I plan to give a quick update for the special update later on. When it comes to getting stars for perfect depositing, you'll get your very first one when you've obtained it once. It will no longer go by consecutive perfect deposits. Anyone that falls into runner-up will get a forward slash symbol to suggest half-successful. If you get two of them, they will bump you up to a star.

My advice: The very first thing you do on the internet for the day (possibly after checking your emails) is to deposit your damn experience. How is it I've done very well for almost 8 years now? :P

Also, I like how the list is updated the day before I level up.

The strange thing about you is that you've somehow gained more EXP than one usually can get within 28 days. I can understand +290 but when I see +300, I'm like "How? Magic? o_O"

I too missed a deposit during the redesign, but most people did so I don't really mind. The main reason for my gold medal is that in stead of being screwed by unreliable friends I own a 'smartphone', so I can deposit whenever/wherever I want to, even when I'm on a trip in the middle of nowhere. Gotta love modern technology! =)

I've yet to upgrade myself to a smartphone. I should for various purposes but I'm so lazy to sort myself out. I can't fault my depositers at all since they've always been reliable and even on the one day when I couldn't go online at all, it was a relief to find out I was indeed deposited for that day.

Actually, the deposit rate on the special updates is still the overall one and not one that considers the last 12 months. The 73.71% deposit rate is still accurate.

Should have waited just a little longer to update because Valfire just turned 60.

Too bad these updates are marked on a certain day of the year. Shit happens to us all for these updates.

Actually, make that quick update to the list now as I experienced horrible errors further down the list. I'm surprised that wasn't caught on until now.

Ah ha, yes, yes, yes! I see. It all makes sense now. I had indeed thought the % rate was for deposits in the last 12 months. What a bummer. A total bubble burster.

Yeah I've done pretty much the same thing for the last couple of years. My daily routine starts with a cup-of-coffee and a few minutes behind my computer before I go to work/do whatever. Even at times I didn't really care much about NG, depositing my experience has always been the first thing that's on my mind whenever I start my computer in the morning.

Unfortunately, people I've asked to deposit for me in the past never seemed to understand how important it is for me. Of course I can fully understand this, as it's kind a weird favor to ask of a person. When I'm on a trip I never miss the internet, but depositing my experience is just a necessary (small) part of my day, I think most active depositers feel the same.

I'm best addressing this now rather than saving it for tomorrow. Due to recent problems with the stat pulling program, the next EXP update has been postponed and so have the other updates until the fault has been resolved. I don't know why but the stat pulling program died on me all of sudden on Thursday during preparations and it hasn't worked since. Whether it went wrong on my end or on Newgrounds' side, I am not entirely sure but this of course has been passed on to byteslinger so hopefully we can get back on schedule soon enough.

I'm assuming it's not on your end, that the problem is on Newgrounds end. The site does not seem to be updating on a daily basis. Just as an example, this

haven't changed for a few days either. So I guess if the site doesn't update, then there's no way your stat pulling program is going to get the correct numbers right?

Hmm, considering Auz was able to post the Reviewers update yesterday, I'm going to guess that something has indeed gone wrong on my end but I don't know what exactly. I suppose a fresh reinstall could do the trick but I don't have the install file on me right now. byteslinger will no doubt have the installation files.

Oh yes indeed, I was able to pull the update just fine. Well except that for some people the art review stat didn't update and the program returned a 0, but I've had that problem a few times before already so it's nothing too unusual.

I don't know which version of the program you have. I'm actually still using byteslinger's 3.0 beta version because the alpha version didn't work for me for some reason. So if you still have 3.0 beta installed maybe try doing the update with that one.

Looking forward to the next update when it comes.

Newgrounds seems to have updated itself finally after a week or so of seeing the same thing almost everywhere you looked. Maybe you should try your stat pulling program again now Bahamut. I know you said in regards to my previous post that it wasn't the problem, but you'll never know if you don't give it a try. All those things I pointed out in my previous post have now corrected themselves and it may have been the cause of your issues after all. As you know, I'm no expert. Just saying, that's all.

I've given it another try now and it's still in the same state as it was since Thursday. I'll wait for byteslinger to provide me the install file so I can reinstall it all and hopefully have the program back and running.

Hmmm! That's a bummer. I thought for sure that since everything on NG had finally updated properly, all would be well at your end with your stat puller. Oh well, guess we'll just have to wait. *sad face* Thanks for at least giving it a try. Most appreciated.

So, are we still getting an update this month?

I'm still waiting on byteslinger to get back to me on the installation file. Hopefully then I can resume all stats work. The next B/P update could be missed out at this rate. Even if I do get whatever fucked up the program fixed for me, I'll be having a busy weekend so I'll only manage the B/P update. Also in this case, I'll be postponing the next EXP update to 19th August which still puts me on the 4-week schedule.

I got an intriguing response from byteslinger and supposedly what the staff may have changed is what she actually wanted them to do in terms of managing the program on her end. The issue is being looked into right now so we should be back on our feet within a few days.

On an additional note, usually lack of patience is something I wouldn't tolerate but Painbringer's question from before does make me aware that some users here are very enthusiastic with these updates.

I'm not impatient. I just hate waiting!! But seriously folks, if The Olympics weren't on right now I would be suffering from major list withdrawal. Now if either The Aussies or The Brits could get some more medals all will be good.

Same difference, nes pas?

Yes, I'm well aware that the Aussies cost your goal of medals in the Men's road race, according to Mark Cavendish. Hell, he knows more about the sport than I.

At least we can look at an older list and work from there, correct?

I just caught up on the last few updates, haven't been very active on NG for a while. I've been good with deposits this year, but for some reason I missed four in February. Oh well. Onwards and upwards is the only way I can go, still plenty of inactive people above me. Thanks for doing these :)

We'll be back this Sunday!

Awesome. Can't wait to check it out.

I know my EXP Rank is 981 and by what the NG log has told me I went up quite a few ranks.

EXP update #54 is FINALLY available!

Hello all and welcome to the 54th EXP update. The little hiatus is over and done with and I really have to establish that byteslinger really is a saviour for the stat puller. Not only did she update the program to work with the redesign, she also took care of the issue with the program I had just a few days before the original scheduled date for this update. Now that the woes are gone, it's good to be back in business.

NEXT UPDATE: 15th September 2012

144 | Auz | 27,140 | 50 | 560 | +3

Three ranks up in these almost two months of no-updates. Nice! Looking ahead of me I see a bunch of inactive users I've never heard of before. Gaining another bunch of ranks before the year ends shouldn't prove too difficult.

Thank you very much for the update Bahamut! Good to see you're back in business. Also, thank you very much byteslinger for taking your time to fix Bahamut's program.

Thank you very much for the update Bahamut.

The advantage of having not much experience is that I do gain a lot of ranks each time. 125 ranks between two update is something most of the people that post here can only dream of! With a rank gain like this I'll be #1 in only 1,8 years!

Okay, that kind of hurt my mathematical side.

Apart from the two deposits I missed while I was on holiday I can't remember what days I missed my deposits on. Ah well.

And it's almost been two months since the last update.

BTW, I think you forgot to put in the 4 year special update at the bottom.
