It really is people like you who ruined the BBS for the rest of us. Newgrounds was intended to be something representing free speech and non-conformity. Now that Tom is raking in the dough through advertisement and game development, Newgrounds.com has just become yet another marketing tool.

It doesn't help that goody-two-shoes like you come here to spit in our faces and try to shove your naive, politically glorified, assinine morals down our throats.

In all honesty, to hell with you.

No offence, but in my first few hours I've already nearly had enough of your posts. I understand you're unhappy with a choice / choices, but please, no attacks on other users, and I have to say, photoshop pictures of violence against women would get me to ban whoever posted it. Consider the wider audience here, not just the few of you who like to see that stuff.

Anyway, perhaps you need to take a time out from insulting people? Your comments about SCD are fine, but keep them to that.

Wow its amazing to see some users being such fucktards when it comes to modship and even some new mods acting like newmod fucktards. What happened to respecting the descisions that were made? And why does everytime a female user gets modded does her post history have to come into question? Serious calm down about this mod shit it really doesn't mean anything and if your all pissing and moaning because someone you like didn't get modded then you can do one thing if your a user nothing and if your a mod vote for a person in the next little round of moddship candidates. Until then stop with the accusations of whos fit for what job because in the end a retarded monkey can mod this site its not a difficult job.

Condragulations Canas, Gooch, Evark & Sarai.

This is the big surprise. Well, I'm really happy for you since you are a really great Newgrounds user. Keep on the owls, Canas! <3 You better make funny lock messages.

Evark

Congrats :) I have nothing else to say.

Sarai

This is another surprise for some, but I was sure it would happen. Of course all this will not change my story thread, but congrats, lovely Sarai! I'm so happy for you!

Gooch

Finally. You got it. About time wasn't it? I guess if I'll have my turn too, one day. Well, Gooch, congrats! I was 100% sure they couldn't make you wait more.

I hope they'll thing about ol' FBIpolux one day too.

I'm not talking about me, I've already said that I agree with some of the views here and I'll try to do my best. What I was asking you was not to insult other users. Feel free to insult me if it makes you happy, but I'm going to go on the fact that other people don't like to be attacked, so unless they say it's 'fine', don't do it.

You would ban me for telling someone to go to hell, or calling them a "goody two-shoes"? I made NOT A SINGLE seriously disparaging remark, but merely pointed out a point of view shared by the TRUE users of the Newgrounds BBS.

This perfectly illustrates my point: you havn't a clue as to the nature of this BBS, or in any case, a feel for the vibe that permeates it.

I have nothing against you personally, quite obviously. Perhaps I'm just venting my dissatisfaction through you, unfairly, maybe. In any case, I stand by my opinions and views. The bbs is not what it used to be.

Good choice.

Also good.

Sarai

While she has only been around here since May, I trust the admins' judgement, and I don't think she'll be bad in the long run. Congrats to her.

Gooch

Best choice yet; I've been wanting to see him modded for a while and I knew it would happen eventually.

And as for JusticeofSarcasm and Proteas, I know they're Politics forum regulars. I hope they do a good job as mods.

Too bad we lost SCD though. :(

Let me patiently explain this, I am not going to be a person on here who posts links to porn, enjoys posting "I fucked my sister", or is able to design amazing flash games. What I will do is try my best to make your time here fun, byt hopefully not very often locking threads filled with spam, so that you don't have to wade through links of Lemonparty or other crap.

At 11/6/05 10:16 AM, Pink_Beer wrote: Oh, here comes saryia? (whatever) already banning people for expressing their opinion, woo-hoo.

Let me patiently explain this to you as well, no one has been banned, nor would I do that. I was asking him not to insult another user who was making a serious point. It's in the context to be honest, the only thing that NG lacks, the ability of people to see something as fun, and treat it that way, or serious and treat it that way.

---

Now we've got that out of the way, and I hasten to add I don't mind explaining this to people. Your NG won't change, I am not important, I am a green line on a forum who is a 'weapon' against idiot spammers, harrassment and bad links. I am not powerful, nor going to change your life on here.

Hold on, I think I better make that even clearer:

I have no 'power' here to make your life worse. I like Newgrounds, I am glad to be here. I will make your time here better if I can through taking actions that SHOULD NEVER concern you. If they do involve you, it'll be because you don't follow the rules.

I am the green five letters, I am nothing.

Thank you.

I find it wholly amusing that the entirity of this ever-so whirl-wind thread has erupted in copious amounts of drama and/or internet trappings. Newgrounds politics, ever the pit-fall.

As well as re-iterating my congrats towards all new mods, that view now encompassing JOS and Proteas, whose presence I was not aware of previously, I'd like to vent my frustration at the whole SCD event. It was nice having a kinsman, of sort, inhabbiting the list, and I'm deeply sorry to see him go. Perhaps, like with FUNK, redemption could come within in his grasp, and I hope for my sanity, it does. However, I realise nothing can be done by complaining, and it would be best to let the matter lie, and be resolved internally.

I mourn the loss of past BBSings, it seems that this new breed of user has truly shunned the old, and the forum is not what it used to be. Adapt of leave, I suppose. Whether to choose the former or latter, I'll admit I'm torn.

Oh yes because saying something for pure shock value is the way to go. I seriously don't understand whats up with this whole let me be racially or sexualy biased because its funny. And if someone gets offened "Oh I wasn't being serious I was only joking" theres a way to do it and not be a dickhead but obviously most of you have not found this out.

Shrapnel, just want to say that something can be done.

I think it is a shame that you prevent us from doing some just, afterall, we made a thread to see what would happen, not to force people to think like us.

Most fair would be if each one made their own decision, and if they did sign the list, they would make a difference.

Regards, Andersson.

No, not good. Not friendly enough.

Evark

Never heard of that man

Sarai

Can hook up with mary, who should be demodded too. Worst decision ever!

Gooch

The only one who really deserves to be a mod. Too bad he didn't got modded earlier.

I also saw that SCD got demodded, what is a terrible decision. NG is becoming dumber and dumber.

I severly doubt it'll make any sort of an impact on the whole scenario. The current team have obviously made their decision, however much you or I disagree with it, and I can't see them backing down via outside influence.

Still, I'd sign the petition were someone to lay it up, even though I see it as futility, simply out of principle. Besides, it's always worht a shot. Stranger things have happened in the course of existence.

For sure.

Thank you for all support and yes, I have an own list there I sign up everyone who say that they want to sign it, to only state that it is a bad decition ain't enough to get on the list, I need you to actually say that you sign the list or whatever.

And, I will make a petition at the link I was given, thank you for all your effort.
