and I wasn't Bitchin, I was making an example.

And while I'm all for helping each other out, This Dude holding his hand out for numbers , when other people have done it the hard way just pisses me off, plain and simple. Just as he has a right to ASK for stuff, I have a right to my own opinion.

At least till Wade takes that away as well ^_^

But i do want to help. (that was kind of the point of my post. that we should all help.) No one has to help jibjab if they dont want to, but a lot of people are trying to help even though they dont really know anyone at a tv station.
Jib jab isn't offering a shirt. he's offering a car :-p. While i dont take that offer seriously, i do believe if someone got him in contact with someone who could really make it happen, that he would do something for them, especially if he got the tv show.
And... if someone gives him a number, you think all of a sudden it's the easy way? It's not like his dad is the owner of a major tv station or something. I mean, you said you've been trying for 8 years. Is the only problem you've had with it just that you dont know who to talk to about it? He's just asking how to contact the people who make the decisions. Just asking how things work. I think that's a perfectly reasonable request. Why not just say "hey, i'd like to know who to talk to about that too"?

What the hell is wrong with you, Mind chamber? Besides mentioning that he seperated with his wife just LAST NIGHT, he hasn't done any complaining at all. You on the other hand are basically just bitching about how you haven't gotten a show. I do understand the thoughts that you should do your own work to get get what you can get, but it's not like he's asking anyone to do his flash series for him. And to say he shouldn't be asking for something as simple as a phone number, while you're asking people to design robots for your game, is extremely hypocritical. And this is coming from someone who entered some robots into it! (I hope I'm not hurting my chances of winning. lol).
I just think that everyone on newgrounds should try to help eachother out, and lift eachother up, rather than trying to knock eachother down and climb over them on your way to being successful.

I just wanted to confirm that, and clarify a bit... I'm pretty certain that the mail filters were set by aol as the default, so when they gave us the option, or when we upgraded it, the mail filter was set with most of us not even realizing it.
So anyway, anyone with the mail filter on can check their spam folder (just under the list of mail in the mailbox), and of course you can go into the spam controls and uncheck the filter. It's a terrible filter anyway. I still got a bunch of spam when it was on (and i didn't realize it was on), and then it sent a bunch of different e-mails i was expecting to the spam folder.
Anyway... i dont know if it's fixed for ng now, or not. If not, maybe you should try talking to someone who works at aol about it. Maybe they can put you on a list of allowed mail or something like that.

I dont think i'm ready to do another one. I ended up taking much longer than i wanted on the last one. I really wanted these to be something i could do fast, almost like a time trial. But i just dont seem very good at making flash fast, so right now i think i just want to work on my series. Maybe i could just try making it faster, or maybe we could do it later... i dont know. Is there another way to contact you than just in here?

Notice that there are a lot of people who haven't seen the movie saying they think it has no plot, and they think it's all about evil robots revolting? ... They dont know what they're talking about. There is story, and it's not robots revolting.

***SPOILERS - If you haven't seen the movie, whether you plan to see it or not, i suggest you dont read this, and go see the movie***

I loved I Robot. So... what exactly didn't you understand? Anyway... there are the three laws the robots must obey. First law is that it must protect humans, and cant hurt them. The other laws of course are only valid if they dont conflict with the first law. But what happens when the first law conflicts with itself? The robots generally saw things more immediately, as the people did. Protect people, and maybe do a calculation to see the chances of saving one and the chances of saving the other, to decide which to save. All of it just cold logic of how to follow it's rules. Will smith's character said to save the girl, but he had a better chance of being saved, and even though the second law is to obey people, it couldn't break the first by harming the person with a better chance of survival.
So then there's the main computer, which can uplink with many robots. With it's greater computational power and access to all the many other computers, it sees the first law on a larger scale. One of the biggest threats to humans, are ourselves. In order to obey the first law on a larger scale, saving the lives of many many people, it must take charge and impose curvews, and such. It's not like it has the bill of rights programmed into it or anything, so our freedom and happiness are unimportant to it. At least... unimportant compared to the few lives that would be saved.

You keep saying you do good deeds all the time, but you haven't given any specific examples, and i think we all want to hear some. So... what? Community service? Maybe you help out in a soup kitchen or something? ... Help a kid at school from being picked on? Those would all be good things, and I think many people would be untrusting of someone who likes to do those kinds of things a lot. Like there must be something in it for them or like they think they're better or something. And that's a pity that people would make it hard to try to help in certain situations.
But... When you say you smite evil, and help the weak, as if you're some warrior chosen by god to do great deeds, it sounds pretty damn childish, and a bit crazy. We all like to think we're something special, but cmon, be realistic. There's a reason when you say paladin, everyone thinks of D&D, Diablo 2, and the holy crusades. Because paladins are medieval soldiers. And you talking of it like that really sounds like delusions of granduer. But hey... a lot of great people have been seen as crazy.
So anyway... right... any specific things you've done to help people and "smite evil" that you'd care to tell us about?

