I had to disassemble the whole damn thing to repair the screen hinge, as it bent and made the laptop close crooked. Also, the stupid hard drive started the "clicks of death" so I had to run out and get a new hard drive today. So, I'll be out of commission for a bit longer as I reconfigure the laptop on the new hard drive. I'll be installing Snow Leopard, too, but the migration utility should get me up and running by tonight.

That's what I get for being an idiot. First time I ever dropped my laptop. Feel like a fool.

As byteslinger said, it was an accident, don't blame yourself. Hopefully your laptop will be up and running soon, and you'll be back to writing some kick-ass stories ;)
Good luck with that!

Why have I come to this conclusion? Well maybe because I'm feeling down and want something to rant about, OR it could be based on two factors. The two MAIN factors that hold NG up high.

1) The portal. We all know about this place, a place of which shit ridden rot festing flashes get submitted by idiots and are attempted to be blammed, only to receive a huge amount of abusive reviews them for that flash to be deleted.
A place in which brilliant flashes get submitted like Tarboy, Portal defenders and various others. This place is dying....Ever so slowly. I remember the times when I could get over 80+ B/P a day....I sometimes can now, but the fact of the matter is that 7/10 times the things that come through are utter shite! This place is dying, the standards are at an all time low and people are just voting 5 just for the sake of it!

The portal is just like this in certain occasions. Just give it some time! Remember that there are a lot of people working on their Power of Three projects, so they aren't doing anything great besides that. Also, there is people working on their Madness flashes, and probably some are already working in something for Halloween. Besides, Talk like a Pirate Day was yesterday and we got some nice entries.

As I said, just give it some time. After all these special dates are over, I'm pretty sure that the portal will resume it's normal pace of submissions. Yeah, some of them won't be good, but that has always been like that.

2) The BBS. WEll we know that General is just one big mahoosive spam thread, but remember when we used to be able to have good discussions there? I used to have a laugh in there....Now I can't because I'm scared of getting my sorry ass banned!

I understand how you feel about not being able to have good discussion. And that's pretty much true because even if there is a discussion going on, there will always be some less-serious posts.

But if its some good discussions what you're after, don't be afraid to enter the Politics forum. I don't usually post there, but I think it's a great place which has some pretty interesting threads.

Plus other parts are dying as well! The Wi/Ht? forum no longer has loads and loads of questions asking about Newgrounds. The C&C forums are going hours without a single reply, and the rest, they just aren't that active anyway.

About the Wi/Ht? forum, well, if there aren't many people creating threads that's actually a good thing. It means that people are either reading the FAQ or finding the answers to their own questions, and therefore they don't need to create a new thread every time they don't know something.

About C&C... Well I'm not a regular here, but that's not a bad thing at all. It's better to have a good posts every 2 or 3 hours than having a lot of stupid posts per minute (see General forum).

The fact of the matter is, this place isn't as busy as it once was, the standards have dropped and the users are just becoming more stupid by the second....

Sometimes I wonder if users are really becoming more stupid, or if it's just us becoming more mature. I remember seeing a thread in General about this, but anyway, that doesn't mean NG is dying. Just because the site isn't busy it doesn't mean it's dying. And those stupid users are at least active. And in case they just become too stupid, well, we still have moderators doing a nice job in every part of the site.

/Rant

Wow....That was a lot to say. I guess...It just had to be said.

You say NG is dying... However look here: There are at least fifty people who have signed up to Newgrounds today. It looks like a lot of people is joining, some of them may not be active, but some of them will probably do something good for Newgrounds in the future, either by creating flashes, audio, art or by posting in the forums.

I don't really think that Newgrounds is dying. With some many things going on, and the oncoming Literature Portal, I'd say this place is pretty alive (and the chat! you can't forget about the chat! That will be ready soon... Right?)

If you're feeling down, maybe all you need is a big, nice hug :D
Cheer up!

Most people who ask about Newgrounders' opinions are probably people who don't know what to do in certain situations, but are just too shy to ask their friends. Or maybe they don't have any friends at all, and they come to the internet when they can act like if they were somewhat normal, thanks to anonymity.

