And on 12th September, my account will be 5 years old. I know September is a long way away right now, but we'll be there soon enough. I'm very sure I'll still be active by then and it's amazing to think I've managed to stay here for roughly 4 1/2 years now when so many leave due to not being so interested in the site anymore. Back in 2006, I thought I'd be one of them soon, but here in 2009, I'm still around. :)

Definately weren't reserved in your excitement were you?

Heh, I was even more excited for the baseball bat. Now, the baseball bat isn't as awesome as it used to be. :(

Well timed, though. ;)

Well, even if you've heard it before, I'm glad I was the first to use it in this club. While also making it my last, as I see how bitterly unoriginal I am for using it now, even if I did think it was lame when I said it.

Anyway, welcome, as I didn't say it previously.

Oh god yeah... Nowadays the good levels start at about 24/25 whereas it used to be the bat that started off the cool levels. Still, I look forward to being the axe :3

I miss the old levels. The level 27 nunchucks are nowhere near as sexual as the old level 16 ones, as I constantly state.

The old levels still reside within my heart, I loved them so, still do.

Sure, they weren't higher quality than the newer ones, but they were Newgrounds, they were iconic avatars of the Newgrounds users and history. If I were to only think about myself, I'd definitely trade them back, and perhaps the 2003 / 2004 - 2005 layout along with it. The fact that those times are related to many memories on Newgrounds and in life is perhaps some part of the reason, but still.

I'm a conservative bitch!

I stopped depositing because I liked the level 16 nunchucks so much, and then I found out I could be like, level 42 or level 43 by now.

Meh, I've gone past the n00by feeling of wanting to be a mod. If I get asked, I get asked. If not, I won't really lose any sleep over it.

But I've got my collection of stats and it keeps me happy. I especially love the looks of tortured boredom on my grandkid's faces when I sit them down and tell them about how Coop managed to get so many points over various methods of wasting some of his life.

Personally, I don't think the new bronze gauntlet is so great in the redesign, so I think the good levels start at level 25, although levels 12 and 14 are still cool.

Shame, I would have kept going. If we still had the old 30 levels, one of my alts would be level 16 right now.

Me too.

I wanted to be a mod badly in late '07 - early '08, though.

So badly, I was willing to kill.

But being a mod couldn't be as good as some make it out to be.

The new gauntlets are all pretty bad if you ask me, eugh. The old ones were the best levels ever.

So do I, with the exception of levels 11 and 23 back then. Those level icons were awful!

11 was pretty bad, I learned to like level 23 though.

If we still had the old 30 levels, one of my alts would be level 16 right now.

Same here, I wonder if there is any site or similar where you can check exactly what level you would be if we still had the old levels, that automatically updates itself based on the experience points of the top user.. I don't think there is any, but there definitely should be.

The best I know is the NG Archive's Level page. It's not automatically updated, but it's better than nothing.

Actually, they didn't drop the levels? Or it doesn't automatically update for the highest user? Cos otherwise it makes no sense. I started off on level 36 (shit icon) after the redesign but I think I was comfortably level 19 before it. who cares

Yeah, I know of that one, sadly it isn't automatically updated.

I just threw together a xls file and made it so you just enter the top user's experience points and it will display all of the levels requirements, based on Auz' equation for them. It works perfectly for me, but it'd still be neat if there was some place for everyone to check out the updated requirements.

I get that you're overexaggerating for effect... but still, people who want to be moderators on an internet website THAT much should probably take a step back from the computer for a little while. Seriously.

No you're right there, but still the bronze gauntlet is a lot better than the majority of levels that are before the new 19 and under. also levels 21 and 22 are abosulutely horrible now. I'll have to stay active this time around on Newgrounds if only to steer clear of those two levels.

on another note the pipe tomorrow :)

I just read through this thread in its entirety and I just want to say

evenin'.

also pre-redesign q-tip level was horrendous. level 23 it was. and then they zoomed in on it and made it a little shiny and glowy for level 29. man I dreaded ever having to wear that level... lucky I was saved by the redesign : )

Well, I'd have either been Level 19 or maybe 20 by now, so it;s not a great change. I'll stick to Level 40 thanks.

I wish that they had just tweaked the old EGSC badge for the redesign, rather than the winged tank. Whoever heard of a flying tank?!

I went from 18 (Silver Gauntlet) to 33 (Shurikens, followed by more Shurikens) after the redesign and I wasn't happy about it, to be honest.

Yeah, but now there's got to be a bunch of shitty levels out there somewhere. Bahamut hates Level 26 - the Shitblade, as he calls it. I'm not a fan of 33 or 34, as they're both shurikens, which seems silly to have them sequentially and *snores*

I hate the new levels for the most part. They're shiny and inconsistent. The one I have right now is probably one of the best ones. I'm pretty sure stamper did this one and the cool level 45. He should have done them all rather than Utah. . If they were all done with this much detail they would be way better. Half of them look like bloated cartoony plastic pieces of shit.

I vaguely recall some kid proclaiming that he was sure level 26 was a magic wand when the redesign first launched. That amused me for a short while.
