You know what, shadow?
Yes, trust belongs anywhere you want to put it. I think it's wonderful that you're such a trusting human being, and it's sad that someone had to take advantage of that. But don't let it jade you. Don't let it make you stop trusting.
If nothing else, learn from this experience. Don't be afraid to trust...but be a little more guarded. Anonymity over the internet has been used against trusting people over and over again...I'm sorry it was used against you. But don't let it get you down too much. :)
As for the girl that lied? She should be ashamed of herself. I'm not sure if she's on this BBS or not, but if she is...I hope she reads this thread and feels awful. People on the internet aren't just text and binary code. There's real feelings on the other end, and sometimes people forget that. I hope SHE has learned a lesson here, too.
Again, I'm sorry this had to happen to you. :) Rest assured that not all us girls are like that.
You know what? I didn't even read all the posts in this topic before I had to post. I'm sooo very amused.
See, the thing is...I've never seen animal pr0n advertised on Newgrounds, anywhere, in the ads. And I'd like to point out a possibility as to why.
When you visit pornography sites, it places cookies in your computer. It sits there, saying, 'HI! THIS IS WHAT I LIKE TO LOOK AT.' So, when you get to a site like Newgrounds that has ads all over...you see the ads that are tailored specifically for you. I'm not sure if this is the way NG works, but if it does...
Doesn't that mean if you see animal pr0n ads, you've surfed animal pr0n sites...or something equally as taboo?
Yes. Child pornography is disgusting and wrong. I think we can all agree to that.
What that has to do with animal porn ads in your browser, and not in mine...? Nothing. I just wanted to point out: Heh, whoever said they saw animal porn ads...I can't remember who you are. But I believe you dug yourself a hole.
Thought I'd add my thoughts.
Being diagnosed with manic depression (also known as bipolar disorder) doesn't mean you're hopeless, and it also doesn't mean you need medications to be normal.
I'm 25 now, and a while back I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder, and was put on a nice potpourri of meds. Now? I'm not on any. I solved the problem with therapy and spirituality.
This, of course, isn't the case with everyone. If you've been diagnosed, or suspect that you might have any sort of mental instability, PLEASE see a doctor. I'm assuming here that everyone can tell the difference between a normal shitty day, and being clinically depressed, or manic.
There's several websites out there that can outline the symptoms for anyone concerned about themselves or a loved one. And I'm walking, talking proof that no one can get better on their own. Therapy, with or without meds, is vital.
That's about it. I know serious stuff like this is sorta glossed over here on the NG BBS. But hopefully this helped one or two people who might have read it.

hehehe, *smooooooch*
It's rediculous, I think. Though, I'm finding NG to be more and more of a...eh. Irritation, really? Not enough to make me take off, but it's irritating.
For example. I posted a topic last night about the use of 'gay' or 'fag' as an insult. I think it's wrong to use, personally, because it's hurtful to people who are indeed gay.
I point this out? I get made fun of by olskoo. Not really made fun of, I suppose...but I think, because I put my thoughts together in a manner that sounds mature, he said I sounded like a 'mom' and that I was funny. I didn't see anything funny in me saying, 'This hurts people. I don't think doing something that hurts people is cool.'
My point: THESE FORUMS DRIVE ME BATTY. Seriously. No one can see simple logic, OR a simple point. Everyone is striving so hard to be 'right' that they can't step up and take responsibility for their actions. It's not a HUGE deal, no. It's posts in a forum. But how many of these kids actually use those words as an insult in real life?
Sorry, just a short rant. I'm frustrated. *lol* But I'm over it now. :) Have a great day, all.
And Ryo? Keep us posted on if you get any more emails.

