Anyway, the banner is still in works via PM and I think we're getting there.

Yes sorry I know I'm grateful for your help.

I guess I can't speak from a girls prospective, but I don't know if I would appreciate being called a man if I was female. ;)

Anyway, the banner looks really good. You put that together in a very small amount of time. That's pretty good man. Anyway, for the flash. I have a buddy who is really good at flash and he would do it for free, but he's so lazy and he doesn't ever actually end up finishing what he starts. =P Other than that I guess if there was money involved you could advertise in the Flash Forums with a thread. Those threads are allowed and all you would have to do is explain what you want done in detail. You can ask the people to show you examples of their work so you know you are getting quality work back too.

Even though there are artists out there that will work for free. Sometimes good ones, but most of the time they are the amateur or beginner flash artists.

Pardon the intrusion Phantom, don't mean to step on anyone's feet. To DarkSoldier, thanks for clearing things up. Even though I doubt you were trying to defend me, thanks. I don't want to be known as the former BBS Dept. member who hacked the NGDD account. When a few things are fixed, I would like to come back. But only if you guys let me, of course.

If I were an intelligent user I'd look at the profile and see that despite the "England" as location, the English spoken is not the kind a native English would learn. That would be the point where I would also question the said gender, and abide the law that there are few if any women on the Newgrounds BBS. Then I would also notice that most of the women who are women are members of the BBS female user club.

Lastly I'd also take a note to the fact that in Newgrounds there need be no correlation between the age and gender you write, and who you really are; explaining why it is called an alias.

But I'm not that guy, am I?

I have a buddy.

No.

Don't take it too personally, but I'd be more comfortable if you...how shall I put it...had nothing to do with this project.

Nah, you are the guy that is so insecure and so upset about how bad his real life is that he takes it out in a fake world such as the internet where he can be anyone he wants to be. And you aren't being the person you really are in real life because you can't man up and be this kind of person in real life. Even if you were you would clearly have no friends to act this way around anyway since you drive the people away that even have a chance of being your friends. The ones that are your friends are just too scared to talk back to you and give you any resistance. When somebody actually does do this you happen to be lost and confused how someone would ever stand up to you. You then resort to profanity and name calling to seem like that internet badass again. I know what guy you are and so don't other people. I'm just one of the few that will say it.


I have a buddy.
No.

Yes actually I do. It's hard to compare to your life I know.

Nah not taken personally at all. Anyway, who would want a person who is one of the best animators that I have ever seen to do your work? If he submitted work to newgrounds he would have several scattered throughout the top 100 and top 50. Like I said though, why would I be offended for you not to even take this into consideration? You clearly didn't read the rest though or perhaps you didn't comprehend it, but I said he wouldn't be able to anyway. Of course you state the same exact thing that I have again, but you just do it in your words to get some sense of power of it for some reason.

I'm getting awful sick of this. You don't like me because I don't appreciate your "entertaining" spam, or something like that. I'm not crazy about you for your obsessive need to pick arguments over every little thing, nitpicking at things that should have long ago died.

But I have to protest the boldness of slinging cheap and irrelevant shots at me that hold no ground. I've put up with your behavior long enough because you seem fickle and sometimes a bit helpful. But I weighed this down and decided that your attitude and my role in this club will not function together. We agree to disagree, yes. BUT I am still in charge of this thread and I'm trying to make a more user friendly place, attract new members that will benefit us. You can continue chucking your insults at me anywhere you please, except for at this thread, because here we are trying to be a united club, about Newgrounds.

You however carry on with your spam arguments, the claymation arguments, the "Phantom's a power hungry meanie" arguments and it's getting old.

So as the person currently in charge of this club, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
I'm afraid your name will be moved to the discharged list, nothing dishonorable; nothing insulting, but since we are in disagreement you'll just have to go.

Farewell.

