Just hit level 63 yesterday on my Undead Warlock, fairly exciting. I'm a level 63 nubbikins though.

Hey guys, I just wanted to apologize for not being active the past week, but you wouldn't believe the shit that went down. The internet on my whole college campus was down for a week. The advantage was a lot of papers were postponed and a lot of classes were canceled, but I couldn't deposit for a week and I couldn't post here. I just wanted to let you all know I didn't forget about you all.

Did I miss anything?

Hit level 30 this morning

Well I finally hit my level up and I'll see what it looks like after I make this post. I guess I'm pretty excited because it means I've been on NG for a really long time? haha

Anyway I still haven't ranked up in B/Ps yet either. Should have about a month ago but due to time constraints I'm still lingering around 20-40 B/Ps away. That will be the next rank I aim for!

I think that death is permanent, and there is nothing I can do. And for the record, I'm not too close to my mom either, so the shoulder she'll be crying on will be my dad's. And please, don't take this like I'm a dick about it, it just doesn't affect me that much.

YOU'RE A DICK FOR FEELING THAT WAY MRFINLAND. GET OUT OF THE NGDD BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO FEELINGS OF REMORSE FOR ANYTHING. WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE LIKE THAT HERE!!!! (lol jk get it?).

But anyway, lacrosse started up intense style now with my coach actually attending the practices, which makes me involved with not only school and work, but my sport as well, oh yea and a girlfriend. But I'm not going to go all emo on you guys and write a song about it and slice my wrists, so instead I'll leave it at that.

2 more days until I level up...don't know whether I should be excited? Or upset? I wish they made the silver gauntlets later, which means I would have more time to spend with them, but hey a level is a level right?

BTW, DarkSoldier stop being such a terrorist with your big long post in the waiting. Just come out with it already man.

Pico was a game that was designed ABOUT a school shooting, but the type of shooter where you were not the killer, but the one trying to save the school instead. Sure it could be looked at as controversial, but only if the main character you played with was trying to shoot innocent children, but it was the other way around.

Club a Seal got more publicity than Pico did because tree huggers around the world couldn't find anything other than drilling for oil in Alaska to lobby for. Even the torture game took a lot of shit from the news, but I personally never heard anything at all about Pico getting singled out.

Nevertheless, when it comes to topics like that you really shouldn't be posting within them. I ALWAYS make sure to keep away from topics I know for a fact will get banned. I never say things like "in before 'rape her'" or anything because those a surefire ways to get yourself banned. To contribute to a topic about shooting up a school? You never know what kind of shit you can get yourself into for that.

Yup, Phantom has a point and it keeps coming up. I'm slowly working my way back into Newgrounds, and I know it's working because I am posting here a lot more often now. All I need to do is get back into the B/Ping aspect of Newgrounds because I've been hanging in the 200 B/P range of leveling up for about 3 months now....something I could have done in 2 days last winter, maybe even less.

Ahhh man this place has gotten quiet lately, but it's quite understandable since we're all back in school and it's getting tough to keep up. I give it by the end of September that this place starts really picking up again. As for right now I'm busy with lacrosse and school work, while trying to get back into the hang of lifting. I'm so out of shape that it isn't even funny right now.

I haven't given anyone one of my useless AnalPenguinFarming stat updates in a while, and I know there was just a point made about them, but I figure it's alright to let everyone know I'll be hitting the big 30s soon enough. 9 more days until I hit level 30. Unbelievable. It's incredible how time flies. It's almost like yesterday I hit level 29, which is my favorite looking level by the way.

Oh well...I'm getting old :(

Sure, you seem harmless enough. I'll PM APF with a note to include you in the newest Roster.

Yup, which I'm having a difficult time with since I keep forgetting about schoolwork. It should be done by tomorrow night. SHOULD BE. It's a pain in the ass with the back and forth on the list, but it will definitely be done soon.

How has everyone been doing? I personally am extremely busy at school. NG is finally starting to become an escape for me again. It was about this time last year that I made my return to Newgrounds and joined back on the Newgrounds Department of Defense. Just takes some time and getting used to after moving back in to college.

