Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Heh - the irony is (not that you'll understand) this April Fools joke has backfired, in that you may as well have been called "Numagrounds" for the past few months. I say "Numagrounds", i actually mean "Oh look kids! We've got Alien Hominid, ON A CONSOLE [WOWZERS] and Numa Numa Dance - aren't we TOO KEWL 4 SKOOL?".

Nice try Tom - now why not remember point 2 of your primer:
"Newgrounds is not a faceless corporation".

Could have fooled me! It's not like you said:

:"Haha, yeah really, although it's on there as Ebaum will take anything that's popular and stick it on his site. That's the difference between us."

Now is it?

Press is not always good in my opinion. Allow me to paraphrase KFC_Clock:

As usual, i see you are all very keen to somehow elevate the status of Newgrounds by using the recent publicity of a movie that has been featured here. Sigh...

Don't get me wrong - you've every right to publicise yourselves: it is your website, but do you really have to keep doing it month in and month out? Then if that wasn't bad enough, you go off insulting other websites (e.g. Ebaum's World) that have the video on because they also latched onto the popularity of the movie in order to achieve publicity - let's face it, the only reasoning behind such derogatory comments as: "...Ebaum will take anything that's popular and stick it on his site. That's the difference between us."

Anyway, i'm happy for Garry and wish him success in the future.

Where's my badger and why does NG hate me? AHHHH I'LL EAT YER BADGER MEAT WHOLE YE BUCKANEER.

ENGAGE!

Where's my badger?

P4Host are very good, reliable and cheap.

For the domain, i'd suggest 123-Reg (if you live in the UK)

Terrible metaphor. So in your opinion, we should all conform? Ohhh, sounds good. NG is based around not conforming to trendy media.

I'll admit - i was fired up at the time i wrote the reposte, and the metaphor was far from the point - but essentially, i want to know why a significant majority of NG users want to proclaim works such as "B" and "Pimp Phone", which obviously took less than three minutes to make, but yet are quick to stab the knife into entries where more effort has obviously been demonstrated.

Can you please explain why you put this on the frontpage, and then appoligised for it? Would it not be, say, easier to REMOVE it from the frontpage for something of more worth?

Best. Flash. Ever.
You've been here for a while, just enjoy the joke by the Fulps. It's their website, they are allowed to have fun with it.
Besides, most users have a good enough sence of humor for it.

I never implied nor stated it was not their site - i merely replied with my opinion to a topic which has been created for just such a purpose.

Or is it that NG has finally just become a place to pitch Alien Hominid?

It has? It seems the same to me, except the banner ads have changed from hentai to 'AH' ads. Is that really so bad?

There are four refernces to Alien Hominid on the front page alone. Yes, i do realise that the Fulps wish to promote their game, and rightly so, but if it comes at the cost of quality of front page submissions (keeping in mind that this is an opinion, and NOT fact), then i am utterly against it.

Don't defend it, please - or if you do, let's all defend terrorists - because hey look, they don't conform!

Same old, same old - "all talk no action". No offence Wade, i really do appreciate you taking some action, but you keep posting these "from this point forward don't be naughty or we'll GET YOU", and then seem to be doing nothing, because not less than six months down the line... along comes the same old message again.

Those of you who live in the UK may recently have seen a Panorama documentary, which showed how the Church was condemning th use of condoms because they may spread HIV.

Within this documentary, high ranking Priest's used unprooven theory that demonstrated that one in a million condoms had a 15% chance of transmitting HIV. Thus, from this evidence, the Church are now advocating that we do not use condoms.

Is it just me? Even if the Church's facts are correct, then there is an 85% chance that a condom will NOT transmit HIV - surely even the Church can regonise that 85% is higher than 15%? Moreover, according to the Church, there is a 15% chance of HIV being transmitted when using a condom - but if you were to follow there advice, and not wear a condom, there would be a 100% chance of HIV being transmitted.

What do you think? I am going insane, or am i justified in saying that condemning the usage of condoms is unjustified and could be classed as a crime against humanity?

Try getting window.opener()/opener(), window.close()/close() to behave in Firefox/Firebird in the same way as they did when implemented into earlier versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer/most other browsers that support javascript 1.1.

Technically true, but i don't see what you mean by the window.close() object - the only difference is that in Firefox/Mozilla (gekko engine) it will let you close pop-ups, but not full windows with all bars - which kind of makes sense really.

It is great that you have taken it off, but really Wade, from the previous "bitch-a-thon about new voting system topic":

The problem is it should work with those browsers, but some of them aren't complient with current web standards. So people who use a browser that isn't complient with current standards may have problems, and that's the fault of the people putting those browsers out
Bullshit - IE is the LEAST standards compliant browser of all time, and yes i do know - i have been cross-browser developing for years. If you smack some code up, i guarantee that if it works with Mozilla, FireFox and Opera it will not look the same in IE. Bitch at me if you want, but prove me wrong...

I get the same problems in Mozilla Firefox, the box comes up, but the parameters are "invalid". Yes, i know, i should try it in IE, but frankly: I refuse to make my PC a spam-badger. Nothing personal against NG, or liljim, it is just that i can never ever ever trust a pop-up, nor ActiveX scripting component, so i am afraid i won't be voting for a while, which is a shame, because B really needs to be blammed but anyway...

Hope you sort out the problems soon.

I knew there was some kind of obvious error to it, although i am new to PHP and don't use MySQL much.