Well, we are planning to improve some things, ShortMonkey is currently working to upgrade the DodBot's user page appearance and we'll be changing the way the memberlist is kept, as well as planning a flash to help with bringing new people to our ranks.

As with all changes, some people come, and some people go. Glad you could post and I hope you stick around longer this time.

Sorry, did not mean to ignore your posting about your banner ShortMonkey. I did not know you had that link till just now. Well my verdict I like it the look is simple, but not to over the top cool and simple design. Only thing was maybe the colors could have been brighter, and the text more bolder. But I think its good and defiently should be used. I have not got a PM yet. I'm worried about why I have not recieved any emails, when my favorite authors submit something. Looking through my settings nothing seems to be the trouble. I have got all the sending options any idea what may be the trouble?. This began when they started using the new picture logos. Hope this post make sense.

Wait, so you can put down and insult every other person? New people who want to be members, older members who were members, already current members with every other post? Man you look for an argument with ever other post you make. Also you do know that you can shut your mouth to right? Just because I say something doesn't mean you have to talk back. If anything it makes you look like a man. Looks like neither of us could stop that.

You try to make this a friendly place? Is that a joke? Like I said if a new user were to come in here and see this a friendly place and see their all mighty leader Phantom putting every single person down they probably wouldn't join. Like I said to APF last night, I know a lot of people who would be good member and won't join because of you. People that actually might do something with this club since we don't do anything. We don't do anything at all. You guys keep saying your going to do something, but thats what the last 20 pages or so consisted of. Just talking the talk and not walking the walk.

I will have a talk with APF about this. Again, where was this disagreement? I suggested things to help and then all you do is talk about Mr. Sprite and how you don't want me to be a part of this club. Oh boy real friendly huh. Oh well, I didn't think you could take the heat when someone talked back to you and you proved it here. What a great leader. Ever notice this place was running perfectly fine when you weren't around man? People wanted to join every other day and the club was actually accomplishing something. It's not just by coincidence that people started leaving and stopped joining when you came back. What threw you off? Me being honest and explaining your life the way it really is?

Oh well it's my last post here until I talk to APF.

I reserve the right to address people with whichever way I think they'll understand best in. And I'm done saying this because APF won't save you here. You fail to understand that even if we are members in one website, and neither is each others employer, in this club I am your superior. Meaning that by any law of courtesy we are not equal and you may address me with any problem, but to publicly dispute me and carry on with your endless whiny need to demean people with accusations that bear no interest to the subject has been worn out.

since when do you call my actions towards a few people who deserved what they got; everyone? also, I again reserve the right to do that and seeing as how the place is still alive, working and people enjoy it, I think we could attract more people if your kind was away from here.

By your kind I mean people who choose to disagree furiously with any opinion that doesn't match theirs. Sadly you also belong to a minority of Newgrounds who enjoys the "concept of spam" and whatnot, so I suggest you take your business and take it somewhere else.

Join all the "Phantom sucks" organizations you like, but there's no stopping the fact that your countless disputes with me, and resulting with disputes with other members, has been played it out and that is why I asked you to leave...even if you did insist on writing another "last post" in which you again try to insult me with things that neither true nor relevant.

I will have a talk with APF about this. Again, where was this disagreement?

It's not just by coincidence that people started leaving and stopped joining when you came back. What threw you off? Me being honest and explaining your life the way it really is?

Oh well it's my last post here until I talk to APF.

This started with a simple joke in my profile, where I said "cut it out" which you blew way out of proportions, and that is the kind of behavior I don't want in the NGDD I'm trying to represent. Not to mention that by attempting to insult me and the good I bring to the club, you insult APF on his choice to make me that leader. I bet he'd love to help you now. Also, in any of your lengthy posts, "honesty" was the last thing to think of while reading it. what I can read from your posts is bitterness and spite from some uncompleted childhood which is why you have the need to disagree with everyone.

