Don't worry, it's pretty easy :)
If you want to get on irc, you should install a client first. I use mIRC which can be downloaded from here. Then you can follow this step by step guide to install it.

If you need any help, feel free to ask!

Well, wait no longer, because the IRC server is up! Feel free to join and have fun!

Great! I'll try to be there whenever I'm online :D

Thank you very much Eagle. I would like to accept this position. I think I am ready for this, since like you said....I am active in both of the clubs. Thank you very much for letting me have this position :)

I'm sorry to see you go Rohan. However, I appreciate that you chose me, and said that i would be a good replacement. Thank you very much. I won't let you down :)

Congrats! You are pretty active there so you really deserve it. And as Eagle said, you are the perfect person for the role :)

My sister will be hosting Thanksgiving this year. We'll have about 28 people in the house, and we will be eating from 10:00 AM until we all pass out from tryptophan overload.

28 people? Lots of food and drink? Now I really wish I lived in the States, that must be great! I hope you all have a good time, I'm pretty sure you will!

So today I came across this article. Basically, it explains how Memento, which was developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, will allow users to search the webs past.

So for example, I joined Newgrounds in 2007, but I will be able to see how it was in 2003. Or if I want to, I can see how Wikipedia started. Here is a demo that anyone can use (I know, it takes a whiiiiiiiiile to load, I've been doing some searches while typing this and they haven't loaded yet).

So, how do you feel about this? Is it cool? Useless? Both?
If you could see how ANY website was in the past, which one would you choose? Why?

Since you have a garbage whistle, you cannot flag Flash submissions anymore.

Really? I thought that people with garbage whistle could flag flashes too... Weird... Anyway, EpicFail, since now places like Rage's thread don't exist anymore you'll have to go review hunting by yourself. Try to always look in low-scoring flashes (including the turd of the week), submissions by groups such as the DD or anything that can be considered hateful, and things that some people don't like (such as Foamy or anything that a certain group might dislike).

Anyway, if you have any doubt, we are always glad to help! If you have a question concerning reviews, you can always ask them in this thread. Happy flagging! ;)

I'm resigning as the Chief Barracks Officer of the Elite Guard Barracks.

It's sad to see this happen. But as other people have said, if you don't feel motivated to do this then there's no reason why you should still be the CBO. And anyway, you'll still be around if we need you so you won't disappear completely :)

As my last act as commander, I make the following decree.

EagleRock, should he choose to accept it, is again instated as Chief Barracks Officer.
Phantom, should he choose to accept it, is again instated as the Lieutenant CBO.
RohantheBarbarian, should he choose to accept it, is moved from Emergency Command Officer to Second Lieutenant CBO.
And lastly, I will place myself as the Emergency Command Officer, in the event that balrogs kill all of the above.

Nice choices, this guys will probably do a great work :)

Hey that's pretty weird. I wonder how he managed to upload a file over 10MB...

Also, classes have finished over here. That means that I won't have to go to school for some months and I won't have any major responsibilities. So I will have more free time, even though surprisingly I have a life and I will spend time doing other stuff besides NG (so I won't be here 24/7), but I will certainly have less things in mind and I will spend more time coming here. And who knows, maybe I will FINALLY get around to B/P'ing again.

I intended to post this earlier but for some reason my internet connection is going really sloooow now :/

Usually, important stuff or things that I need to use frequently go on my left pocket, so that's where I always have my cell phone and money (if I have any). I use my right pocket for my keys.

Probably the audio you submitted years ago broke some rule. Was it an original song made entirely by you? Did you use any preset sounds?

And yeah, if you were banned, probably you didn't receive any warning.

You will get that automatically. The problem is that the Google staff has to deal with too many people, so that's why we can't all invite people at once.

@SlntCobra: I have scoliosis too. But it's barely noticeable so I won't need a surgery.
@EagleRock: Even if I haven't posted in the forums about your story, I've been reading it (along with Byte's) and it's great so far! Keep up the good work!

Also, I'm now on Google Wave. Is there any wave about the EGB going on? Every member should eventually get it, it's awesome!

Sometimes thread are just deleted instead of being locked, maybe because there is no reason for it to stay in the forums. And threads don't disappear, if you can't find it, it was surely deleted by a BBS Moderator.