Well unfortunately I didn't get to post here when I did it, but I've finally hit the top 1,000 EXPers on Newgrounds, and I'm pretty proud of myself. It's been a long fight to get here, and now I'm happy to be here! Woot!

Damn, to be honest I haven't wanted to post in here lately because of what I've seen. We're turned into a shithole since this summer and it just isn't fun anymore. Now it's just members starting a flamewar with Phantom and Phantom firing back, and then members who were kicked out coming back and flaming, and then finally more flaming from current members.

Don't tell me this time that it isn't flaming, because it is. The NGDD is starting to go to shit. I don't care if people think I haven't been around enough or not, but most of the time I don't know what to say since I'm not taking either side. I'm not involving myself it internet name-calling.

Once great members of the NGDD, like you Neon (and I'm sorry to single you out), are acting childish and immature. I was fighting for you to come back and it almost lost me my position as leader here, which I thought was worth it to you.

Phantom, no offense to you but you're fueling the fire. You need to just contact a mod and have them banned from NG from coming in and being dicks. You're the top leader, and I'm 99% positive that out of the surplus of mods we have now you can find one that will listen to you and have someone banned.

I've always been really fair with you guys, and I'm not about to become Mr. Douchebag and start being a dick to any of you, but let's get serious...this shit has to stop. Everyone needs to grow up and start doing our jobs in the NGDD instead of fighting each other.

The only person who I've seen post anything that isn't flaming someone, but instead correcting them in the past couple of pages is TheThing, and it reminds me of how glad I am he's still a part of us.

From now on anyone who comes in here and flames, disrespects, or is a dick in general, will be banned. This way we avoid Phantom tearing someone a new asshole every single day, and we see it every other day instead.

I want to start seeing more intelligent posts here starting from this post forward.

If you guys wanted the information for the NGDD, I'm almost positive I still have it saved on the computer, but if you all think I don't suit the role of Commander anymore...that's cool too. I've been going through some rough shit lately, and I think it's only fair to ask the opinion of everyone here where I deserve to hold my position or not.

Oh and by the way, it's absolutely NOT my fault the account got hacked. There were 4-5 people who knew the password and if they though it wasn't tough enough, then they should have changed it themselves. I simply left it easy because I didn't think it was so simple to hack and account on NG. Now I know and wouldn't make the same mistake again.

Like I said though, my inactivity may be inexcusable to some, but I figured between my father having leukemia and moving into college, I would have some space to myself outside of Newgrounds. Especially after all I've done for this place in the past. But I'm leaving the decision up to all of you whether or not I keep my position.

If I lose my position, I won't leave the NGDD, but I certainly wouldn't like to be demoted after the amount of effort I've put into it to changing it and making it a better place.

As for jew and Supra, keep in mind that I still owe you two prizes, I haven't forgotten. I'll be sending them as soon as I get a clear moment to spend my money. I recognized how hard you worked for those prizes, and plan on rewarding you.

Thanks everyone for your time to read this, and hopefully you will all understand where I am coming from.

APF didn't come up with the conclusion to a lot of those XR's. Hybrid-of-Souls did.

I'd like to apologize to everyone but I've just moved back into school and it's taking me forever to get everything set up completely. However I just spent 40 bucks on a lava lamp that sucks bigtime. Oh well.

Man, guess getting out of being a teenager won't be as exciting as I thought.

Happy birthday.

lol, Not even a chance. No epic post, no epic achievements on Newgrounds. Sadly I'm just another noob to this website who has been here way too long.

Nah unfortunately since it's a Thursday nothing exciting is planned, but my girlfriend has lined up a party for me to enjoy myself at tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's wishes!!!

::sigh:: One more year until legal drinking age.

Yes Newgrounds, it's true. I turned 20 years old today.

I wanted to tell all of you the exciting news!!!

Let me make this conversation about inactivity much better from someone like me who has been notoriously inactive for a couple of days.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY WOOOOOO!!!!

Yup, 20 years old today. Who wants to touch me?

