I agree, I thought we were doing a good job promoting fair voting around here but looks like we need a bigger influence.

Also I know I was not around for awhile but now that I am back I was wondering if I could be put back on the roster. I would just like to know how I stack up against every one here, thanks.

Oh sweet, thanks a bunch for the update Coop!

Okay, so we're going to see how this update looks forst, then I'll make a few tweaks for the next update.

Personally, I think it looks pretty good, seems to be much neater than before. the only change I'd like to see (which I see Corky also mentioned) is the reintroduction of the +1 or whatever next to your name to show you've climbed a rank.

Milestones
Metal-Therapy - 20,000 B/P
DarkSoldier - Praporshchik
Mendou - 18,000 Saves; 3,000 Blams

Congratulations guys.

There will be no detail on loss or gain of pace, as a switch from a weekly to a monthly format means that a) I'm going to leave the changes out for being statistically innacurate and b) it saves me time.

No worries, I didn't usually pay much heed to that anyway, so it's no great loss in my view.

[No.] [Total B/P] | [Gain] | [Gain/day] | [Name, Rank]

25] 06406 | 355 | 32.3 | Pinoyguy75 Stf. Sgt.
26] 05930 | 547 | 49.7 | RohantheBarbarian Sgt.

Be afraid. Be very afraid ;P

Top 5 Gainers:
+883 - Corky52
+743 - Metal-Therapy
+642 - Mendou
+585 - Marsupial
+568 - pwroftheseagoat

Congrats guys.

Repeat offenders - Corky52 (11); pwroftheseagoat (4); Metal-Therapy (3)

As above. Thanks again for the update Coop.

Last week was an ok week for me IRL, so I got more time to b/p than I would normally, especially given that I was just outside the top gainers from the looks of things.

I'm pretty much b/ping as much as I can to get as far from Marsupial as possible, at the moment I'm nervously waiting for him to rocket past me sometime soon...

Okay, no biggie.

The List:

12] 20453 | 743 | 67.5 | Metal-Therapy Brig. Gen.

Wow, the roster is so much smaller. A little...autumn cleaning will do that, I suppose. :P
Well, passing the 20K milestone for me was pretty big. Hopefully these last 10K will come fast.

Repeat offenders - Corky52 (11); pwroftheseagoat (4); Metal-Therapy (3)

Awesome, looks like I'll be sticking around on this list for quite some time. :D

Wow.. and I thought my Save to Blam ratio was bad..

18K is a seems like a crazy number to have and not be a SC. I thank myself for being big into b/p'ing back in 04 and 05 when blams were still plentiful.

Metal you've been finding more time lately. I'm happy for you, but as you find more time I'm starting to find less time. That's not good news for me. >:P

Thanks. I guess we'll have to see what happens in the long run with our paces. I'm going to go at it as hard as I can until I reach SC, at least. I never would have guessed that a good week in the portal would earn me a nearly 70 per day average when working a full time job. All's I can say now is that the marathon must go on... :P

Well, its after 7AM here. I'm going to suck down the rest of my now luke-warm tea then I'm going to bed.

I can't help the people deciding that they don't want to be part of it. Their reasons, their choice.

Not that I miss the total gained/lost, along with average B/P, Rank and all that jazz; I never really paid attention to it.

It's easy enough for me to come up with a stat of average B/P and therefore average B/P rank. I can do all that sort of stuff at a later date. It won't make the updates much longer and it will add a nice bit of detail to it.

I just really miss the average loss/gain column. I know this is the first update, so it might not have it, but I liked to see how I did this roster compared to last roster.

It will return - if you read the note at the start, you would understand this. If you're that anal about the stats, the link to the previous update was posted at the bottom

Also, try to even out the columns; it's a little hard to understand right now.

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at here - the presentation was perfectly aligned with the records above and below...

New updates will never be perfect. They will get honed with time, so give it a chance. Next update will be roughly 4 weeks time

It wasn't easy when it comes to the story in 51+, but no matter what I cannot break character until it ends. Another thing, my Spanish exam is coming up tomorrow and I'm screwed like Kerry Collins in the 2001 Super Bowl.

I do really miss the weekly roster used to get a sense of community, but I think this is better as it does not put so much pressure on the users. Once again good update Coop83, its weird I'm so used to the roster on Tuesdays kinda miss it. Still I'm very glad you have done it. My b/p not been bad around 5 or so, I need around 99 points to get my next badge that good b/p for me. Not compared to lot of people though. Must get cracking with writing reviews, not done any for about a month been to lazy and missed doing any for RRC.

Nice update Coop!

The member list is MUCH MUCH slimmer then when it use to have around 40-50 members on it :\

A stolen flash. It's so obvious though like the person that submitted it wanted to work on their whistle just by looking at the title of the flash.

Thisis stolen from here.

They're making quite a comeback.

I did it wrong, I'll learn but the problem is when someone decides to bring back whatever generic title they use to spam the portal, something's got to be done.

Oh yes, it seems that Fleek is back. I can't say I'm very happy to see him, or Mozz for that matter, since Mozz has a position as a spammer's emblem on this site. Still, at least I know that I have some work to do now, instead of just idly sitting by wondering if everyone I know is alive or what like I was most of the summer.

I meant that the title "Gain" was over the average gain column, and the "Gain/day" was over the name column. I know you're supposed to look at it in the order they are, not where they are, but I'm OCD about some things, and this is one of those things.

New updates will never be perfect. They will get honed with time, so give it a chance.

