This is spam. I am merely trying to get this topic to fulfil its name. Please ignore this post.

My real name is BEhrooZ.

Since primary school, people have called me Bez.

When I enter my name in any computer thingimajigie that allows over 5 characters, I like to use Bezman.

I now use that name many places.

I have found that after your vote is worth 5.00 votes, your voting power increases by 0.01 each time you submit your points. The reason? Probably because if it continued to increment by 0.1, eventually users would have ridiculous amounts of voting power.

Now Bezman, You say that your power didn't increase after 5.01. That happened for me as well; right when they were having some problems with the site (sometime in January, I think), there were two days when I submitted votes, and my voting sway didn't go up. But, it's been increasing as expected since then. I guess it happened to everybody ... maybe Wade or Tom or Ross could compare yours or my points (or anyone elses) to the number you or me should have, and make an adjustment or two. Give them a shout ... it's worth it to know what's going on.

Anyway, keep voting, and your votes will continually rise in value (except when there are temporary website problems ... but those can always be fixed).

I thought no-one would ever reply to my threads!

My voting value has actually increased since making this post - now each of my votes is worth 5.15 votes.

So, you're basically saying that the voting power of anyone above 400 exp is 5+((e-400)/1000)?

So my votes should be worth 5+((620-400)/1000) = 5+0.22 = 5.22...

So you're suggesting that these 0.07 'missing' votes are not because of a more complex system than you believe, but a result of the server problems?

Hmmm... I might try e-mailimg Ross.

If he replies, I'll post what he said up here.

I use Microsoft Internet Explorer only, and have never experienced any problems like what you 2 are describing.

The moral seems to be that Tom loves Microsoft and so has made NG love IE.

It's not as ludicrous a notion as you might think - remember how he was going on about making games for X-Box?

Yeah... but what percentage of break-ins does that 50-60% of criminals realise?

I don't really think that puvlic interest will die just like that considering how long it's been on the cards for.

I'd agree it's definitely more important for the final game to be as good as possible rather than being rushed just for the sake of getting it out.

That's not nice. He laughed at the 9-11 event in the NG BBS on the day of the terrorist attack. There was a campaign to get him banned. He started that now infamous Anime Girl topic.

Granted, I allow freedom of speech (to fourchinnigan), but that is pure f-cking bullshit what he did.

Look, this whole suggestion is almost too stupid to believe.

As someone once said in the political bit, you can't approve of free speech, and then demand or even expect that someone should be punished because of something they did.

It's pure outright hypocrisy.

And surely it'd be a bit fascist if NewGrounds were to only allow a certain type of belief to exist within the minds of the NG members.

If NG banned people that mocked the 11-9 events, then that would just be total idiocy.

What exactly is the relationship between mocking the plane crash and NG anyway?

If they cause havoc on NG or break the NG rules - fine. Give them a warning or ban them.

If they have controversial beliefs that offend many people...

...well, isn't that what NG was about in the first place?

I haven't noticed as big a difference as I was hoping for... so I'm kind of hoping that the server is yet to be changed.

If it has already been switched, time will tell how much a difference it makes.

Otherwise, good luck.

Like ray, I too could not access NG at all. It was horrible and I hope this won't happen again.

Is there really no server which can be afforded which can cope with the traffic of this site?

How likely is NG to become speedy and reliable within..say, the next year?

Good luck guys.

I want to make better games, as I'm learning heaps of new things everyday about flash4, but I am stuck with the dilemma of changing to Flash5.
I'm kinda turned off from changing over, because of the harder and more confusing coding involved.

Would it be really worth my while to change to flash5 and just learn the harder code?

p.s. im not that good at coding.

I may not be the best person to answer this, but I'm gonna answer it to the best of my abilities.

Basically, FlashX is a version of Flash i.e. they're similar, if not identical. I understand that the changes made from 4 to 5 wren't so much to achieve better reults but to go a different way about doing it.

If you can make great stuff in Flash 4 which you'd need Action script to do in Flash 5, then don't bother. If you're not even that comfortable with coding, then It's probably more important for you to stick with something you know. Also, there are loads of tutorials still available for #4.

Having said that, when 6 comes out, that should have some funky features, and it'll be closer to 5 than 4. So, it might be good to move now and only have to make a couple of little jumps, rather than one big jump.

Ultimately, it all depends on how much you know #4, how much time you invest in Flash-using and whether what I've said is actually at all true.

Hope that even a modicum of that was of any help.

You're making a great mistake in assuming that this is at all sophisticated, when the real truth is that it is simply a pile of nonsense, which may only be accessible if you delve into the mind of someone who utters such nonsense.