You must think for some reason that having a rough childhood is an excuse to say whatever you want, public etiquette aside because it's just the "internet". Well at this point I have to say that I don't care why you do this, but I do care if it happens in the club I run, the club I'm trying to improve.

I was appointed here because it takes more than a friendly look on your face to run something. If you're such a catch, why didn't APF choose you in my absence? Did you humbly reject the position or did he also deny it of you?

Now, for what I hope is the last time, get out and stop bugging my club. It takes a bigger man to walk away, you could at least start with it once in your life time.

*In other news*

ShortMonkey has been very nice to us and has created our new profile pic and banner. Now I look forward to cooperating with as many of you as possible, to create this NGDD flash introduction.

Considering I was brought into the argument currently on the NGDD forum, I'm going to speak out and end it right here. I don't care who is right or who is wrong when a disagreement begins you take it to the PM system. Granted I may not look like the greatest leader because I haven't been here as much lately, but I still AM a leader and this is where I stop the forum war.

We're supposed to be working together as a unit and coming together to make Newgrounds a better place, and I'm sure as hell not going to stand by and watch the members fight over power and stupid bullshit. I don't care who has power and who doesn't everyone has a say in changing the way the NGDD is going to be run...just like they did last year at this time when I began reforming rules and processes.

This isn't making us look good at all. I'm sick of all the fighting that goes on in here and if there's going to be a change in the NGDD then this will be the first one we make.

As of right now Gu-rrilla your request to join the NGDD is on hold and Corky you're suspended from the NGDD forum until everything is worked out. Don't take that the wrong way either because a suspension isn't always a bad thing, however you are to take it seriously enough that you'll know not to post if you really want to be a part of the NGDD.

I'll be speaking with everyone tonight, hopefully I can catch a couple of people online.


Yea, I farm Anal Penguins. Do something about it.

If I may interject, as a 3rd party who hasn't been around the last couple of days.

Corky doesn't really seem like the guy who would try to get into arguments, nor nitpick. He may have done it in the last couple of days, but not before then. He's always seemed like an average, upstanding individual.

Wait, so you can put down and insult every other person?

No, he hasn't insulted anyone who hasn't deserved it. Granted, sometimes he takes it too far, but he only puts down those who are assholes or douchebags. He has really gotten his anger under control since about this time last year.

Man you look for an argument with ever other post you make.

No, he's one of the best members of the NGDD, EGB, and various other clubs. Sure, he's got a temper and he's arrogant, but he doesn't try to get into fights. He's incredibly helpful most of the time.

We agree to disagree, yes. BUT I am still in charge of this thread and I'm trying to make a more user friendly place, attract new members that will benefit us. You can continue chucking your insults at me anywhere you please, except for at this thread, because here we are trying to be a united club, about Newgrounds.
You try to make this a friendly place? Is that a joke? Like I said if a new user were to come in here and see this a friendly place and see their all mighty leader Phantom putting every single person down they probably wouldn't join.

Or they see douche bags like you who take insignificant problems and blow them up. Look, I know that Phantom can be an asshole sometimes, but he's a nice guy most of the time, and is funny when you're not in the way of his rants. He could have gone old school on your ass and just hollowed you out so he can have another place to piss, but he showed restraint and didn't.

Every user that comes in here are either going to like it here, or not. If they don't see anything wrong with a heated debate like this, then let them stay. But if they complain about it, then let them leave. No one in this club has the power to kick Phantom out; he's been here forever, and has accrued so much respect and power that it would take some one cutting his internet line to stop him from coming here. Like it or not, Phantom's here to stay, with all of his baggage. Either tolerate or gtfo.

Like I said to APF last night, I know a lot of people who would be good member and won't join because of you.

Well that's unfortunate. But like I said, if they don't like Phantom, they won't join. Phantom is a permanent fixture around here.

People that actually might do something with this club since we don't do anything. We don't do anything at all. You guys keep saying your going to do something, but thats what the last 20 pages or so consisted of. Just talking the talk and not walking the walk.