No. You wouldn't dare. Because it's NOW seen as a hateful insult.
Calling something or someone "gay" is not always a slur. You must analyze the context in which it is said. If I called a whiny person "gay", I could possibly implying that he is being a sissy, or pathetic.
And the whole racial term for a black person is a red herring. We are talking about the term "gay" and not the "n" word.
Thanks.
I'm NOT going to move this anywhere. Over and over and over again I see people using 'gay' or other variations as an insult. People HERE in this forum need to see this. Not just the people that post in the politics forum.
And using the 'n' word is no such thing.
People use 'gay' as an insult the way our ancestors may have used the 'n' word as an insult. They didn't think anything of it then...but now? They do. YOU may not think that calling something 'gay' is an insult, but all you're doing is feeding into a negative stereotype.
Not every homosexual is a 'sissy'. Nor is every homosexual effeminate. So, sorry. But you're not going to argue your way out of this one.

You're so clever. I'm about to BURST, your wit just got to me so. And...I don't have a WANG (that's for _shadow_) so I can't be a 'fag'. I'm also not a cigarette, which is also called a 'fag' in some places.
And _shadow_...heheheh...

I appreciate that, actually. This is a personal thank you from me, to you. :)

No. You wouldn't dare. Because it's NOW seen as a hateful insult.
I'm going to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and believe that exactly what I mean is clear. If It's used in hate, it's hurtful and NOT NEEDED.
Treat others as you'd like to be treated.
I'm SOOO tired of people posting 'you're gay', or 'you're a fag', while trying to insult someone.
This is just a newsflash:
WELCOME TO THE 21st FREAKIN' CENTURY!
Every time ANY OF YOU use that as an insult, you make yourselves sound like close-minded bigots. This is supposed to be a time and era of understanding and equality...not hateful slurs and bigotry.
THINK BEFORE YOU POST.

I can't tell if you're being a smart ass, or what. Forgiveness? From me? Hell no. I can't stand the way so many little kids try to act like tough shit on these forums.
Try being a little more compassionate. Try to be a little less of a moron. And come to terms with the fact that ALL WRESTLING IS FAKE...then we can talk.
Do those 'teasers' have redeeming value?
Yes.
Do they deserve a vote of five?
Personal preference. Who the FUCK are you to tell everyone how to vote?
And last, but not least...'a fucking fag'?
What's the matter, you little homophobe? Does being GAY scare you SO MUCH, does it hit SO CLOSE TO HOME, that you have to throw around hateful slurs to make yourself feel better?
BEING GAY IS NOT AN INSULT. By calling ANYONE a 'fag', 'queer', or calling something 'gay' in a derogatory tone, just makes you sound like a close-mided BIGOT.
I am, by the way, a woman. This is coming from someone OTHER than the gay community. Find something a little more intellectual to use as an insult, and maybe people will take you seriously.
Idiot.

Wow. 'It's all fake except Austin.' That's possibly the funniest shit I've heard in a while.
Seriously, man. If you think you're hot shit because you're talkin' smack and pushing people around verbally...you're not. You trying to impress the girls? Right. Take it from a woman. YOU'RE NOT IMPRESSING ANYONE, YOU LITTLE SHIT.
As for RyoHahn? He rocks. In fact, Devil_Knight_whatever, he's twice the man you'll ever be. Quit acting like an infant, and move on. That's my advice to you. If you don't? We'll just automatically assume you're trying to overcompensate for something. Probably your hidden homosexuality, or maybe the lack of girth "you know where". Grow up. Throwing insults like that on a forum, especially in a thread where RyoHahn has people to back him up, is possibly the most moronic thing you can do here. Heheh. I needed to get that out. Thanks for being my verbal punching bag!
Btw, Ryo. How are you feeling? :) Hope you're doing better. *grin*
Hiya there, guys.
Just thought I'd say a quick hello, and give all my buds a hug. :) There's no way I'm gonna read through the past...oh...I dunno. Three pages or so if it's all the same BS from people who try to flame us. It'd either get me laughing so hard I couldn't stop...or I'd feel the need to respond, and I don't wanna be here thatlong.
I adore all of you BC-ers! Hugs to Qj and Ryo and whoever else is out there but I didn't see. :) And a special smooch for ramagi, just to get the guys going.
Buh bye!
I'm sorry, but I can't help but post this.
ANYONE who is suicidal needs professional help. There's no two ways about it. No ifs, ands or buts. There's no excuse for NOT getting that help. None.
It works, it's necessary, and it's rediculous not to. Suicide is a selfish, silly thing, and while you think you're taking away your OWN pain, you're causing all sorts for other people.
GET HELP.
Man...I hope you're not hoping to impress any women with this.
I'm a woman. And I can't imagine why any girl would want to be with you if they heard all that. *lol*
First of all...hon? This is from one woman to another. This probably isn't the best place to be asking for thoughtful advice from guys. ;) _shadow_ is one of a few that might put some thought into this.
Then again, I might be proven wrong.
As for the rest...you asked for guys' opinions, so I'll just leave it at that. :)
I can't help but laugh at a lot of them. Especially Saul. AND Frank Rizzo. That guy cracks me up!
Another one of my favorites:
"My family is SICK, my family is DYING, AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT -COUPONS-?? I'll KILL YOU!"
I about wet myself the first time I heard that one, I laughed so hard.