/End-n00b-crying

Just in case you are interested, here is a fix to my original fix (if that makes sense). I hope it works for you:
<?
$host = "localhost";
$user = "eternalrpg";
$pass = "password";
$database = "database";
mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($database);

if($login_check > 0){
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
foreach( $row AS $key => $val ){
$$key = stripslashes( $val );
}
echo "You have successfully logged in, $username";
}
} else {
echo "Login incorrect!";
}
?>

I think i have the fix. Please keep in mind that this example works ONLY when the username is hj and the password is hj - to change this, change:
$username = "hj";
$password = "hj";

to:

$username = $_POST['user'];
$password = $_POST['pass'];

Where the <input fields would have the name 'user' and 'pass'.

//Fixed code:
<?
$hostname = "localhost";
$username = "eternalrpg";
$password = "password";
$database = "database";
mysql_connect($hostname,$username,$password) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($database);

$username = "hj";
$password = "hj";
global $username, $password;
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM EverWorldMembers WHERE username='$username' AND password='$password'");
$login_check = mysql_num_rows($sql);

if($login_check > 0){
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
foreach( $row AS $key => $val ){
$$key = stripslashes( $val );
}
echo "You have successfully logged in, $username";
}
} else {
echo "Login incorrect!";
}
?>

It'll probably be sorted soon...just like after everytime it does go wrong, and inevatibly...soon there'll be another hundered odd threads about it.

I'm not bitching about it - just saying and confirming that it wasn't just a problem at my end, or with my ISP etc.

I love Firefox personally - whoops the ass from IE and doesn't allow auto-downloading of spyware. It can be buggy though, but as it is still in alpha/beta stage, you really can't complain too much.

Anybody else get this problem? I get the same problem in both Mozilla Firefox and Internet Exshi**er:

I have been saying that for years - but you try getting people to change from IE - like trying to tear a baby away from a Candy factory with Barney inside...

Mozilla is the answer people!

The reason for that is because XP is built from the NT architecture, and uses the NT File System - just thought i'd help with some of my geekiness :p.

As for spyware problems, i have a very simple solution for all of you, to stop spyware infecting your PC:
1) Get Mozilla Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/)
2) Install
3) Port your bookmarks from IE over to it (just go to the appropriate page in Firefox and bookmark it)
4) Set-up any other options in the Tools->Options menu
5) Enjoy surfing the web pop-up free and spyware free, and in my opinion, faster and better than before!

Oh, and there is the optional:
6) Kneel to the floor and promise to all the Gods of all the religions that you will never use IE for as long as you have to.

:p

I have just learned that Micro$oft *may* have taken "the finger from the arse" and are now going to include a Pop-Up blocker for Internet Explorer as part of the next Service Pack (although how many people download those updates...).

Read more about it at http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/53/36500.html .

Quote:"The Service Pack will also add a pop-up ad blocker to Internet Explorer - the most requested feature according to Rebecca Norlander, Microsoft's group manager for XP SP2 - and a download manager. Norlander said that pop-ups are increasingly used to "dribble" spy ware onto users' machines. Giving users granular control over whether they accept pop-up or ActiveX controls from particular sites is therefore a significant security improvement to IE."

I'd still recommend Mozilla Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ ) though - but at least now there is hope for those who use IE.

:D

If people never installed pop up blockers, or used browsers that blocked them, we whouldn't have all these problems. Even f'ing ISP include software to block pop ups. It should be ILLEGAL. It's like buying a TV that blocks TV commercials.

I run Ad-Aware and Ad-Watch (pay version). Ad-Watch stops all the malicious installers, but lets the clean pop ups through.

What the hell kind of logic is that? Would you apply that analagy to pre-1950s Europe? The reason why Hitler tried to dominate Europe was because he simply couldn't do it legally, so thus the legal system is to blame?

Dude, i have nothing against NG - i love it, but for the love of god please don't stand up for pop-ups. Anyway, who actually clicks them? What purpose do they have - 99% of the time people close one as soon as it spawns, and net novices soon learn to use Alt+F4 if necessary.

There's my opinion, feel free to criticise (i get used to it...).

Why not use Google AdSense? I get a good return rate, and i run a small shitty hotspot site that barely anyone knows about - if you did it on NG, you'd rake in the money - and then of course give a share to me :p Nah, just kidding,

I'd gladly miss that money for all the quality content on NG.

Such a happy worls i live in - SARS, War On Iraq, Death, oh and constant bitching on a 9-page topic of pointlessness from page 2 onwards!

In the interests of not pulling my hair out and eating it, here is a SIMPLE RULE to follow when voting that will keep you OFF THE S-LIST and ensure your account is NOT, I REPEAT, NOT deleted:
Vote by how much Quality you think the submission has.

If anyone wants to bitch at me then send your complaints to:
I AM CURRENTLY REVISING FOR GCSEs
10 Piss Off Lane
The World
Mianus, USA
99999

That's a great idea! If you want to clear the crap and make a better NG, you have to clear the exsting crap out - otherwise new authors will think "Well they already accepted crap, so mine will be accepted too".

By the way... when I saw the movie Aura, I didn't like it and voted it 2, and in my review I gave it overall 3. It's in the top 50... was that too low for what the movie is? Let me know and if I must I'll be more careful.

This is what i have been saying and everyone has been taking the piss out of me for it! For fuck's sake! History is all fine and so, btu movies like B are crap and do not deserve to be in the db. Revise the voting system and CLEAR OUT THE CRAP!

For all you NG history-phobiacs who want B to be kept, just imagine if the Six O'Clock news was still talking about World War 1 today!
