I went away, tried to improve the quality of my posts and the amount I post. I now have an average of 7.7 per day and I think I make decent, helpful contributions to the BBS. I mainly post on general, but I am trying to branch out into politics and Wi/Ht. Just wanted to know, am I good enough to join yet?

If not, what can I improve on?

I'm going to deny your application just because you haven't been on Newgrounds for more then a month. I've also looked at your posts and they either consist of you insulting someone or saying "Jesus" and then ending it off with an insult. I've noticed that those posts you made insulting someone was when someone said either something stupid or mean. You shouldn't reply to those posts as they're spam. You still have much to work on and can start by working on that.

I know that you asked to join on the page before but you still haven't improved by much. So yes, I'm denying your application unless the one who evaluated you before, Phantom, thinks that you've improved and is ready to join.

Maybe it have something to do with the pores and the follicles and such.

It could have something to do with the fact that as you shave, you remove some skin. Since the skin underneath isn't completely ready to be on the outside, you feel pain when you hit it with water. Like when you skin your knee and you wash it out; it tingles a little.

Way too much spam out there right now. I don't get what's up with all of it, is it like some sort of special spam season? Tom or Wade will delete it all eventually so why do they bother? It's beyond me.

Well if you look in the obituaries lots have been blammed, including that one I posted its seems to be getting out of hand lately, if only people would vote fairly this would not happen. The Duck Division seem to be the new Kitty Krew for spamming although, I don't recall there stuff being racist. On the subject of mods Malachy is a strict but good mod for Rage's thread quick at replying to my PM.

Even if no one else is bother there hasn't been a post here in days, I would like to check in with my animators regarding our plans, my question being:

ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING??

Well with the lack of people posting I did not know what do say really, nothing was happening here so I guess I just thought till it got busy again I would post. Don't know why its so quiet here with the flash you talk of it will bring people back again. I do try to make an effort. I would love to see it busy here again as it Xmas I would of thought more people would have flocked here maybe guess not.

So....How's life?

This morning was terrible; I woke up, reset my alarm for a later time (so I could sleep a little more), but didn't actually turn it on. So I wake up 3 minutes before my bus comes. My mom was the one who woke me up by yelling. I responded, but she didn't hear me, so she walks just as I'm grabbing a fresh pair of boxers.

I'm not going to make it on the bus, so I decide that I'll drive to school. I feed my dog and let him out, and while he's doing his thing, I'm getting everything together. He comes back in, and I leave. Of course, when I get outside, my windshield is frosted over, which means I have to scrape it off. I say fuck it when I can see out of the bottom half of my windshield. That took 10 minutes, and I spent another 10 getting to school. That put me at 9:35; 20 minutes before homeroom, and I still needed to write a 1-page paper for 1st block.

I go to my normal, non-parking lot, parking space on the curb. But some douche bag decided to leave 8 feet between him and the car in front of him, and leave me not enough room to park. So I circle around the school 3 times, looking for a close parking spot. I finally parallel park myself into a spot, get out and run to the library, stopping only at hallway pass checkpoints (I have a card that says I don't need one, because I'm a good student).

I get in and have 15 minutes to write a paper, including homeroom time. I just barely bang it out as the 1st block bell rings, and I race to the other end of the school to get to class. I make it barely on time. And that's the worst morning I had in long time.

I just finished school today. I got no school for the rest of 2008. I might be a little inactive at the beginning of January because i might be on vacation.

Hey guys, this post was really hard for me to make because I've been here for so long and I've put a lot of time and effort into the NGDD, but I'm going to have to make my post sooner or later. There's no point having a Commander who is never here.

Honestly, the past month or two I haven't found much to talk about. It's been the same old shit for me, no contests, not action, and really just about nothing. I thought I would never leave this place because I like all of you guys and I've been here since the old days of the old NGDD and everything, but I really can't take the time to be here anymore. I'm not going to lie most of it is real life issues as well.

In an effort to keep this post short I'm going to tell you all that I am resigning from my position as NGDD Commander. Phantom and Dark I apologize for not telling you in advance, but realistically I wanted to let everyone know in the same manner. It's been a fun couple of years here everyone, thanks for the good times.

If you want my suggestion for a new Commander, I choose TheThing. See you all around.

APF - it is a pity to see you go. You were always very good at organizing and sorting things out within NGDD and your departure is a loss. I my self have not been around much, but I will go here a lot more from now on, I have been reviewing audio a hell of a lot aswell as making my own. I think a contest is what is needed to kick start this place, if you want my opinion.

Kind regards -
Thomas.