Well, you've sorta got to expect some heightened emotions, and frustration.
I hope we can all just put this behind us. K? Can't we all just get along?

This very well may be considered spam, but I HAVE to point this out: Do you know how FUNNY the word 'wang' is?? Any idea? It never ceases to crack me up. It's fun to say, it's a not-too-crass way of talking about the male...uh...you know what...and yeah. It's just easier than stumbling around words for that particular appendage.
It's also catchy. I never have to tell someone more than once that I'm "wang-less". It seems to be rather memorable.

*dies laughing* Actually, man? I'm not a 'him'. I'm a 'her'. I'm completely and utterly without wang.
I'm a girl.
I think I might put that in my signature. My name IS slightly androgynous. It's a title of a book, so...it's not like it's feminine or masculine or anything. So...yeah. :)
GIRL GIRL GIRL! HER HER HER! I'm a girl.
Now that that's taken care of...I knew what you meant. :) No harm, no foul.

Nah, Wayne. :) It's not hate. It's just a little tension, and frustration in general. With the problems we had with the boards, to the attacks here on the NG BBS, it's easy to lose your temper.
Frankly, I think people who post links like Beebo to blam? They're just attention seekers. They know better. They're just being childish.
I think it's a given that there's going to be some angry people in the BBS, now that the BC topic is going to survive. We all just have to keep our heads up, and our attitudes good. I KNOW it sounds cheesy and cliche...but it's true. If we let them get to us, we'll just look like big assholes. :)
We don't want that! Because we're NOT! *lol*
Just had the urge to point out the painfully obvious.
Irregardless of who he is, Wade has every right to say whatever he wants to. That's the beauty of it all.
Also...there's over 100,000 Newgrounders. I highly doubt telling one that he has no life is going to affect the membership numbers, OR his job security.
The rest? He took care of himself. Go ahead. Say more stupid stuff. It's funny to watch Wade out-wit you.

Okay, if it's all working correctly (which is should be, but we've been having technical difficulties), you should be able to look down the list until you find your name. This is on the front page of the BC. And if it's not there, it will be sometime soon. :)
To Deimenor:
Activity level is actually something you control, for the most part. We have a thread in the BC forums (there's a link to it from the main page), entitled 'Blammor Updates'. You can register and post there, telling us about your levels (activity, exp, all that good stuff), or you can post it here. That's why we're so glad this thread can stay open. :) It's a place for Blam Club members that don't want to register for the forums to be sure their info is updated in the club roster.

Insult? I think it's a bit of an insult that we try to offer logic, and we get the same argument over and over again. None of our points are taken into consideration, and if they are, you certainly don't tell us so.
It's frustrating to try to explain ourselves, only to have the moderators offer only a few lines of the same stuff. Please...read over what we said? And actually pay attention, rather than glossing over it and saying the same thing again.