You could do something too. I've run a contest. The first one of the new NGDD. That contest was a bitch to do. There was so much work involved, and I did it all because I love the NGDD. If you want to do a contest or anything, go for it. Put the time and effort in. If you do, your level of respect from me will raise from "average" to "he's a great guy". I know that may not mean a lot to you, but I can jump in an argument like this and say "hey, Corky's done some shit for the NGDD". It'll fit somewhere.

You however carry on with your spam arguments, the claymation arguments, the "Phantom's a power hungry meanie" arguments and it's getting old.

Well, the claymation arguments were legit. A bit petty, but legit. It's a serious question, and if we feel that it shouldn't be part of NG, then we might be able to convince Tom to not let them be posted.

So as the person currently in charge of this club, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
I'm afraid your name will be moved to the discharged list, nothing dishonorable; nothing insulting, but since we are in disagreement you'll just have to go.

That's a bit harsh. The kid was just voicing his opinion of you. Sure, he's been a douche recently, but he's been a good member both here and in the EGB. He at least has the right to a second chance.

Again, where was this disagreement? I suggested things to help and then all you do is talk about Mr. Sprite and how you don't want me to be a part of this club.

From what I've read, you've been dishing out some shots at Phantom, like saying stuff like:

"that the post that Phantom made was the first witty or funny post that he has ever made when flaming somebody"

"I don't know if I would appreciate being called a man if I was female"

"you are the guy that is so insecure and so upset about how bad his real life is that he takes it out in a fake world such as the internet where he can be anyone he wants to be"

(when talking about Phantom refuting Cordy's buddy)"Yes actually I do. It's hard to compare to your life I know"

And that's all from just the last page. So as far as I see it, you're in the wrong. You insulted Phantom first, and he retaliated.

Oh boy real friendly huh.

You're just as friendly as he is.

Oh well, I didn't think you could take the heat when someone talked back to you and you proved it here.

No, he was insulted and retaliated in a professional manner. Saying stuff like "You need to change the way you do (insert task here)" would be talking back to him. What you did was insult him.

Ever notice this place was running perfectly fine when you weren't around man?

It was running fine when he wasn't around. Of course, we had our original leadeship, a smaller, more mature group, and overall better members. So yeah, it was good when Phantom wouldn't be around for a time, because he wasn't in charge of everything, and we had members that would do stuff.

Hell, after 2 months under APF, this club was beginning to crumble. Not that he's a bad leader, but after the initial spike, the club just kept slipping downhill like it was before APF came back.

People wanted to join every other day and the club was actually accomplishing something.

People were joining more when Phantom wasn't around because new members are intimadated by people who have 4515646513614 combined stats. I was when I joined.

As for accomplishing stuff, we never really do that. We're more of a social club that points out the things that are wrong with NG.

Me being honest and explaining your life the way it really is?

You may have been explaining his life the way it really is, but I'm sure Phantom knows that. He's dealt with depression, so I'm sure he knows about his life pretty well. He doesn't need you to tell him.

I don't really like the font used on the "department of defense", but other than that, it looks awesome.

I don't care who is right or who is wrong when a disagreement begins you take it to the PM system. Granted I may not look like the greatest leader because I haven't been here as much lately, but I still AM a leader and this is where I stop the forum war.

We're supposed to be working together as a unit and coming together to make Newgrounds a better place, and I'm sure as hell not going to stand by and watch the members fight over power and stupid bullshit. I don't care who has power and who doesn't everyone has a say in changing the way the NGDD is going to be run...just like they did last year at this time when I began reforming rules and processes.

This isn't making us look good at all. I'm sick of all the fighting that goes on in here and if there's going to be a change in the NGDD then this will be the first one we make.

As of right now Gu-rrilla your request to join the NGDD is on hold and Corky you're suspended from the NGDD forum until everything is worked out. Don't take that the wrong way either because a suspension isn't always a bad thing, however you are to take it seriously enough that you'll know not to post if you really want to be a part of the NGDD.