I was thinking along the same lines.
We really do need to get another contest going, with no matter if we can't make one in time before the year ends.
Shame to see you're leaving.

AnalPenguinFarming so sad you decided to resign but you have had a terrible time, hopefully you still pop by now and then. Sorry for not posting here but there has been nothing much to talk about here so quiet here. Well I guess someone will take your place you did such a good job best wishes anyway APF.

Maybe a BBS contest? Or a review contest? Heck, even a mission would be a good idea right about now. When was the last time we had a contest or mission, anyways?

A contest isn't a bad idea it's just that now we have no prizes to give out as far as I know. As I've mentioned before, I'm working on a new system which will basically be the New-NGDD. It dumps the whole XR System that Anal invented. The XR System wasn't a bad system, it was just a bit too complicated. The new system will be easier to understand. So... if we do a contest, we can't give XR and I don't know if we got any prizes to hand out from the Newgrounds Store.

And... to wrap up Anal's position, it's still being discussed who to give it to but there's a chance the position is removed and therefore there would be 2 NGDD Admin's. There needs to be more Department leaders as the Audio and Internal Affairs has none. But, this will all be discussed once the new system is released ;)

About prizes... providing you dont have them every other day and you don't expect me to spend massive amounts.. a few of you have my IM details... message me and I will pay for t-shirts.. what not.. now and again. As an ex-leader i would still like to play my part i just don't have the time so thats one way I can help out.

May I please join the BBS department? I've been on the site for just under a year and in that time I've made a lot of posts, many of which (far over ten) are of a high quality. Over the last month I've been putting a lot of effort into my posts and I'm always striving to improve on my post quality. I hope my posts will be good enough. If I'm going to be turned away, please give me constructive criticism so I can improve on my posts and re-apply sometime in the new year.

Thank you.

Hey NGDD and leaders.

I was wondering could i please join the BBS department?
I think i meet the requirements very well.
Requirements:
Ten good post. That's it. Very open for new members!
I feel as if i am a good poster, most of my posts are good, there are a couple of one liners and witty comments in my past posts but i feel i have over come that, and if you look at my last few posts before this one, i have helped a few people. One of which was pointing a new member in the direction of abusive reviews and tutorials on abusive reviews.
I think i will be a very good member of this group and hopefully you will think that too!

Lizzardis

I want to ask if I can be audio department leader, seeing as I am by far the most active and most audio affiliated in the audio department.

Kind regards -
Thomas.

I know what you're saying. I would run a contest, but I just don't have the time. Hell, Monday night I slept from 8:30-10 PM, then slept from 11:30PM-6:25AM, had a half day of school, then slept from 1-4:30. I think my body is trying tell me something.

most of it is real life issues as well.

I've been there, as have a lot of us.

I'm so sorry to hear that. You've been a great leader, pulling us up from the depths of mediocrity in our time of need. You've been a better leader of the NGDD than I could be, and I respect that. You've done so much good for us that I think it will be tough for us to move on without you. You have been a good f

It's been a fun couple of years here everyone, thanks for the good times.

Especially that one night.....

I'm honored to hear that, but I feel that I haven't been around that much to warrant me being the leader. I feel Phantom should be the leader; he's been the acting leader anyway for a while now, and I don't see why we can't make it official.

Wow, when you did show up?! I can't believe WW is back, and no one says anything! Glad to see you around here.

As for you paying for stuff, I don't think you should. You've done your part when you were up top back in the day, and you should enjoy your retirement. We don't need prizes to do a contest; I think we're all competitive enough around here to not need $20 shirts to get us interested in the contest.

I have just received your PM, don't worry about the delay it's fine I was busy myself so i only just checked up on it today. I'm glad that you have chosen to accept me and I can honestly say you will not be let down. Just while I'm on the subject, i have read about what we need to do now that i am in the BBS department, is there anyway or any tips you can give me to become a better member of the NGDD?

I mean I will carry on what I'm doing if necessary but i was just wondering if there was any tips you could give me.

FAIL. (I'll explain in a minute)

NGDD Supreme Commander Phantom -
NGDD Commander AnalPenguinFarming
NGDD General - DarkSoldier

APF nominated you for his job, not mine. And while I'm flattered you won't back-stab me openly [ :D ] you won't get my job. But as soon as I'm done laughing, I'll say I agree with APF that you should be our new Commander.

And rest assure that in the unlikely occasion a nuke hits the city and destroys everything internet related, you will inherit my job.

Best NG tip is: Don't be an asshole to someone who's serious. If someone needs help or really doesn't know something, help him. Even if you have the funniest come back, try to hold it in every now and again.

