Honestly, that's not right. Just because you're a Mod doesn't mean you should be getting a free get out of a jail card -- It should be equal. :C

It can be reported and dealt with though if necessary. I remember SCD was "stripped of his modship" a few years ago for that topic about women.

What advantages do affiliates even get now?

Mods

Whatever happened to blackmarketcraig? He was a regular, then he became a mod and he seemed to vanish. Is he still around the art forum? I remember some of his creations were superb.

Want to be a mod?

I remember when i first joined NG and i wanted to be a mod, just to have the same sort of respect that mods are given around here (particularly flash forum mods). I would still like to be a mod, but i think you need something about you to be a flash forum guardian, john had his amazing games constantly, blackmarketcraig was a great artist, luis did a ton of good of work for NG, i think it's good that we have mods that have really worked to get to the authoritative state that they are in, rather than just having the biggest post count or level (luis :P).

they get blue names. thats it. its just a leftover feature from the old days... they used to be able to have front page posting abilities but that obviously changed when the new redesign came about. Affiliates isnt really as big of a deal to the site as it was when newgrounds got started. chhchchchaaanges

Then I'll never understand how i don't get banned anymore; all of my days are "one of those days" lmao.

Damn. They should at least get shinier profile pages or something :/

Dead Set

Anyone else watch this? I just finished the series. It sounded like a weird idea to mash zombies and BB together, but it was actually a really good idea. Pretty scary, extremely satirical, and one of the few instances of shaky camera that actually did well in what it was trying to achieve instead of just looking like a cheap and annoying directors trick.

Charlie Brooker is now well up in the top three on my 'Top people in the world right now' list. He was already pretty high after the last five series of Screenwipe.

Dead Set

Have you seen the complete amazing viral site? It's totally fantastic!

Glaiel-Gamer is an affiliate. And I miss that cat with the sword.

I think the Flash forum is much more tolerant than most forums, since the mods who come here (you, kirk, kayn, jmtb..) all know the regulars and like you said you are more likely to turn the other cheek in some cases. The general forum however couldn't ever be like that since the topics in there are so random in the first place they need to be strict on any rule breaking they see because it can so easily slip under the radar.

I don't think any of the "flash regs" would ever purposely spam, post indecent images or anything else pointless like that.. it's just slight off topic comments at times, in here and other topics, and other things but small and passable.

Alsoooo!!! look, it's a mouse! In a broooom!!!!

Ya affiliates get no special powers nowadays besides the ability to get 40 PMs a day asking what an affiliate is or asking me to lock a thread (which I can't do).

And really you guys are angels compared to some other places around this site.

The Flash forum is general has been much more chill these days anyway. There's been virtually no troublemakers around for a couple of months and I haven't had to ban anyone for a while.

NOT THAT I EVER DO LOL

Medical Problems 101 W/ Sean Ruediger
Remember a few months back, maybe around May -- I talked about having a Kidney stone and all that jawn? Well, guess what? There is another problem. Woo. I've been getting lower abdominal pains on the left side of my body, and they were descending down to my left testicle and I thought it was another kidney stone...

Actually, I headed to my family doctor and I got checked out and the guy told me, "Take some advil, you'll be fine. Nothing's wrong." When in reality, something was wrong. Fucking quack. So I tried advil, and the pains continued on, so I headed to the Emergency Room a couple nights after.

Turns out, I got observed and I have a hernia. So now, I have to get surgery and I'll be out of school for 3 days. I have to wait for an appointment ot see the surgeon, than WAIT for the surgery. Ugh. This pain is really getting unbearable.

I didnt invent them, i actually went through this with tom, cause he was rewriting the history of newgrounds pages... the actual FIRST collab was one amongst the clockcrew..

Anyway if anyone is into the shape spam youre cool today. It wuz fun.

Zrb, you are 1/1,000,000 people to not fail apparently. Almost all 30G Zune's died about a week ago.

The only thing really preventing me from making a collab is the fact that there are so many. XD
Also, I'm making a game. Watch a teaser, it is the basic turret defense game, but it will be, dare I say, an intense turret defense game. We are at the beginning of the project, but we would appreciate suggestions=D

If you have ideas for our game, please tell us.

bai

Been working on some concepts for a new physics platformer game im working on for a group project at uni.

The setting is meant to be a dream world, what do you think? Is it a bit... plain?

Decent res version

Happy shape day everyone!

The artwork is great, but as you said the theme is a teeny bit plain for a 'dream world'.
Don't think i'm saying it's bad though, i like it. :]