I used to use Photoshop a lot in the past to make forum signatures (in other forums, that is). Nowadays, I just use it as my "advanced version of MSPaint". I mostly paste screenshots in there, crop them or change something, and I don't even participate in Photoshop threads.

Well, if 300 means five, then yes. 300 pages back.

It's good if you want to have some fun, but since I live down here at South America I think I would have a lot of latency if I tried to join. I'm not that good at CS anyway (it's been a while since I stopped playing it regularly), even though I know that it really doesn't matter.

We're all out of practice. If anything, we'll just beat up a bunch of bots so everyone can have fun...I've had people in China connect to my server with relatively low latency, so I'm imaging you have a good shot...

People from China? Well, then maybe I'll be able to play decently.

I can't say I like cooking, because I don't even know any recipe. I do cook for myself sometimes, but usually it's just basic stuff.

But yeah, being able too cook anything you want to can be great if you have everything necessary (ingredients, etc).

Despite the fact that you aren't giving any reason to leave, if you don't like the place then I guess it's OK if you want to do so. Goodbye.

Woah... I just read Guts, and that's all I can say. It was certainly a great story, I enjoyed it, even if it was "weird", to say the least. Now I got a bit more interested and I hope that I can read more from this author in the future. It looks like several people in this thread know his stuff and like it, so probably he has written some good books I'd like to read.

Thanks for making the thread :)

I agree with this. As soon as I saw there was some talk about the story, I had to stop reading this thread because I had planned to read the second chapter soon. I mean, it's OK if we talk about the story, but at least lets try to keep it spoiler-free so that everyone can enjoy it :)

Welcome to Newgrounds :)

Here you can upload user images (including the picture that's in your profile).

Also, here you can change more things about you're account, such as general information, upload a forum signature, manage favorite submissions, and much more. You can also go there by clicking in the "my account" button in the top right corner.

EagleRock, nice to see you. It seems that it doesn't matter how much you try not to make a big entrance, people will always talk about you when you come back. At least, this time it looks like you'll stay here for some time :)

"The Barracks Under Fire" looks good, I didn't even knew that it existed. So far I'm reading the prologue, but it's cool.

It isn't good to keep your password in a file in your computer since it's relatively easy to get. Anyone who can access to your computer (it doesn't have to be physically) could get it.

All Barracks members should continue exercising basic precautions, such as having strong passwords, not using simple security questions on e-mail accounts (I prefer using them as a second password), and using basic intelligence regarding phishing.

It's a shame that this happened, and by looking at Canas' last news post it seems that he was just phished. And probably it's the same that happened to Egoraptor. It's sad to see this happening as by now everyone should know about phishing, but anyway the mods are not to blame, it's just the DD's fault. Canas also got demodded, that was probably his choice as he even admits that he has been inactive. Anyway, it doesn't matter, everything is back to normal :)

Also, congrats Porkchop for UOTD.

I didn't get to watch that submission, but was it truly submitted by Egoraptor? Now I've looked at his userpage and his news posts are gone, and the user "description" (or whatever) is... weird. I'm pretty sure his account got hacked.

Also look at this:

Ah, I see. Is this a permanent deal or do they put it back to 10MB once you've uploaded whatever you wanted to submit?

I'm not sure about this, but I'd say it's permanent, because if you once make a flash over 10 mb, you're likely to do it again. But as I said, I'm not sure, you should ask someone whose submit limit is higher than normal.

Oh, that's bad, we'll miss you :( But it's OK that you want to resign instead of just remaining inactive (not many people do that). Needless to say, if you ever want to return, you're free to do so.

And about being inactive, if everything goes according to the plan, there will be a new rollcall this month (on 23rd). So inactive users will be put on the AWOL list. Just a remainder.

That was the PM.
I am aware that this user has been already been posted two pages ago, but the PM is so different that I considered it should be posted anyway.