I'll be speaking with everyone tonight, hopefully I can catch a couple of people online.

WHAT THE FUCK!?!
And Phantom gets off just like that!?
He takes user's comments way too far, overreacting as always and, nothing? APF, I respect your decision to the very heart and soul of this department, but Phantom continues to mock, taunt, and flame potential members; Even the regulars here are mistreated. He has been the start of most of the flame wars in this crew, giving it the unfriendly environment that this club has worked so hard to extinguish. Honestly, how one can try to just standby and watch idly, putting on a facade while this demon of a person continues his inhuman frenzy on us? He is the exact definition of the user we try to correct to make newgrounds a better place. As written in the very NGDD profile, we are not here to be spammers and assholes around the BBS, but instead be role models for the Department of Defense. Should we all be the kind of role model Phantom is, taunting everyone who even tries to join the NGDD?

As always, you make good points I try and put into consideration. APF contacted me and we discussed the whole thing. Sadly I'm afraid Corky's actions now and where I'm trying to lead this club, don't mix. He will remain discharged until some time goes by and he learns to prove otherwise. If he does, I, along with others of importance here, will discuss his return. gu-rrilla will be included in that as well.

I thought everyone knew going into this club, that I'm an asshole. I take great pride in knowing small children with a computer hate me so fiercely.

You on the other hand, are obviously upset. To that I would like to say that:

A). People don't live in a bubble, some day your boss/commander/wife will taunt you as well and I suggest dealing with this reality now, before it's too late out there in the "RL".

B). The demon part made me laugh.

C). you're not in any trouble because I can see this is stress related, APF will contact you and you'll go over this more.

Anyone else?

Ok guys, I'm going to interfere. I just want to state that Phantom did not start the flame war. He dealt with it calmly and intelligently. Phantom is the boss. If he wants to kick someone out, he can do that. So what if he's strict? I'm not going to say whether I think Corky should be kicked or not because this is not a democracy and my thought doesn't matter.

Phantom deserves to be the man in charge - he has been here longer than any of us have, deals with problems intelligently (if you think he started the flame war, you're on crack), has fixed his anger problem on the BBS which he used to have and has gained the respect he deserves. If you don't respect him, something is wrong with you.

If he wants to make a decision and none of the other leaders agree with him, he can do that. That doesn't mean the other leaders don't have any power, it just means that Phantom has the most power over this club and I think he deserves it.

I suggest all the rebels here stop telling Phantom what he should do... unless you all want to be kicked out of the NGDD. Remember, this isn't a democracy. You have to earn your place and your right to make important decisions.

On another note:

Please check out the redesigned NGDD userpage. I hope you like the new graphics directed by Phantom and put into practice by me.

Here's an idea: no more talk of the flame war from here on out. No interjections, no nothing. Use PM to APF or Phantom if you need anything else. There's other stuff to deal with right now.

Seriously, no more from anybody. Don't even quote this.

As for the DoDBot page it is starting to really shape up. I like the look of it so far.

As for the Flash bit, just letting everyone know that ideas are being tossed around via PM, so that is moving as well.

No on has posted yesterday at all, so this is get annoying. I'd like to say that the Corky issue has been solved with no unnecessary casualties.

Also, I will now be beginning the process of preparing some voice audio for the planned Flash..Just to see if my voice will suffice as the main one of the movie.

I didn't have time to read up on the NGDD movie so I don't know whats going on. In fact I don't know whats happening at all anymore. So I can't really contribute.

You may think this is a pointless post but it's really not. I'm simply just letting you know that I'm here and still posting in the forum.


Yea, I farm Anal Penguins. Do something about it.

Hey! It's my favorite flash author! (Sorry RSQ and Short)

I'm guessing you stopped working on that Bloc Party song that we were collaborating on?
