Original
I don't truly see how it is stolen. It's by the same exact users that created the original. After watching the "stolen" one for a couple of minutes. It looks like he is more or less just showing some technical error from the game causing a glitch.

Yeah, only just notice that it was by the same user myself, sorry for the mistake :(.

It's alright. TO be honest I don't even understand what that test piece was about myself. Isn't that why we have dumping grounds.?

I guess he didn't know about it. I dislike the whole uploading tests idea anyway, personally i'd but it in the dumping grounds and post a news feed with a link asking for comments.

Nah, there was some sort of error with the upload and they had to go back to the drawing board. It happens from time to time.

It just proves that you were a little too hasty with the blowing the whistle and calling it stolen. Take your time and check the evidence first.

Just kidding.

Sorry I haven't shown my face around here lately. I've been around, but never had much to say. I'm working on some stuff for the site and hopefully I'll have something to show within the next few weeks. Other than that I'm just watching submissions in the Portal.

I'm still chugging along and this past few days has seen a marked increase in my pace, so that's bound to hit a wall at some stage. I've set myself the goal of reaching 100,000 B/P before the turn of the year, so 2 updates to see how things go. Suffice to say, I need to up my pace from where it was last month.

Thank you, Jolly, for the roster - AYE, tis' be a Jolly Roster!!!!

Hey guys.. not too much has happened recently. A group of students recently submitted their work and brought a lot of activity to the portal. Sadly, for me, I wasn't awake until an hour or so after it had happened.

Umm...how about that our dear friend Coop fell off his 30+ month streak? Wow. Sorry about that, old chap. Seems there's no recognition for longevity anymore. We seem to have a bunch of new members really pounding out the points. I got lucky this month, but I'll be on the road a lot (as I am now) in November, so I may be next falling off the top 5. If I can make it to 36 months, that would be nice,

It will be years and years before I catch up. But that's not the point. I have been trying to get more blams these days. My goal is to get 30 - 40 a week, so I'm being more critical of my voting habits. I may eventually just drop to "blam or no vote" - seems that plenty of people are willing to vote 5 anyway, so you don't need mine - but no one wants to own that "0". I'm starting to get to that point.

Anyway, thanks again for the roster, Jolly...

OH.. while I have your attention - THERE IS STILL A VOTE GOING ON FOR AFRO-MANN! I need all active EGB members to weigh in, please - in case you missed my first post.

That is all.

Yeah I remember that. Got a few saves out of that. Think I got a blam or two too, bet that guy got a bad grade :D.

Milestones::
Decky - 2K saves

It's like the most unimpressive milestone on the list but I'm still happy with it.

I'm climbing up the ramp of the Pvt. First Class lot :).

That's 388.84 per day, or 11.44 per day per member.

Admits not making either of them.

I saw that one earlier: Apparently the two artists (the submitter and the one he says it's from) work on the same submissions to the point where it's not really clear which one made what. Also, I can find no trace of either flash on the "original" artist's account either.

This is a pretty good example of why an author's comments are not to be used as conclusive proof of theft. It looks more like a grey area to me, and as per the golden rule of these things ("doubt = no flag"), I'm leaving them alone.

Gosh it's the Roaster time the time goes by so quickly thanks for the list Jolly, and to everyone on the list too. My b/p still the same which bring me to the link Sheizenhammer posted ,I think it's a good point about stat whoring. I think it's a utter disgrace I would rather have my Master Sergeant badge then through stat whoring shame he did not care about it though. Still I love the game Red Dead Redemption.

Just thought I'd let you all know, I've been thoroughly busy with a new job I got about 2 hours away from where I live. Until I can move up there, which won't be til the end of this month probably, I will be very scarcely seen around these parts! I already get barely any sleep as it is, I spend my time at home eating then sleeping.

No worries, I'll be back as soon as I get some free time.

Yeah, it was abit of a grey area for me hence why I put 'Technically Stolen'. I thought that a submittion had to be uploaded by the creator without exception. Clearly I was wrong, I apologise.

You seriously have to ask this?

I get the feeling that the barracks has been dumbing down of late, Ladies and Gentlemen, so forgive me for treating you like children in your first year of BBS class, but this is what seems to be needed:

If someone is doing something that you feel is unacceptable on the forums, check on the FAQ. If you cannot find what you are looking for, send a PM to a moderator, preferably one who is online at that moment, so they can deal with the issue quickly.

There are moderators here for other sections as well - Audio, Art, Reviews, Icons and the like. If anything untoward falls under their remit, you may wish to pass it to them. I don't mind redirecting you to one of my colleagues in another department, that's common practice with the BBS.

I don't mean to take it out on you, Scarface. It's not just you, but we have to look at the issue that as more experienced users of the BBS, we shouldn't have to ask questions like this, here.

Dump links for stolen flash, by all means - that's what we're here for. We aren't here to grass up other users publicly, for their BBS posting habits.

If you have a problem with posting on the BBS, send me a PM. I'm fine with that.

Thank you, byteslinger. I have read the barracks code of conduct, manifesto, and FAQ. I understand these rules, guidelines, and principles. I accept them and will follow them to the best of my ability.

Also, thank you to Decky and SCTE3 for the congratulations.
Very well. We now move to the vote-in phase...

Will all active EGB members please weigh in on Afro-mann's entrance discussion ASAP. Thank you.

That is all.

*Salutes*

First, my apologies to Afro-Mann. It's been two weeks and we haven't reached a consensus yet. The voting and discussion is still open - but it seems that everyone around here is very busy fighting the good fight. Or maybe they missed the first post.

In any case, I would ask that the following active members please take a few minutes from the front lines and weigh in to the discussion and voting for Afro-Mann?
Sixflab, Jolly, Cootie, Tycrane, Asandir, NGFan14, Gimmick (and anyone else who missed it)

When you do vote, please post a comment as well so that we know your voice has been heard.

Every vote counts, and every member has a responsibility to vote. Please do so....

Thank you - that is all.

I tend to only give a vote, since it is pretty difficult for me to write a long judgement on a user, because my english lacks a bit. Still, I posted what I think about the candidate and casted my vote. Jolly is not very active on the forums lately, but Gimmick should see your post too. Not sure on the others.

Hey guys, what's up? :)

After a long time, I'm back, and sadly, I have bad news... I wanna be discharged. I'm having a lot of troubles in real life, have a lot of stuff to do, and I'm starting to have a better social life, meeting new people, hanging out with friends, and all this kind of stuff.

I realized I don't have time for Newgrounds anymore, and that's way too fucking sad, I always loved this site, I loved to B/P, but I don't have time to do it anymore, that's why I'm leaving, I don't wanna stay here, inactive, I love this club, and I always wanted to add something to the group, now that I don't have time to do it anymore, I guess it's time to leave.

I want to thank ALL of you, you guys helped me to be a better person, you can notice that in my posts, just look at my first post and compare it to my recent posts, my English improved a lot, it's not perfect, but I can notice a great difference. My maturity changed too, I was just an idiot kid before, now, I'm a bit better (I'm still very idiot, but I did the best I could to be a good user here in the EGB and in Newgrounds as a whole).

I really wanna thank you guys, you are fucking awesome, and I'll never forget this club, an I'll never forget this site... I don't think I'll continue to lurk here in Newgrounds anymore... But, thanks, again, guys.

Bye :')