Alright... Sorry for taking forever on mine, everyone. I was being really lazy with it for about a month, but i'm pretty done with my part after i add a few sound effects. It's not perfect, but it's got some really cool looking stuff in it.
So, blessing... I haven't seen you online in a long time, and i forgot your e-mail address. Mine is DifferentName13@aol.com, so e-mail me and we can talk about it, and i can send you my battle, or something.

Well, i dont really see how they can trade mark "teen" and "adult". I'm pretty certain "general" was used for movie ratings first. Has diaper, has pubes, ect, was hilarious, but i dont really think it would work well.

Are you able to talk to him at all? Do you even know if he's still working on it? I think battlegrounds things just wont be as good submitted seperately, but... wtf? it takes him 4 weeks longer than you? I dont know if i could have waited that long.

Here's what i love about this new system... If your stuff is getting blammed, you shouldn't be making so many so fast. So... your stuff gets blammed and you have to wait two weeks to submit another? Spend all that time making the new one better, so there's a better chance that it wont get blammed like the others did.

Blessing and I are still working on ours. We thought we would be done sooner, but hopefully we'll finish sometime soon.

Your comments are a bit childish, but, in trying to see things from your point of view, I assume that we must have offended you somehow. I think I missed that post though, can someone catch me up?

Well... he was challenged by a piece of crap (which i believe was charity). Then i said he's not worthy to battle a piece of crap, and then he used his alternate account to say he's the best ever or whatever bullshit like that, and someone else called him on it, so he threw a fit. But he keeps coming back as if to see if we miss hm or something. Like we're going to see his new flash and wish we stayed. Poor guy is so out of touch with reality.

Who the hell are you people who like piconjo? Some of the graphics in piconjo jam 20 aren't complete crap, but the flash is still one of the worst things on newgrounds. I dont even know how any of that passes judgement. Is it just because he has a lot of crap in one submission? 20 seperate animations that would get an average score of about .18 on their own, add them all up and he's got his 3.65 right now.

Yeah... i haven't seen you on lately... I guess i do use aol less once i get into playing a video game alot... but i still seem to be on a lot. not sure about usual times i'm on... i guess i'm usually on when i wake up about 1 or 2 pm pacific time. ... And i'm usually on 11pm and later... other times throughout the day too, but those arent as predictable.

And I cant imagine how any piconjo flash would stay on the portal, without many alternate accounts, and loser friends to vote 5 on it. This stuff is terrible.

Yay! Thanks NoExcuses for helping to make him feel unwanted. After he made those two posts so close to eachother, with penis muffin basically just agreeing with everything piconjo says(he does that a lot doesn't he?), that pretty much proves they're alternate accounts doesn't it?

Can it get any more pathetic then penis muffin, and his favorite "artist" piconjo? They (he) reperesents everything that's wrong with newgrounds.

Mine is taking longer than i expected too. After i might just want to start on eternal conquest episode 2, or maybe do a time trial if they start those again. ... I really need to learn to use more short cuts in flash, though. So anyway, i'm in no hurry to do that one soon, but we can talk about it later.

There's some stuff in here i'm not too fond of, but piconjo is pathetic, and is unworthy to fight the peice of shit. You dont deserve to do newgrounds battlegrounds.

Can you do that?

I had no idea i was so popular. :-) And yes, i'm doing a battle with blessing now. Not sure when we'll be done, but i might be doing one with quelantaro next, and i've also got other stuff i want to do on my own, like continuing my series. So that'll probably be all of the battlegrounds i'll do for a while.

Some of you say it's hard, and it does take a while to good with the controls, but i've beaten it many times now, cause it's been fun the whole way, and it's actually too easy for me now.

You've been done that long and he's still not done with his? Do you even know how far along he is?

Did anyone even say that having a flash portal is a rip off? Obviously there's nothing wrong with having an automated flash submission system on a website. But they steal a lot more than that in those sites. The entire lay out of the site seems almost identical. I dont know that much about the laws, but copyrights cover more than just the exact script.

That was not a good music video. It was more like a damn slide show. If you like that so much, i bet you'd really love picture galleries. I, on the other hand, like to see some animation. Sure, the anime was nicely drawn, but none of them had anything to do anything. So, yes... it was really that bad. Worse actually. There are barely any redeeming qualities in it whatsoever. Good drawings, sure, but that's nowhere near enough to make it good flash.