Be sure to read the BBS rules before posting ;)

First, I can't sleep. It's more of a intermediate stage between being awake and asleep, and I'll pop out of it every once in a while.

Second, it feels like my nose is constantly stuffy, like i got a cold. The only problem is that I can't blow my nose because it'll hurt like a bitch, and I'll break all the clots, which means I'll be bleeding like a woman.

That's pretty bad, I would hate not to be able to sleep :( As I said, good luck with your recovery!

I watched the looooong video yesterday and it looks awesome. I think that every group or business could benefit from it, even if I still haven't tried it yet.

Basically it's where the Wi/Ht? regulars hang out, even if the thread is not really active. The regulars are those people who are active in this forum. To become one, you need to be voted in by the current regulars. Just keep being active in this forum and we'll notice you (or Bahamut will, whatever, he's the one who does the hard work). Elections are held monthly.

There's also the Wi/Ht? memberlist, which has the most prestigious members of this forum.

Welcome to michelinman!

Ha, it looks like there were three ties in the potentials list. Anyway, congrats to michelinman and Hacsev who got the most votes. While Hacsev didn't make it, he sure had a nice amount of votes so I think he may enter the list soon.

Comments:

Congrats to zimzap for passing 50,000 total points, reverend for passing 25,000 total points and KrevZabijak for passing 20,000 total points.
Congrats to byteslinger and KrevZabijak for gaining over 3,000 total points.
Congrats to all who gained at least a rank.

Congrats to you all! Especially to byte and Krev, whose pace is amazing. The most active people are women... The internet has gone crazy! Anyway, Byte will be reaching the top of the list soon, unless she becomes a member before that happens.

Happy Halloween!

Hey guys, have you watched all those [oo halloween] flashes in the portal? Apparently the Owl Orchard is just attempting to flood the portal. Watch out for any possible rule-breaking flash.

Also, sorry for being inactive for the last few days, it's just a matter of time until I get fully active again.

That's because you can change the portal layout in your account changes. So, if you think that the old layout was better, you can still use it :)
You just need to change your portal preferences.

Happy birthday! Have a nice day, and find many idiots :)

Yeah people who upload those kind of flashes probably don't know that this website actually hosts ORIGINAL content.

In other news, it looks like Adam Philips will release a new Brackenwood movie by the end of November. Read more about it in this thread.

Also, today I accidentally got a cut on my right thumb while cooking. It isn't serious, but five hours have passed and it still hurts. I'm such a pussy...

It looks great IMO. I was expecting something more... Orange but that would be too similar to the normal layout, I think the staff did a great job. The header is awesome.

I think the whole "missing numbers" thing happened when they made the wide layout. As far as I know, it only happens on Firefox. I think the staff knows about it (I'm pretty sure that several people have complained about it), but I guess it's not that important.

Check out the computer hospital, there's a lot of useful information about free software in the first posts.

This is not the same, because people who use "u" instead of "you" do it on purpose. It's not a grammatical error, it's pure stupidity. That's worse as they are being stupid on purpose, I hate that >:(

I am aware that I make typos rather often, but there are some that really bother me. "To" and "too" is one of them, but I can't stand the "your" and "you're" thing that some people do. How come they can't get it right?! Same as "their", "they're" and "there".

Account's names from both websites don't match, and neither the information does. We should report this to Wade. Who takes care of it in this situation? SoulMaster71, because he found it in the portal? Or me, because I found the original one?

If you haven't already done it, I will, but I'm warning you that I really don't have a good record of responses from Wade.

I sent a PM to Wade earlier today. I think that even if Wade doesn't always respond to the PMs, he always deletes the flashes sooner or later, so it's all good :D

I wouldn't be too upset. I'd argue that as long as we're talking about the members and their own individual personal events/whatever, we're really technically on-topic. I mean, as long as we're keeping on the general topic of B/Ping, Newgrounds news, etc. with the occasional side-discussion therein, we're golden.

My thoughts exactly. Sometimes we talk about some unrelated things but we still catch abusive flashes at the same time, so there's nothing wrong with that, because posts here are never spam.