It's all in the FAQ:

Q: Why doesn't my art appear instantly in the Art Portal like it does in the Flash Portal?

A: Art will appear instantly on your user page, but you will need to be scouted by an approved artist before your art appears in the Art Portal. These "approved artists" aren't necessarily moderators, merely fellow artists who are already members of the Art Portal themselves.

Q: How do I get scouted?

A: Do NOT ask to be scouted! Do not ask in the Forums or send the staff a Private Message about being scouted as these will only hurt your chances. Just submit at least four pieces of quality art and be patient, someone will find you! Every single person with art in the Art Portal has the ability to scout others, so there will be a lot of people with their eyes peeled for great submissions.

In the future, you can ask all your questions in The Official Art Portal Q&a Thread.

Patience is the key. But then again I'm not really patient. Making "mega-quotes" is not really necessary, but I feel embarrassed when I see my small posts next to all the multi-post catch-ups.

Why would you feel embarassed? Nice, tidy, up-to-date, no-need-for-catchups-because-you're-acti ve small posts are superior to the giant megaquote posts we make, dude. We should feel embarassed, if anyone.

Well, I'm not THAT active. But I think you shouldn't feel embarrassed either, shit happens and life's just like that, it ends up taking over your e-life. Let's just call it a draw, even if I still think that long posts are awesome.

BUT I AM SHAMELESS. Mwahaha.

Oh you evil mastermind.

On Wi/Ht?, at least. Elsewhere on the internets, I'm actually quite embarassed by my longwindedness and do everything I can to restrain it. :::nods:::

I can't imagine how your longwindedness could get embarrassing. But I do think it could be an inconvenient writing something so long in something like a YouTube comment.

That's because the update is based off of a 31 day period. However, it looks like you had already deposited for today, that means that by the time that Bahamut posted this, you had gained 10 extra experience (that is, experience from 32 days). Or something like that.

August update.

We already have RSS feed for several things, including the newest submissions. For more info, go here.

And if you want to keep track of the newest submissions under judgment, Portal Guard is a great tool.

To vote in submissions, you must vote in any of the icons that go from 0 to 5. Do that in five submissions in a day, and you'll earn 10 experience points (you can only earn 10 points per day). Be sure you're doing the right thing ;)

Here's an explanatory picture:

There have been some lame phishing attempts such as that recently. The real bots are listed here:

P-Bot - Picks the daily Flash Portal winners and announces them on the front page every day, and removes unworthy submissions from the site with his BLAM cannon.
A-Bot - Sorts and ranks Audio files submitted to the Audio Portal, and picks and highlights weekly winners.
G-Bot - Creates, validates, and ranks user accounts.
M-Bot - Assists site moderators by notifying users of bans and removals regarding forum posts and submission reviews.
I-Bot - Helps users filter and sort Art Portal submissions, and picks each day's winning works of art.

We should really inform someone about these phishing attempts. Even if they are stupid, someone may fall for it. Or at least it would be good to make a thread in the General forum.

I wasn't going to participate, but after some funny entries I decided to give it a try and I got 3 somewhat related thing :)

Yep. :) Could it be that it's a trailing featured spot? When a new game is featured, Favor might move to that spot?
Dunno.

I think they added it when they put the featured art in the frontpage, so that the layout looks fine. I think it's cool, but I'm not sure if many people will see it down there.

Yes, we have the Game of The Moment Archive :)

Awesome news :D

The featured art is great, I was really looking forward to it :) That way I'm sure that I won't miss any of the best stuff.

And Tarboy is just amazing. As of now, I want it to be the movie of the year. There are no words to describe how cool it is, even if the grandfather's eyes switch positions sometimes :D

Even if I also think that sharing good submissions is a great thing, one million views in one week is INSANE :/

Also, nice photo :3

First, you should add the people you want to co-author to your portal buddies list (go here to do so).

Then, you edit the movie (you'll now have the option to add those people), specifying their contribution to the flash (music, voice acting, animation, writing, etc).

I didn't know that Tarboy was on Digg (I was going to digg it when I found out)
