Why do all the users have to show up as neutral?

O GOD i forgot im one of the top 2000
forgot to inform the place

#76 bigbadron 13,965
#77 ReconRebel 13,970

Woo-hoo! Slowly but surely Recon is climbing his way up the experience ranks! I think the trick to staying motivated is not to check the list every day. Last time I stopped in here bigbadron was 50 points ahead of me. Not anymore. ^_^

Heh, I check it daily to make sure I haven't missed any deposits in the last week. Probably a bit excessive, but when you're depositing for an account a bit lower in the ranks at least the faster-paced movement is a little more interesting.

Of course you've always got the big leap factor on the other hand. ; )

who is the 2000th?

I think he meant 2,001st.
My alt is 255 points away.
I am 20 points away from passing Kwas. 30 more to pass RyoHahn.

Gee, what a mystery. #;-}>

The same person has been depositing for both accounts for over a year, it's no big secret. And besides, HT has been a collective for a looong time. One of the people with access to HT from way back happens to be teh Shrapnel.

Well I started visiting this site more regularily back in early 2002 and never decided to sign up until November of that year because I wanted to review a flash. By the time I paid any attention to experience points and who was #1 in experience points, it was ht52 and from that point on it was him.

Replace that first line by "I started visiting the site a bit in 1999, signed up in early 2000, but didn't start visiting every day until early 2003" and you've got my situation down perfectly as well. HT was ahead of Pimp when I first starting caring about exp and exp rank at all (January 2003).

Looking back in the wayback machine, I can see now when Pimp was top dog...
http://web.archive.o../20011108011014/http

That's familiar to me, but only because I've seen similar wayback machine links before and also screenshots Shrapnel and others had taken back in the olden days from 2000 and 2001.

//www.newgrounds.com/users_list.html

Now I joined a year later and the top users had ht52 as #1:
http://web.archive.o../20021204101031/http

And yeah, that looks like a "classic top 50 exp segment from when I was getting into NG hardcore." Ahhh, meeeeemmmmories.

Pimp can certainly miss a few safely. But will he?

Keep in mind that HT was 30 ahead of him for a loooong time, then 20... then 10... and then they were tied.

After the tie happened, it was only a matter of time until a slip-up happened.

Pimp may have a comfortable multi-day lead, but he's not going to want it to shrink any. Now, if he got a 200+ exp lead on HT's account, then I could see him missing a day or two every few months, but nothing major.

Still, any break for us exp-depositing slaves = GREATNESS, so I'm all for it. Anyone wanna try bribing Pimp now that he's got some room to breathe? #;-}>

Plus wanting that next level, I can't afford to miss a deposit. With only gaining 2-3 exp per day. Pimp needs to miss a couple days now :)

Again... he really does. But who can convince him to do so? You give it a try, ramagi. Seduce him into it... if you have to. #;-}>

im thinking ill probably be a lvl 16 before i get into the top 500.

7650 exp out of 8119 XTNL for 16...

versus...

exp rank #552...

A few weeks ago you were thinking level 16 first?

I dunno, man. I didn't pay extremely close attention to my alt-alt's progress or anything, but gfox got from #550 to #500 in what seems like a damned short period of time. Much shorter than a level up takes, certainly.

And you're around 500 exp from a level? at 15->16? That's quite some time.

As long as you don't miss any deposits, I'd say top 500 will come first. There's a whole lot of +0 exp or +20 exp people every week between you and the top 500. Not very many +70s compared to other portions of the top 1000.

Or maybe both Pimp and HT will be locked down and no deposits will be possible for those accounts for... oh, say... 2 months or so? Man, that would be heaven.

It'd probably trim my time to level 29 down from like 52 years to 48 years. #;-}>

Moving into the top 500 are TitanAura, Sakurazukamori, ShdowOfTheNite, Suicidal-kid, Mackie40k, Spoony_Bard, Ehwaz003, gfox, and Jossos.

Hell freakin' YEAH!

Three accounts, all made by me, all nurtured by me... from 2003 to now.... IN TEH TOP 500! That's what I'm talkin' about!

I shoulda deposited 999999 and 1000000 into the top 500 as well and then I'd have 5 out of 500 for 1% of the top 500. That'd be pretty nifty. #;-}>

Same here, of course. Only diff is, I'm slipping down the top 50 b/p list faster than you are... and I'm a lot further off from the top 50 exp list than you are.

A happy medium? I'd be happy with top 50 of both, even if it meant slipping out of the top 25 b/p just to get my account to #50 in exp. Damned happy with that, actually. Beats 93 in exp and 8 in b/p.

It looks fine with green IMO as well, but red is definitely better than blue in the case of level 25.

