Still making good progress here apparently. Looking at the crowd ahead of me I should be able to get more than two ranks up next time. Provided they will remain as active as they are.

Thanks Bahamut!

thanks for the update Bahamut!

within the list, i gained 18 ranks on the man, and 24 ranks on the alt. i also passed a 60% deposit rate on the alt as well, pretty decent month overall. within the system, i'm not that far away from the top 400, just nine ranks shy as of today.

i will also note that i missed one deposit during this past month due to me being out of town for my grandmother's 95th birthday. it was quite nice getting to see some of my relatives, and nice to see that my grandma is still doing pretty well despite being confined to a wheelchair.

i do have a question though, has any progress been made as far as highlighting deactivated accounts within the list?

Damn, these updates take so long to pull now and it's only going to get worse. I expect the program to be done at around 4:30PM and it used to be that I could get it done by 3. Ah well, I have to keep up with the growth of the list.

Does Ziltoid the Omniscient show up any time during his shows? I'm curious.

Well, he shows up on the movieclips Devin used for the live show. Does that count? It would have been great to have seen Ziltoid on stage, though, especially when he has a cameo in Deconstruction. I could wish for a Ziltoid setlist in the UK sometime but I feel Devin has spoiled us enough already with his Devin Townsend Project shows.

I'm 24 ranks short but I'm not giving up hope. I still think the top 50 is a huge stretch for me but at least now I can see myself reaching the top 100. Heh, a few years back I'd have been happy enough with being in the top 200 but now I'm in the higher tier of #101-200.

Make the most of it since levels 48 and 49 are the best you'll get with a boost in EXP rank climbing. After level 50, it's all dried up with inactive users.

I still need to speak to byteslinger about that. I can understand now won't be a good time, though considering December is a hellish busy month for everyone. I don't expect her to waste any time off for Christmas just to update the software to my liking.

EXP Update #46 is now available!

Hello all and welcome to my 46th Top EXP Update as well as the last EXP update for 2011. The year of the dragon will hopefully bring us the redesign and a new set of levels as a result.

NEXT UPDATE: 8th January 2012

Have faith, we will both get there eventually!

Thanks for the update, Bahamut - great stuff.

I've now ascended accoring to this list, so playtoy-animebastard has been Cooped, to allow me into the top 100. It seems like Ineritus and Evark are fighting over whom I get to pass first out of them, as they are now only 9 deposits ahead of me. Voidist isn't far ahead of that battle either, with the occasional miss becoming a more common occurrence.

Of course, there is always DekarKaine, who is losing points to me at an increased rate, so I might be able to catch him in a month or two, while the other battle shapes up.

Finally, I'm 580 points shy of 90th place, so that'll take a few months just to get to where Biofreak42069 is right now. Of course, everything will have moved by then...

No, not really - I've missed 4 or 5 deposits through the years (don't forget the bonus exp for signing up to additional things), but I'm sure I've not missed one for at least 5 now. Internet failures in the early days and so forth, I'm pretty sure that once I signed up, I wanted to have as much experience as humantarget, so now that I've passed him, I want to have more than Pimp, so that'll take a while...

Thanks for the update.

Hmm, it looks like my rank gain has been slowing down. I suppose my goal is to get into top 1000 next year, that should be pretty easy.

I am at 187, up 4 spots. :)

up 11 ranks on the main and 24 on the alt, not bad, though i did manage to forget to deposit twice this past month. the alt made level 35 not too long ago, and with today's deposit my main account i now have exactly half the experience points needed to get to level 60!

yeah, i understand that. i've been pretty busy this month as well with work and stuff, and i still haven't started my Christmas shopping yet so it's only going to get busier from here.

Looks good. How does it update? Manually?

Semi-automated I suppose. If I'm not mistaken Bahamut has a program that can pull the stats, but he still has to do some manual editing once the program is finished.

I don't think that I will miss a deposit anytime soon.

EXP Update #47 is now available!

Hello all and welcome to my 47th Top EXP Update as well as the new year. My time on Newgrounds has started well since not only this update kicked off with myself just reaching level 50, it always marks as the update where I pass humantarget52. I remember the days when he was #1 and now I knocked him down to #123. Will we see a time with the EXP updates when we talk about when Pimp used to be the top EXP user?

