Hate4Hate

Lots of important people are getting angry at me for abusing noobs who can't read the words "New to flash? Read this first!" I'm pointing the please-don't-hate-me-waggly-finger at Blackfang and Cybex.

Please don't hate me.

Virus Disaster

I think once before I had that virus, my brother was on once and when I walked past I realised a load of popups were coming up. After a while we had got rid of it.The popups sound like the ones you explained. The virus acted like windows (for example showing a picture of the antivirus section of control panel saying there was no anti-virus installed when, we knew, there was. I think the anti-virus scan didn't find anything but the anti-spyware did.

Right now we have a virus that hacks and turns off the computer and another (on laptop) which opens a load of popups with "CiD-" then the ad name in the title tag.

Well maybe next time someone asks what program they need to make flash, just point them to the download trial page or the 'new to flash' thread, instead of calling them an "ass fuck" and being absolutely useless...

Quoted for truth. Try being helpful, and if you don't have the patience for that simply don't bother and let someone else do it.

Oooh, I had that once. A Norton security scan, Ad Aware 6 scan, spybot search & destroy scan, spywaredoctor scan, and finally, nod32 scan seemed to fix it. :)

Also, check your boot.ini for unwanted programs that start on boot, i had some named "a.exe", "b.exe", when i had that virus, and those exe's were the files that looked like windows on the taskbar. :)

Good luck :D

Heh, 'Malwarebytes' was the program that got rid of it for me. I could have gone through regedit and deleted them all but there was a folder that wasn't showing up for some reason, but i knew it existed as a scan told me :P

CCleaner for registry problems. :)

Also, as a fun fact, I ran CCleaner on my C drive once, since I needed 2 MB extra space. It cleaned 1.5 GB o_O I was like, lol. Fixed my registry as well, computer works greatly nowadays. :D CCleaner is the pwn.

There is an option to show hidden files and folders somewhere. You can make a file or folder hidden by ticking the hidden attribute in the properties panel.

Virus' and such

Be careful when poking around the web, there was some shit going around sites like facebook where people will send you a msg asking you to watch some video.. it takes you to a page that looks like a youtube clone, with the video player displaying a 'legit' looking error message telling you your flash player is out of date to click the link to update. Once you click you get a spoonful of nasty stuff.

sneaky malicious nerds out there.

Tools > Folder Options > View. :D But that's for normal folders, I doubt it will show hidden registry files, or whatnot. Also... that virus blocked my ability to see hidden files, so no matter how much i applied the "show hidden files" option, it would always return no NOT show hidden files.

Virus Amvo Killer for that. :D www.geekside.com

i think that was the site... at least.

Yeah you really annoy me now. all he asked is what program do use you use to make flash, and you just go and respond, " get the fuck out of the forum, assfuck, stupid noob "

Seriously it doesnt work that way

Sorry double post, but i found it. it got me mad

"Hmm, I wonder what I'd use to make a FLASH?
How about using Adobe FLASH?
Use FLASH to make FLASHES? Outrageous!

The name of the forum slightly gives it away, Ass Fuck."

I have changed.

This may cause me to lose my fan. On the plus side, noobs will no longer continue the discussion by pm rather than shouting it on the forum like a real man. Also I have a secret :3

I think wolfears is doing the right thing, but just in the wrong method. Sometimes in fail threads (like this one) he can be really funny in his flaming but at others I just think he could make it a little nicer.

Most retarded post I think I've ever written

Harsh Bans
I rarely ban people but like the one thing that always pisses me off is when people are complete dickwads to new users.

I know the glowing green read me first button is there, I know EVERYONE should know what Flash is by now and i know nobody should ask questions that arent intellectually challenging to you but the reality of the matter is that not everyone knows as much as you do princess. Please forgive us and spare us your wrath.

So that being said PLEASE do not post unconstructively. If peoples basic questions piss you off, take your finger place it on the power button on your computer and push.... now go outside and play. Come back when you are feeling better :D

HI WOLFEARS2 and CaiWengi!

Harsh Bans

Wait... so are you hinting that you've banned them two? I got that feeling but I can't be sure.

I haven't done that in a longgg time. Can't really remember ever doing it but I probably did at some point. But you've gotta realize a lot of people don't read it. Its a hell of a lot easier to just give them the link and send them on their way than shout at them.

WOOOO LEVEL UP! I actually had no idea that i was gonna o.0

Is it just me or is the tern "no0b" noobish? I know it's a paradox, but think about it, the only people i've ever seen use it are new users pissing off other new members, or 12 year olds on games. I've never seen any regs use it.

Killing Newbies

Think of them as lambs, they are just looking for a place to eat grass, you can either guide them to the field where they will play and produce beautiful children (flash) or be a bastard and send them to the slaughter, never to know if they were the next big flash artist(wolf). How i love metaphors <3.

Hmmm, well I think that sometimes you can lead them to the field, and they will die, or try to slaugther them, and they will prove too strong (somehow) and escape to the field.

I don't know, I felt like posting something that might be meaningful, but you should probably ignore this, so I am going back to my green field/ dank slaughter house.

You decide?

That's a really good way of putting it depredation but it just made me think straight away that some of them might make better burgers than sheep in a field (I know it's evil but it's what it made me think). A load of people like that then go on to make a load of shitty flash and end up wasting newgrounds disk space. Still I thought something similar a while ago, that when crappy authors (like me) help out noobs with their simple AS problems they could be helping future kings of the portal.

n00b

I hate it when people use the work n00b as a way of insulting people, it should only be used as a way of expressing that they are new and never in an insulting nature.

Viruses

My brother said he got it from a 'video'. He said the browser had an alert saying an update was needed for it to play.

We kinda let slip the main character dies, but that does NOT ruin the movie. At all.

It does a little... Still, it's not the kid of film where anyone really wins. It's too nihilistic for that. Everyone loses.

Off to see Pineapple Express today, whoop.

Me too! Just saw it a couple of hours ago. Awesome film. It's hard to describe, since most of the humour comes from the way the characters interact, but it's a brilliantly funny film.

It makes me smile when I point someone to the New To Flash? link and they're all OMG THANKS :OO!O!!!! like.. they should have noticed it, I did nothing xD

It was amazing, 9/10. Seth Rogen is now one of my favourite film guys. It was full of cliches, but done wrong, like they wanted to spoof but without making it a spoof movie. Absolutely brilliant.

Pretty much my thoughts. It's why I never really come here with my actionscipt related problems. There are too many angsty thirteen year olds who think they're hot shit because they know what an if statement is.

call me a dick, but i actually find all this drama pretty funny. it doesn't happen to me often to watch an e-fight that doesn't involve me (cough cough 2005 dark_toast vs ninja-chicken)
