Overall, I like it. One thing, I'd add a footer... Just to sort of "complete" the layout. It looks half-loaded without one, if you get what I'm saying. Other than that, me likes :D

People who use mochiads have like eCPMs of about $0.45-0.75. What gives? >:(

My guess is that, while AdventureQuest-ads sure are better suited for Flash games than "Write your name in glitter"-ads, the NG ad system needs more advertisers. I don't think I've ever seen anything else than AQ in their ads, and I think that most people knows what that is by now.

So, they simply don't click the ads.

Makes sense to me, something to note when I look for ads, and something for the NG staff to note as well.

Isn't the ng ad system set up through cpmstar? I'm not sure how it works but it seems like the ads that are shown is up to cpmstar, not newgrounds.

By someone I do in particular mean admins of NG or cpmstar, and they can do very much.

I too did bet on them, as the winners of it all, but since that odds was so high I only bet a few dollars and I don't really care about the loss of those money (I do care a bit more about the money that I could've won, but meh :P )

Write an email or a PM to Tom about the low payback on CPM ads and see what he says. Maybe you can encourage him to tell CPM star to raise the rates so that everyone doesn't switch over to mochi.

Basically, you just use getTimer and then a for loop.

var timer:int = getTimer(); for (var i:int = 0; i < 1000000; i += 1) something to test; trace( getTimer() - timer );

Those particular numbers thoguh are from this thread.

Hmm.. Don't you know Tom pretty well, I guess it's much easier to get a reply if you do? ;)

All bases belongs to the US?

Oh gawd, is this intentional?

I just saw this in the All your base r belong 2 us collection. It almost looks like all bases belongs to USA and not 'us'. Weird, huh? Or is it Tom Fulp's evil doing?

Well done. I was supporting Holland though so a bit of a shame they are out. I have only watched one or two matches the whole tournament though. Wish Engl-er-land were in. Oh well.

Well done :)
