems with it or something and changed it back. :/
I do love the changes, though. Seeing the user avatars makes it a little less blah. The addition of the genre is also a great idea. I've only seen one flash with the genre of "Spam" so far. lmao

That would explain why maybe we could not vote, I was very worried something was wrong with my mac. It was annoying getting that message though. The new icons are weird but I like the the author picture strange, but like the reviews you soon get used to it. Wish my mac would stop fucking about sound struck again, no reason It just freezes. Really pisses me of as I hate when the fucker does that. The spell checker is annoying as well.

Not much going ontoday so I decide to let you know that my cousins lost their cat, they told him not to come out since you know what butchers and peddlers in mainland would do but he went out anyway and was taken away. It's believed that he may have been...well you know...

It certainly makes them easier to pick out. I've seen 3.

I've seen two: one by ConradB, and one by n0ise. I'm almost annoyed that the admins decided to give that level of legitimacy to spam movies, but hey, their site, their rules, and I'm sure they have a good reason for it. Plus, a little here and there keeps things interesting. Lets me know that everyone I used to know isn't dead yet, which was a problem during the summer.

Oh wow, that doesn't sound too good at all..

I worked all day, just getting home not too long ago, and I've decided to turn yet another leaf, and am proud to announce that I will be purchasing my own car very soon, within the next three weeks.

I am sick of shelling out money for gas, depending on others, and feeling as if I can't make plans to go anywhere or do anything, unless I first ask another if they can help make it possible.

So, fuck it, I'm taking out a loan I will probably regret taking out, and going to get a car. I'm getting a used one of course, and as long as it's in good mechanical condition and runs like a charm with no problems, I'll be getting it. Exterior is nothing I give a fuck about though, I'm not big on looks in the matter of a car, it gets me from point a, to point b, I don't need to make a 'statement' in the process.

So, expect to see a bit more of me when that happens, since the main reason I am not around, is due to me going one place with a person, and ending up going to multiple places. :/

Me too. Took me completely by surprise though, I logged on and was like "WTF?" but now that I'm getting used to it

The addition of the genre is also a great idea.

I completely agree. "Movie" and "Game" are much too broad, so this helps to specify a lot better. Take my flashes for example. There is little interaction, just a few buttons but I set them as "games" as it was the closest match (I believe it says "Game/INTERACTIVE"). a

I then had people leaving me low scoring reviews because it wasn't a game (despite my author comments to that effect). Now with the addition of "Tutorial" to the genre selection it's much better and gives them no excuse to say that what they see before them is not what they expected.

I've only seen one flash with the genre of "Spam" so far. lmao

I saw one as well. When I was fixing all my flashes to accord with the new design I noticed spam as a possible genre selection and thought it was a joke (a bit like the Elmer Fudd language selection on Google). I didn't think it would be taken seriously. Looks like I may be wrong.

I'm just wondering how many CD09 submissions will be marked like that :O

That's great, man. Just make sure you've got enough cash to pay for what comes along with owning your own car. Payments, gas, and the occasional repair job are all very expensive. :/ Will you have your own insurance policy? For someone your age the premium is through the roof. >:( I know as I was just there myself a few years ago. (I was paying like $250 a month for my own policy at 19-20 years old. No tickets, crashes, anything. Though it was cut in half after I reached 3 years since I got my license, thank fucking god)
Having your own wheels is a great feeling, though. You'll be asking yourself how the hell you lived without your own car soon enough. ;)

Hrm...That is true. Now that you mention it, I have seen submissions treated unfairly for that reason. This should help settle all that crap. Maybe they should make a "I know, it belongs on YouTube. stfu now" catagory..? XD

Corky could use it for his next flick ;p

Oh please that would be amazing if they had a THIS SHOULD BE ON UTUBE STFU ABOUT IT NOW category for me to select from. I didn't take a look at the categories yet, but I'm assuming there isn't a live action category in there. It may be something to suggest in the future I guess, but actually there probably won't be any live action movies from me... until the summer at least. Maybe sooner because the guy that I made them with is probably transferring to my college and my roommate may be dropping out to join the Navy.

Ah, back to being inactive again... I'll be back at the end of next week! It was my birthday yesterday, another real life level up for me, level 23 now :). My girlfriend treated me to tickets to the Bristol City- Plymouth match last night (I'm a big Plymouth fan), not to mention an excellent birthday cake!

She's here until next Friday, and therefore I'll be away until then making the most of having her around. Good to see the thread has calmed a little since I last popped in!

Good to see you back as well. I've noticed that a lot of people are born in September and hate the month of september as well. I like the month of september cause of my b-day and stuff except for school starts like a day after my b-day but yeah...