I will. I would never expect a perfect roster from some one who has limited, if any experience doing it. And it's a new system, so it should take a while to do.

Dont worry I have only just got the hang of it. Fleek actually submitted some more stuff recently not the worst spam, I have ever seen still shit mass voted through no doubt. By the way do get the fancy picture read Sir-Nuts reply.

Man, nothing really changes around here. I don't get why people don't get sick of the spam in the portal.

I thought Wade made a brigade or some shit and this stuff was supposed to get deleted?

Anyway, good news form me, it seems. My company is doing layoffs, but I should be safe since they are sending me for an install and I'll be away when it happens. YAY!

If I get some actual time to myself (and I should) I hope to make a Halloween vid. And guess what? It's going to be a musical. God save you all, I'm going to sing.

Oh, and how do you do that link to a movie thing? That's new to me. (also linking to spammers like that is probably what they want)

If Wade doesn't help with something rulebreaking, go over his head to Tom. That's all we can do until some Portal Mod system---long discussed, yet to be implemented---is set up. If you want to talk about shit flashes being submitted---namely the single-frame crap---Tom's also who you want to talk to, since he tends to respond more than Wade.

Don't be too relaxed, lol---my dad lost his job while he was on vacation, and they waited until he got back to tell him. Mind you, this was a company he had worked in for over a decade and literally took a bullet for during a robbery.

Bah.

Also, yes, good job on the roster, Coop. I don't care that it has less members than before, it's more accurate in terms of activity---and will continue to be, as I will occasionally go through and remove people who haven't posted here within a month---so yeah, it's swell.

Well, I could change the system about slightly, but maybe it will look better when the extra parts come in in 1 month's time.

'Limited, if any experience doing it'?!

I would implore you, sir, to check out any of the three links on my signature. I've done over 25 lists for the good people of Newgrounds, so I would not say that I am underqualified to do it, by any stretch of the imagination.

Do I take it from that, that you are implying a better job would be completed by one such as yourself?

People have a lot more chances to stay active on the new format roster. Simple as that.

Thanks again for the update Coop!

About me, I have to devote more and more time to my school work, I get some bad marks in Maths and Physics and, since I'm in the Scientific section, I have to be excellent there. As a consequence, I won't be able to B/P more than I currently do.

I just simply meant that you had little experience doing this particular roster. I know you're doing other lists, and have been for a while. But I'm sure that with each list comes new challenges that need to be worked around, and I wouldn't expect all of those challenges to be overcome on the first list.

Do I take it from that, that you are implying a better job would be completed by one such as yourself?

God no. I most definately am not qualified for the job. See above explanation of my statement.

I don't know how you do the updates in those other threads though. It would be too much for me looking for people who weren't on the list before and everything. I know a couple of people use that program that does most of it for them, but it would still be a task looking for people who are new to the list.

Yes, the Portal Watch is a good idea but the other one Wade Fulp began has gone quiet. I have never actually sent Tom Fulp a pm before on the matter of spam, it would be weird and somewhat odd not a bad idea. I'm worried about all the stolen stuff which I reported not being sorted out, unless its legitimate. My birthday on the 8th I turn 26 not a big deal I guess its jut nice to have a birthday, may update my page saltues!.

I'm far too lazy to even think of attempting make a list like some of the ones people do here, so I don't bother trying to. Ahaha, I can't see anything wrong with the update anyway, I have no idea what I'm thinking, it's too early in the day.

Also, I don't think I've ever sent Tom a PM about something spammy, uhh, I don't know since I don't keep track of PMs I send.

Oh, that's alright then - each list has only slight differences to the basic layout - namely each stat that is tracked. The main issue for me with this one is getting the Ranks correct and therefore the milestones at every update :P

God no. I most definately am not qualified for the job. See above explanation of my statement.

Well, I wasn't qualified when I started - I was only enthusiastic about the prospects of the Responses list and it grew from there.

Wow, the thieves are active tonight, that's for sure!

Bloody Revenge, The, by Flasher7 Type: Game Rating: Everyone

Taken from http://www.freehobo.com/games/the-bloody -revenge

Save Poor Guys!, by Flasher7 Type: Game Rating: Everyone

Stolen from http://www.chocosnow.com/play-online-gam es/save-poor-guys/

In both cases, the author comments are fishy, the email domains don't check out, and no credit is given to the original sites. Plus it's THE SAME GUY who submitted both of them FROM DIFFERENT SITES, meaning it's not a user like MiniClip that submits on behalf of a site.

This leads me to believe that these are stolen. What do you guys reckon?

Sorry for double posting, but as you can see the links to the originals got messed up. Just remove the spaces then copy and paste the link into the address bar if you want to check them out.

Nice finds Rohan. I marked them both, but it looks like one of them made it by judgment even though it was posted here, the police dep., and the abusive review thread twice. The 2nd time it was posted in the abusive review thread was by a mod too. Oh well, another one for phatomlassuk to put on her list.

They both passed. Dammit! Ah well, can't get 'em all. I've never really known Wade to respond to PMs from me, but yeah, someone with a better Fulp response rate should PM him.

Anyways, back to the old, familiar sight of seeing a spam movie steal underdog with mass-reviews... Same old spammer exploiting a Portal flaw (in this case, listing one of his accounts multiple times), same old spammers' names on the older reviews, same old trick of faking a famous author (bet he wishes he had my fake Alvin alt), same old spam. Gah, let's hope Wade gets mad again soon. I don't like seeing spam steal Underdog any more than I like seeing stolen Flash in the Portal.