That's one of my favorite features on BBB's list. Instead of scratching your head trying to remember if you deposited you can simply pull up his list and check the experience difference column. If he wanted to, BBB could have some mischievous fun with certain users.

Probably a bit excessive, but when you're depositing for an account a bit lower in the ranks at least the faster-paced movement is a little more interesting.

True enough FIG. You're poised to leave ShadowZero, bluntedboy and Yota eating dust. Any idea how long you've got before you reach level 20? spancker is about 120 points away from the skull crusher as I call it.

Last time I stopped in here bigbadron was 50 points ahead of me. Not anymore. ^_^

Of course you've always got the big leap factor on the other hand. ; )

Not anymore. There's a swarm of users ahead of me who deposit on a regular basis. The closest user that seems to have given up is capn_g who's ranked 66th at the moment. You know something FIG? There was a time when all I could think about was getting as many b/p points as possible (100+) and now I'm happy if I nail 40 per day. Experience deposits are my main concern now. Good to hear from you again FIG.

That may have something to do with your inactivity on the portal gfox. Then again it could be those fucking garden gnomes. 0_o

I know. I'm still amazed each time I look at your sign-up date. I mean, where the hell did you disappear to for all that time gfox? Didn't you even consider asking someone to deposit for you while you were gone?

Sorry gfox, I have to disagree with you on this one. I'm probably gonna raise a few eyebrows with my next post but wht the hell. Shit disturber is my middle name. The blue aura sucks with any icon... period. I had it for a short time when your votes decided your aura but immediately changed back to neutral when it was removed. The neutral aura is still my favorite but level 25 doesn't have the same pizzazz as it does with a dark aura.

Level 24 is another cool looking icon but it's still a long way off. I might reach it somewhere in 2009 or 2010. Christ, I hope I don't die before then (lol).

Yeah the skull crusher rocks. I think it's one of the most intimidating icons out of the bunch. Haha! I do believe the number of insults I dished out tripled during the first week I had it. ^_^

It updates your experince points as soon as you deposit them and it updates your rank as soon as the profile update which is around 5 AM ET.

How does someone jump 5 spots anyway?

I've deposited everyday but I usually only go up one spot each week.

I feel special.

im not on there though
so...yeah...

I remember passing those folks what seems like not that long ago. I can't believe Yota has fallen so far. I remember when that account was on the top 50 list. O_o

The closest user that seems to have given up is capn_g who's ranked 66th at the moment.

Oh noe, not capn_g. ;_; He is a mainstay on ADGBC, but yeah... he's kinda given up on NG. Long ago.

That may have something to do with your inactivity on the portal gfox. Then again it could be those fucking garden gnomes. 0_o

My inactivity on the portal started in early October of last year, but I remained at #3 for quite some time. It seems like I slipped from #3 to #7 in like no time at all, but I have remained at #7 and now at #8 for quite some time at each spot. :::shrugs:::

My only point is, there IS such a thing as not slipping down a list while STILL remaining inactive. It's called: huge lead, people behind you aren't trying to pass you like rabid jackals. Is that too much to ask for? #;-}>

I know. I'm still amazed each time I look at your sign-up date. I mean, where the hell did you disappear to for all that time gfox? Didn't you even consider asking someone to deposit for you while you were gone?

It wasn't a matter of disappearing, it was a matter of not really "being here" that much to begin with. I'm not sure what you started doing the very first day you made your account on NG in 2002, Recon, but when I signed up in 2000, I wasn't all that interested in grounds gold and to a new sign-up like myself... NG didn't seem to offer that much stuff. You had to really go hunting for stuff back then. I deposited gold now and then, but I was mostly on NG to play flash games and every now and then vote on them. I'd drop by maybe once a month to play a flash game or two and that was about it.

In the fall of 2002, I reviewed a few entries in the portal for some reason. Then came January 2003. I discovered b/p. I finally had enough curiosity about those "0 blams" and "0 saves" and the citizen badge in my profile to do something about changing them. At the same time, I was at 930 exp. 930 exp almost 3 years after my sign-up date.

That's what happened. A few weeks later, I found the BBS. The rest is history. Short summary/timeline:

1999: found site, played flash games
2000: signed up 3 months after profiles began, got a bit of exp, played more flash games
2001: got a biiiit more exp, played more flash games
2002: watched my first flash movie, got a bit more exp, reviewed my first flash entries
2003: discovered b/p, discovered depositing exp DAILY instead of monthly, discovered BBS.... etc.

That's exactly what I'm gunning for too. If I don't slack off I should make the top 50 users long before I see level 25. YoinK has the gold gauntlet now. Life is so unfair. * kicks a rock which proceeds to fly through the neighbor's window *

Hm. So you believe level 24 will still be the #50 spot by the time you make it to the top 50, eh? I wonder which level will be the lowest on the top 50 by the time I make it there. Maybe... well, actually, it could be like 23... or 24... or 25. It could go either way, depending on how many dormants there are around 40-60 in the ranks.