That's about it. Be helpful and even if no one will notice you'll be helping the BBS.

Right ok i will do. I'm generally a good guy around the BBS so i'll just carry on doing what i'm doing, although i have to admit i can have the outburst of Witty/funny comebacks to someone who is being serious, but i will try my best to keep them under wraps.
Again i think you for letting me be a part of the NGDD.

Lizzardis

Hey guys, sorry for being AWOL for a while there, however now that college is finished and most of the parties are over I'll be around here a bit more.

APF, it's a pity to hear this, but at the same time it's probably for the best. You've had quite a torrid time over the past few months in your personal life so it's only natural it would affect your site activity. Without completely parroting everyone elses response to this news, let me just say that I support your decision, and the best of luck to you in the future, I do hope all works out for you.

On another topic, things are quite interesting in the Portal right now. For the time being at least it seems that the bloody Duck Division have finally been killed off; I reckon them stealing Daily 1st last week was the straw that broke the camel's back and forced Wade's hand in the matter. Hopefully things will stay quiet in the spam front for a while.

There also seems to be a lot of submitted flashes at the moment. I know that's probably due to Christmas, just I found it a bit unusual to log on and find 20+ UJ flashes on a "normal" day i.e. not Clock Day, Pico Day or the like.

Good to have you on board Lizzardis, something picky but maybe you could use "I" instead of "i" because when you refer to your self it needs a capital letter because it's a name.

Thanks for making me leader of audio department by the way. I will try and get more members.

Thanks pal, it's nice to have you on board to, and and I will, it's just that cause I am sometimes in a rush to do things....I will try and slow down and make my i's capital.

I will too, I'm just trying to see how I can put the NGDD in my signature as a link, have you guys got any ideas?

I noticed that, It's great that Wade sorted that out, it was starting to get a pain in the backside. What i want to know is, I'm sorry if we are not allowed to discuss this here just tell me if we aren't, but why were they never blammed? I mean come on! There flashes were spam it was obvious yet they were always able to get through?
On another note though I'd start to look out for these guys splattersocom and the socomsquad because they are creating spam flashes such as [SS] hell ya and i think [SS] Fuck the DD collab.
I have a feeling their flashes.....Could get ALOT worse!

Greetings All!

After much consideration I would like to request to join the Flash Department. I don't post in the BBS often, but vote consistantly in the portal. I'm not quite sure what else to add, but ask what you may and I will be more then happy to answer.

Thanks!

What is strange about the Socoms is that they all show great artistic potential, they just never use it. If you look at a lot of their flashes they have great introductions, but they don't take those great introductions anywhere. A similar thing to what happened to the Ducks happened to them back in the summer, but they're still going now unlike a lot of spam crews that received that treatment.

The Duck Division aren't the only spam crew, and they weren't even the only spammers to be deleted. Over fifty alts were deleted in that cleanup, add the Ducks and you've got a large amount of accounts terminated. This is good on one front, though there are bound to be retaliations. Yesterday morning there was quite a large raid on the General forum, I was one of those who was trying to alert the mods, though only two of them were online. Apparently it was all down to two people with more alts than the BBS has mods. They said that they were part of the Duck Division and they were creating thousands of alts being hidden with Tor. In the end some more moderators signed on and before long it was all under control. It's strange to think that in a few hours they could throw the forum into such chaos. There were about ten threads made about it in just a few minutes.

I'm expecting some retaliation spam flash will be found in the portal over the next few days. I've already seen a few flashes about it from supposed Ducks.

I think lots of the alts belonged to lordzeebmork he even admitted it in his alt account. http://lordzeebmork.newgrounds.com/ This is his main locked but in his other one sorry cant recall the name, but he was using loads of alts which got deleted. About Socam Squad they been submitting lots of crap lately, they are not new began early 2007, I think but only just won a award. Anyway merry Xmas.

Was his alt Vrejvax? MisterMarkos? Those are his main alts right now (OK, MisterMarkos is locked too, so he's mainly on Vrejvax nowadays), and the ones where he's most likely to post something of interest. He's me oldest rival on NG: I've been hunting him (and he's been trolling me) for one year tomorrow, actually.

but he was using loads of alts which got deleted.

He's known for doing that. He's probably got a ton more in reserve that he only accessed over Tor.

Two, actually. Wade should probably just scrap RCP and Turd and Underdog, they're either given to high-profile Flashes or stolen by spammers, neither of whom need the exposure (high-profile artists have enough, and spammers don't usually deserve it unless they're on a break from spamming).