6,000 saves here. Not as good as 10,000, but getting there.

No I understood it was a joke sirtom, but it was just a bad time for a joke. I'm not trying to yell at anyone or point the finger. Everyone is entitled to joke around, but if I was in Phantom's position at the time I wouldn't have taken it as a joke. No hard feelings.

I didn't care about the Olympics much until today at work when I saw how incredibly sexy the American gymnastics girls were. I almost fapped at work. Those thighs? Sex.

Alright everyone, this is where I step in. Even though I couldn't have stepped in earlier because I've been working my ass off.

The flaming in the NGDD has to stop now. If anyone has a problem with the decision of a leader, you PM that leader, and if it's an insult then you PM them with an insult. This is starting to look like a shithole while all of the members are insulting the leader. Enough is enough. You think it's unfair? PM me.

Anyone who wants anything done, PM me with your problems, and DarkSoldier, Phantom, and myself will work out the problem. I figure that's as fair as I can get for you guys.

NeonFlame, and anyone else trying to get into the NGDD, you need to start PMing me if you're trying to get back in. Insulting Phantom isn't going to get you back. I like you guys, but insulting someone who is a leader here is definitely going to make your chances of returning slim.

If you think the way I'm handling things is unfair, then that sucks. This is the best way to work things out from here on. Through PMs.

Happy Clock Day btw.

Congratulations, you've found just about every virus of the present day. It isn't "half anti-virus" so I suggest you get rid of it. It'll probably wipe your computer out while you're still amazed by how it works.

Nah I don't need you to deposit anymore. And now I'll be working my way up to the next B/P rank, slowly but surely I'll make it eventually.

We still don't quite know what's going on with him, but I assume soon enough we'll find out in full whats happening. I'll keep you all updated.

Hey all, I just wanted to let you know that your Commander has returned and will be here with you for as long as he possibly can. I know you all are very excited, so please don't all cheer too loud. Phantom is trying to sleep.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been here pretty much...all summer but I wanted to let you all know I should be back. I only told the NGDD before leaving, but my I found out a while ago that my dad has Leukemia, and it was pretty tough to deal with. I'm almost positive I'll be back on NG now, and I'll make sure to catch up on the last few pages.

This is a nice little debate that I would like to involve myself in. There's a difference between a video that "should be" on Youtube, and a video that is ok for Newgrounds. We all know of the fabled Numa-Numa Dance, yes? Well Numa Numa (as retarded as it may have been) landed this guy a huge amount of fame, good and bad. The fact of the matter is more good fame came out of it than bad. It all started on Newgrounds.

Some video flashes DON'T belong on Newgrounds, such as "Let's Have a Party!" or anything by that little kid who danced to Freezepop and made the front page for it.

Does the fact that Corky is a respected user have anything to do with his respected scores on his flashes? Maybe, maybe not. We'll probably never know, but what I DO know is that it does take time to do any kind of work that gets the scores he's gotten, and I DO believe his flashes belong on Newgrounds, whether I'm a fan of them or not. Nowadays "flash" submissions are considered more that anything made in the Flash programs.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I believe in this case that there is no better place to get recognition (good and bad) for a submission other than Newgrounds. Youtube is honestly full of assholes, whereas here you can get better advice and the abuse can be deleted.

I'm willing to continue this argument. Peace.

Well I've almost hit the 9,000 EXP mark, which is quite the accomplishment for me. Even though I probably owe more than 100 points of it to Corky for depositing for me. It's nice to see everyone is posting here and being active, and also congrats Phantom on the level up. I'm still fairly busy, but I'm positive that I'll be returning to the NGDD soon enough. I need to sort out everything with colleges before I make my final return.

Thanks everyone...I appreciate all of your comments with concerns for my dad. If he understood what a BBS was or even what Newgrounds was...I'd tell him everything you guys have said. I'll be able to pop in here once in a while. I don't know if I'll be able to B/P much anymore or leave reviews, but I can definitely stop in to see how everyone is doing. I'll try to at least once a day to keep everyone updated, but I can't make promises. Thanks again everyone.