Unfortunately, 2012 won't all be good news since for all my updates on this site, I may have to do cutbacks and only keep the latest updates as well as any special ones such as the yearly EXP listings. More will be said about these changes later on.

NEXT UPDATE: 5th February 2012

Oh, wow, I went up 14 ranks, although I think it's 15 now, lol. Well thanks for the update, I hope there aren't many cutbacks, I like to see these so I don't want to see the effected too much.

Thanks for the update, Bahamut! I really enjoyed the EXP updates.

At 1/8/12 11:52 AM, Bahamut wrote: it always marks as the update where I pass humantarget52.

Yes, that was a milestone for me too, just like passing Fixit in b/p points. I think it's because we've been on this site for so long. For some reason, I still expect humantarget to be on top of this list every time there is an update. =/

Will we see a time with the EXP updates when we talk about when Pimp used to be the top EXP user?

The guy is so consistent, I think he will be #1 for many years to come. There is no guarantee though, it's always possible to get sick or even worse. He had discipline to deposit 99% of the days for over 12 years straight, so I don't think it's very likely he will stop caring about the list.

67 Ppk3000 30,010
68 RyanAn 29,996
69 gfoxclock 29,990
70 Nijsse 29,984
71 punisher1 29,980

Whoa that's insane. I was ranked # 75 for like 5 months, and now there are 5 users within 30 points? I hope to pass all of them before next update!

Another three ranks up? Sweet. It looks like there is only about a 700 points gap between me and the #150 at this moment which is more good news. I can see myself entering the top 150 within about half a year or so.

Thanks Bahamut!

I jumped 6 places and finally entered the top 200. It sure took a long time to get there. Anyway, I'm closing in on a few users, who aren't active or only deposit ocasionally. So I will move up again in the very near future.

At 1/8/12 11:52 AM, Bahamut wrote: EXP Update #47 is now available!

Thanks for the update, Bahamut - nice to see that something is going on up above me, that spells statistical doom for my rivals!

Voidist is a mere two deposits from falling into my clutches, having missed eight last month;
Evark is five ahead and missed four last time;
Inertius is eight ahead and missed one;
Dekar-Kaine is eighteen ahead and missed eleven!

While most of the next dozen folks are still managing to hit their deposits with regularity, I can also see ornery on the radar 55 deposits ahead and 14 missed means I may catch him before my primary targets.

Still, here's hoping that I can Coop Voidist quick and painlessly!

Hurry up, I'm sick of being #101

I'm working on it - that's another one he's missed, so now he's a maximum of 20 points ahead of me. The earliest I can make the pass is Wednesday morning, so stay tuned.

The ferocity of your experience quest sends ripples of fear through my waters. I don't care if I haven't missed enough deposits to be in your crosshairs yet, leave me alone you big meanie.

I think your profile pic sums up the response to the news that I'm chasing down users ahead of me quite nicely :P

EXP Update #48 is now available!

Hello all and welcome to my 48th Top EXP Update. Well everyone, if you loved the 2007 redesign level icons, make the most of them on this update since tomorrow Newgrounds will be offline to make way for the 2012 redesign and this will come with a brand new set of level icons. It's been stated the level icons will be smaller than the current ones so I'd say it'll do favours for the EXP updates.

NEXT UPDATE: 5th March 2012

oh shit son there's an update. getting real close to top 50 now, just need jolietjane to keep missing at her current rate and i'll be there, ooh, next month?

Another two ranks up for me. Still climbing, slowly but steadily. Ahead of me are two users who aren't gaining any experience at all anymore, so it shouldn't be any problem overtaking them.

Also, I'm slowly closing in on BlueHippo, very nice.

I'm glad that I reached level 45 before the redisign, and I'm happy I don't have to cope with the fucking Cupid.
Now let's just hope there aren't so many bad level icons in the upper ranks after the redesign. I never was too fond of the golden icons in the first place.

Thanks for the update, Bahamut and on top of that, thanks for all of your work on this version of Newgrounds.

I myself have advanced to 99th, having now Cooped Voidist for one more position. Evark, Innertius and DekarKaine are still hovering nearby, as I slowly reel in innphernoe and potentially ornery as well.

I wonder if I can catch a deposit on those lazy enough not to get in before the redesign starts and those that miss it being relaunched...

I was slightly worried that I might miss the deposit today. Turns out I still have 5 hours before the redesign happens, haha.
