AS HAVE I!

*does nothing whilst everybody else works frantically in order to meet coursework deadlines*

Kinda annoying how, as soon as the vast majority of my uni work for this term has been completed / submitted, all of my friends now have deadlines approaching. Oh well. Might as well have a cup of tea.

To be completely honest with the OP (and supporters of this idea in general), this is about 99.99% certain never to happen. Discussion of the idea has been entertained up until this point, but frankly there's no real need to discuss something which won't ever happen.

If you feel the need to put this idea forward to the site admins, post it here (providing nobody else has already posted it). I doubt they'll take it on board, but you're more than welcome to have your input.

Not really. The idea of EXP is that it shows dedication to Newgrounds over time. You can easily get a ton of medal points in a very short space of time and then leave the site forever. Your proposed system, therefore, is pretty majorly flawed.

The current EXP system has been unchanged for a long time. It works... if it aint broke, don't fix it.

Sounds like gfox. :P He's meant to be doing LUL catch-ups....Soon.

I suppose I was overdue for an LUL catch-up... but honestly I'd rather just jump back into it after the sheer amount of pages I've missed. The catch-up would have to be far too epic, and I just can't bring myself to do it with all the work that I've had recently ;P

On the bright side, I THINK I'm done with coursework for this term. I've just given in my third piece (in less than a month ;_; ), so AFAIK I'm just waiting for christmas now.

There's been quite a lot of uni work to be getting on with lately, and I'm at my girlfriend's place a lot of the time too and usually forget to check teh NG's when I'm there.

Newgrounds, this is what happens to NGers when they spend too much time in the outside world.

It's pretty disgusting, eh?

there's another meetup for you to miss

lol, I don't normally do too well with making it to meetups, true. Honestly no idea what's going on on the 28th (of November, right?) yet. Is it in London? If it is, and nothing else is going on that day I might be able to make it.

You can still do well for yourself without a degree. It's more difficult, but it can be done.

I didn't care about university really until I had a gap year and discovered first-hand what working life would be like without higher education. It's not really all that nice to be honest; to me it seemed more reasonable to spend a few more years going to uni and getting a decent education, and after that a good job.

It's all personal choice though. In the end deciding going to uni was the best choice I've made in my life so far, I reckon.

It never ceases to amaze me how much of this thread I've missed out on whenever I actually have the time to check it / post in it. HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS of pages. My own fault for not being here as much, though.

So here's a little update / catch-up (although, probably more non-catch-up than actual catch-up) for all of you who I know and remember and cherish deep in my heart... just so you know that I'm still poking around behind the scenes, in relative silence.

I've been shamefully missing deposits all over the place recently, so I'm sort of adverse to checking this update. There's been quite a lot of uni work to be getting on with lately, and I'm at my girlfriend's place a lot of the time too and usually forget to check teh NG's when I'm there.

I know, I'm appalled at myself too. I need to pull my socks up.

Blargh, last time I tried to recreate the abusive reviews topic in a blog post, the mods told me anyone who tried to recreate that topic in whatever form would get shot. Unfair >=(

What mods?

IIRC, review and BBS mods talked about it and decided it would make things easier if the original abusive review thread was locked, and not recreated on NG in the form of news posts etc., because it just caused too much non-abusive stuff to get flagged and ultimately increased work for the review mods.

I think Wade interjected that if it's on news posts, users can do pretty much what they want... but if you're trying to help out review mods it's probably not the best way to go about it. But then I'm guessing it's more for helping people upgrade their whistle level than helping mods clean the site.

Not to get into a debate about a frankly tired issue or anything, just explaining the situation as I remember it.

That's pretty much all I have the urge to reply to ATM. Told you it'd be more of a non-catch-up ;P

It is probably closer to urine than beer though in all fairness.

I remember when I was at school and "that's what she said" was really popular. Then it kinda died out... and now I'm at uni and it's started again. Love the immature sense of humour, it's fucking great, lol.

What these guys said...

Like Coop said, with HTML-heavy posts, the best way to preview them is simply to copy and paste the text into a new news post. I used to employ that exact same method when I used to do lists and stuff over in the C&C forums; it's really not that time-consuming.

For regular posts, just gloss over them when you're done typing and all should be well. If your spelling really isn't up to scratch or whatever and you're that bothered about it, run it through a spell checker or something. Honestly though, everybody makes mistakes in posts from time to time... it's not a big deal.

Friday the 13th isn't normally unlucky for me... in fact it's probably more lucky than most days. Haven't really done much that could involve luck today though, unless you count the fact that I managed to find a bunch of useful books for my coursework, despite it being due in less than a week.

Of course the bad luck is that I have an essay due in 6 days in the first place. Win some lose some.

That's definitely how real life works.

I'm shit at carving pumpkins. They always try their hardest to defeat me (with their thick orange impenetrable skins), and usually succeed in doing so.

For this reason, I gave up carving pumpkins a long time ago... but I still get jealous when I see well-carved halloween pumpkins, as it is a skill I hall never excell at.

But yeah cool pumpkin.

I really don't see the point in drinking anything other than jagerbombs on a night out these days. It's clearly the best drink out there.

You'd be surprised. Once you get past the whole "mods are evil because they enforce the rules that we agree to when we sign up yet still resent for whatever reason" thing, then you'll see that we do make teh funnies every now and again.

We're actually pretty awesome people.

Looked it up on wikipedia, lol.

To be honest it's really not too difficult to ignore any ads that you don't like. No need to complain about it -- the ads keep NG going so that we can all continue to enjoy the site. :)

I reckon most of the people posting in this thread, despite acting all holier-than-thou, would have done the same thing were they in your position.

But yeah... stealing is bad kids.

Students aren't real people anyway so it's fine. We don't have to conform to normal social or behavoural conduct.

Even though I stated that wasn't what I was looking for? You never let me down, NEVR.

Apparently I can't read haha. Apologies.

Be patient, it'll be ready at some point (I won't say "soon" because I honestly don't know how high it is on the priority list).

I prefer the BBS to chatrooms anyway, TBH. Probably alone on that one though, lol.

Night in with a cup of tea and a cigarette or two = good gentlemanly times.

Having a quiet night in for the first time in AGES, so I thought it would be prudent to drop by this place for a bit.

Uni isn't all that bad this term (only in lectures on tuesday and thursday), so the rest of the time is my own. You'd think I'd be more active than I am given that this is the case, but I spend a good deal of my time at my girlfriend's house at the moment, so I don't end up going on NG that much.

I've been getting online every day though this week, so that's cool, and even if I don't post on the forums I'll usually do a bit of lurking / modding. So yeah, I am around a bit more these days, for anyone who remembers me / cares. ;P

One of my mates reps for Fabric and went to Alix Perez's album launch on October 9th, and because he's a rep he gets to hang out in the DJ booth. He said Alix Perez was coked off his face the entire night, lmao.
