As y'all know, the filesize limit for flash has been increased to 10 megs now. I have a bad feeling there will be a lot of huge, crappy flash submitted (some unintentionally, some intentionally) that will drive us nuts. :-(

The only thing worse than a 4 meg, no-preloader, ten second stick flash is a 10 megs, no-preloader, ten second stick flash...

Hopefully they'll make a limit for the vote panel appearance time, so we won't have to wait a minute and half to vote on shoddy crap.

I agree. I wish it would just pop up the second the page is loaded. Then again, people would take advantage of it and vote on the submission even if they didn't watch it...

Hm, yes. The new filesize may bring a lot of large file-size crap into the Portal. But I also think it will bring flash epics and allow better submissions. The two meg restriction for frequently blammed submitters was unfair in my opinion, glad they got rid of that.

yea, gotta agree with that, maybe some good flashes won't be so compressed and they will have better quality. For example, battle for the portal. Pretty pixely. Now, maybe the xombie movies will me longer!

You know, I think my voing power dropped by .01, because a while ago I saw my VP as 5.87 but now it's 5.86. IM LOSING IT!!!

Tails, terrible just terrible!! lol... I was wondering why 6 meg flashes were coming in. I think it's good so good flashes can come in without emailing/pming TomFulp. OF course I can only watch the small ones with this slow connection. Ever since I joined this group its been really slow. LOL

It's because you're not depositing everyday. Pimp keeps the level 30 EXP moving up, and the base Vote Power distribution keeps skewing.

If someone over level 9 stops depositing EXP, their base vote power will slowly drop back to 5.00 (although it will never actually reach it, since Pimp would need infinite EXP for that).

I didn't know that was on a scale... woo, I learned something. The upload limit (and blam limit removal) change could have an interesting effect on submissions, hopefully more good then bad. Some submissions suffer as a result of reduced filesize (and not wanting to bother Tom over it), it could bring a whole new era of... good.

Or bigger Spam flashes... that's where we come in.

I've skimmed through what I've misses and noticed we have a new apprentace, cool.

But back to why I came here. Anyone ever vote on one portal entry and then the site thinks that you deposited 5? That happens to me a lot, is newgrounds having some problems?

Get cable, its sooo much better. I mean, it was the best day of my life when we changed from dial-up to the highspeed cable. I was on newgrounds for hours at a time watching movies I couldnt before because of my slow dial-up.

I love you cable ^_^

Damn that ban was a lot longer then I'd liked. So what's been going on around here for the past month?

The only explanation I can think of is that you must have done overtime in the previous Portal day, overtime always carries over to the next day.

A month long ban? WTF did you do? The most I ever got was a 14 day ban, and I never got one after that. Usually police officers dont get bans because they are MODEL POSTERS!

the longest ban iv had is 0...

im a good little boy.....

Bans turn you into a man. I used to get a ban every month, but the more and more bans I got, the more I learned and grew acustom to the rules of the BBS. So now, I basically know what and what not to type without me worrying of a rule-breaking statemnt.

i came on NG for a long time before i joined... and i read most of the rules then, so i kinda knew all the BBS rules the moment i joined,

lol, I've only been banned twice. (two six hours).

Also, guys if you look at the new, you can see where Tom Fulp changed names and other stuff. I GOT FREMEN!!!! No more numbers bitches.

I honestly think that all of this name-changing and portal rule changing is going to make NG a way better place, no matter how many users hate it.

Holy inactivity Batman! Off the first page.

Wow, you deserve a gold star. I've had about 8 bans, three of them three day bans. I was never a spam poster, I just used to have a hard time determining wherther or not a topic is a "spam topic".

When I first went on forums, I got 2 bans, a bit later I said a joke was lame so I got a ban for that... I think it was for posting in a crap topic... and that's all the bans I've had. Too many replies in 30 minutes isn't a ban! I've had that happen to me tons of times.

Oh, I almost forgot about you, well actually i forgot completely about you and your ban.
While you were gone, we've had a new procedure to replace the oath. Since you've been gone so long and never really got a start here, we're going to make you an Apprentice for a week. This week is a time for you to make a name for yourself within the NGPD and show everyone that you're good enough to become an official member. However, if you do not meet our expectations, you'll lose your status as apprentice and no longer be part of this group. You up for it?

God I love this Apprentice thing!

God I love that other people like this apprentice thing...

Well guys, I've finally gotten off my lazy ass and decided to redraw the front part of the uniform on Paint. I changed a couple features from the original but I'm sure it looks a lot better. I might start working on the rear view today if I feel like it. Comments? Criticisms? Hope you guys like it!

I really like how this came out and still say that you got some mad skillz when it comes to Paint. It looks like something that I wouldn't mind wearing to protect my own fur and skin, and it also looks pretty durable and would last a bit. Nice job Tails, can't wait to see the other side. :)

wow. Amazing. How long did it take you to draw all of that? I really like how you paid attention to detail, like making the pants look like pants instead of straight sheets.

-Kickass picture-

Yes, I do, and I'm sure everyone one else does too. Also, I got a protection point for Madness 6; woot! Anyone else enjoying that flash?

same. only it was waaaaaaayyyy to expensive, so after about 6 months of bugging Verizon to get DSL in my area, they finallaly did. its about 20-30 bucks cheaper, and its not that much slower. although i do envy that power boost. ive seen it in action. i downloaded the YuYu (about 8-8.5 megs) in about 5 seconds

Hey guys. I've been voting on a lot of movies, and once they pass or get blammed, I will most likely be an Elite Guard. I regret rarely ever posting here, I might still come back here and post something every now and then. Be sure to put me in the Honorably Discharged section the next time you update the site.

Tails, I see how that NGPD uniform is good for raids and riot controll and all, but were you thinking of making a more casual steet-like uniform. When I get flash, I have a plan for my own NGPD flash, but I dont want to use those uniforms, the situation I will be having might require something like a normal police uniform. You know, something without a bullet proof vest and all.

Its best that I get this dressy like uniform from you cuz you're the leader, and I wouldnt want to piss you off by having people wear clown suits. =P

it looks a lot better. but it seems too military for a police officer. i think if you made it less roit control and more street. i like the vest, but get rid of the knee and elbow pads, adn make it a little less baggy.

Yes, I just got a bit of a giggle going on there when I thought of the NGPD doing crowd controll with knee and elbow pads. Hehe.

Oh yes, I would like to take this chance to recruit any tetris fans. The tetris crew is under new management and the leaders are TheThing and I. (yes a co-leadership)

So, if you enjoy tetris just a little bit, try stoppin by and see if you like the place.