The great thing about being in our position (the 51-100 range, I mean) is that it's no longer really a matter of IF we'll get to the top 50... it's more a matter of WHEN, yanno? #;-}>

I'd be happy making it to the top 50 by... eh... 2008. But I wouldn't be surprised if it takes longer. Or shorter. Just depends on how many people get dormant enough for me to slip by them. I have the required patience, so I'm not worried about that.

I bet your OCD hates that ratio.

I don't tend to worry about the ratio. #8 in b/p's an okay number. Not as groovy as 6 or 9, but at least 8 is even. 93 is odd, though... and not only that, I like numbers like 91, 95, and 99... but 93 and 97 are just bleh (37... see why I don't like that number? Yet I do love 36, of course. Still, I don't like numbers that END in 3 for the most part, I've got nothing against 3s or 7s that START numbers as a general rule).

But I'll be moving up to #92 later this week, and I believe to #91 next week, so it won't be much longer till I rewind the clock back to the 80s.

Sorry gfox, I have to disagree with you on this one. I'm probably gonna raise a few eyebrows with my next post but wht the hell. Shit disturber is my middle name. The blue aura sucks with any icon... period.

You're not hurting my feelings with that one, I'm no fan of the light aura (nor of the dark, but that's not the subject #;-}>) myself. However, I would argue that there ARE at least 2 oe 3 icons that look nice with it. Level 16 for one. Level 16 looks bad-ass with ANY of the three colours, so... there is that. #;-}> Anywho, all I said was that red > blue in the case of 25. Green is apples and oranges to that equation, I was setting it aside.

I had it for a short time when your votes decided your aura but immediately changed back to neutral when it was removed. The neutral aura is still my favorite but level 25 doesn't have the same pizzazz as it does with a dark aura.

Perhaps so, but green + gold = nice and Irish, so I personally look forward to the gold gauntlet over the nice green background. #;-}>

Yes, it does look like a sight to behold with red, though.

Level 24 is another cool looking icon but it's still a long way off. I might reach it somewhere in 2009 or 2010. Christ, I hope I don't die before then (lol).

I'm hitting level 24 in 3 years and 6 months according to Denvish's exp calc. That would be December of 2009.

So I'd wager you're hitting level 24 in either late 2008 or early-mid 2009.

It'll be till 2010 for level 25 for you (2011 for me), though. So... did that cheer you up at all, since you seem to have overestimated the level difficulties just a bit? #;-}>

Yeah the skull crusher rocks. I think it's one of the most intimidating icons out of the bunch. Haha! I do believe the number of insults I dished out tripled during the first week I had it. ^_^

Heh. I wasn't around on the BBS enough when I hit lv20 to test out that phenomenon in myself.

Yeah. Stupid lv23. ;_;

gfox, there aren't many dominant depositers. There are people who keep missing deposits. People who were really dominant one time are now completely inactive today. As for leveling up, if humantarget and pimp miss some deposits .. like they have been... leveling up won't take as long. Maybe one of them will go inactive in the next couple of years. I've noticed shrapnel missed several deposits. If you are determined and never miss a deposit, then you will absolutely reach the top 50 user list.

im ever so slowly getting towards the top 500, just broke the top 550.
havnt missed a deposit in awhile, its been quiet an effort on occasion to be able to get on the internet to do it but ive managed.
hopefully i can keep it up and keep moving up, i want to be on the 1st page of the top2000 users.

I'm currently 1,561! I deposit everyday, and I am moving on up.

I love looking at this list every now and then.
there's definitely a potential chance of passing someone on this list sometime this summer.

S o close to the top 500...

Welcome to the monthly update, no real big new this month enjoy.

Notes about the List:

The list was updated 7/01/06.

The current month is listed first, with current rank, username and experience. Then you have last months info with rank at the first of last month then the username. Then exp and then we have change in rank since last month and change in experience since last month.
In case of a tie I give the nod to the lower profile id, if a non profile person is tied they go last.
I only concentrate on the people moving up on the list now, the slackers should get no attention. I mostly do things in groups of 100 for moving up except the top 50 since it the only part that NG lists.

Well the top 50 was inactive for anyone new, and looks like it will stay that way for the next month.

Moving up into the top 100 was Soul_Blade.

Moving up into the top 200 are mortalcoil and xaus.

Moving into the top 300 are Bertuzzi44, DarkArchon, M-A-R-C-U-S, cap123, davidtug, AZPunishe, and Blitz_Mage.
