I suppose I have some explaining to do. This April Fools joke was a last minute thing and although I thought it might have went too far, I wanted to go ahead with this and hope anyone with bad voting habits would wake up and clean their act. Those who have admitted to have been voting poorly, I want to say thanks. You may have had some rough edges but I'm glad you were honest and hopefully you're still going to make real attempts at getting any crap submissions off the portal.

My thoughts on the "leaving post" for the B/P update remain intact besides for a few things. Although I can't say who are the ones who are voting poorly except for those who are like "Yeah I don't bother watching the flashes and just vote by whether it'll pass or not." that I've witnessed, there are some users with suspiciously bad blam to save ratio. Seeing someone with 15,000 saves and only a mere 500 blams does raise some questions but I can't be 100% sure if they ARE those who have been voting 5 on blatantly crap submissions that have managed to pass.

To be honest, I have had times where I felt like giving up the B/P list for good because of the utter shit flashes that get through the portal but on the other hand I don't feel like taking away something that the good users deserve to see, even if the cowardly bad users may see the list regularly and rack up as much points as they can without considering the standards of the site. By knowing viewers here like to hear my thoughts on things, that's a good enough reason to keep going.

I'd only ever give up the list if real life circumstances aren't in good standing, the admins request it to stop or I lose interest in the site and considering how I've been since mid-2009 with genre/icon modding, BBS modding and attending NG meet ups, I don't see myself losing interest any time soon. After all, I've already been on this site much longer than I originally expected.

One last thing, I was actually surprised at the responses I read. When I went and said I was pulling the plug from the B/P updates, I expected a heat rash of comments telling me to not give up at all. Last time I tried changing something or even pass the list to someone else, you all ganged up against me so I was rather surprised this time. The responses were so overwhelming that I was almost tempted to make the retirement real rather than an April Fools joke. I'll keep it up for the time being. The cowardly bad voters may not show their faces at all but if they are out there and continue to hide away, I'm sure their luck won't last forever.

At least things are back to normal now.

Too bad around half of them are either inactive or actually the ones who I know that don't bother watching the latest entries.

I think you know I'm going for 10,000 Blams, it has been pretty slow since getting 25,000 Saves.

And to think I'd like to get Toohot100 to 30k blams eventually. It's taking forever for that alt just to get to the next B/P rank. I may as well TRY to aim to 10k and leave it at that but even 10k is a lot.

It doesn't really matter that there's a surplus of shit; what matters is that great content is still submitted each day. Our primary service as voters is to keep users coming to submit their work. I hope you'll agree that even this portal is better than no portal at all.

There was a time when the admins wanted the portal voters to go a little easier on the flashes that come through. Some flashes that were really bad they thought were amusing and chose to save them. Maybe some took that too literally but really, we have to draw a line somewhere with what passes. We may have had plenty of spam submissions by the SS, KK, etc but when it comes to crappy stick flashes passing as well as 4-frame GIFs and blank submissions, something isn't right. And no, none of you need to remind me of those Adolf Hitler flashes.

This isn't something I'd like at all. Zero bombing does occur in flash submissions as well as audio submissions and can still be quite effective. The flashes Coop has been co-authored on have been zero bombed including some submissions of mine. My Christmas 2007 submissions passed with 3.50 or around that amount and the second part even got in the top 10 which is actually something considering the small amount of Flash talent I had. If that flash gets below 1.60 and was deleted by that rule, that wouldn't be very good at all.

For low rated submissions that have passed even if they should have been blammed, I'll leave the fate of those flashes to the admins. A lot of submissions have been caught out over the last few months thanks to users going through flashes for their genre/icon modding duties. I've caught a dozen or two that were either blank submissions, broken or pornographic and have been deleted by Tom.

I'll rely on the EGB members to raise the attention of stolen submissions. They're doing a good job already and I'll help them out with a whistle if I have it in mind. I really want to make sure no stolen content gets through as it really killed me when I saw someone stealing one of my flashes and the fucking chodes voted to pass the submission. I'm still bitter about that, even if it was deleted ages ago.

I remember Wade saying 1.6 was too low of a score requirement in order to pass. This is going back to 2008 and haven't heard anything else since but I'll just hope that a higher score requirement to pass will be included in the redesign. You could argue they should do that right away but if what I hope becomes a reality, it's better late than never.

I did my part to try and get them blammed. All but one passed but I fear if they make more crap, that one flash of theirs that managed to survive is enough for the rest to go through.

I see that piece of shit douchebag still hasn't improved his behaviour. I was hoping his name change would a sign of improvement from him but that hasn't been the case. He was a piece of shit before, he's a piece of shit now and he'll always be a piece of shit.

It's shit like this that makes me wish YouTube never existed to begin with. I feel more and more that the internet shouldn't have been privileged with a highly accessible video site at all. Before YouTube, it was hard to put up videos on the internet. Another thing about YouTube is that ever since they became big, Newgrounds has gone on a steady decline with activity. More and more animators consider putting their stuff on YouTube and don't even acknowledge Newgrounds at all. Some popular authors on this site have even sold out to YouTube and it really kills me. It's now to the point where Tom had to make an official Newgrounds channel just so they host their own content rather than pathetic wastes of skin putting stuff on YouTube without any permission from the creators.

How could we miss you? YOU never left. The list, however, was deemed dead and buried by a justifiably upset (previously) respected member of the Newgrounds community.

And the moral of the story is, appreciate what you've got because basically, I'm fantastic!

#26, eh? Not bad. Looks like Sentio has been sandwiched by a couple of BP-bashing women (and that thought is probably spawning untold fantasies in his mind!).

The fact that it's with Gagsy makes me jelly.

Did you expect that your joke would become a public service announcement, or was that entirely by chance?

I intended to see if it would wake up a few souls. ;) I hope they don't mind since I had to take action one way or another and hope things would improve even by a slight fraction.

Here's some advise, any broken submissions you come across or even any blank screen flashes, just pass them on to the Fulps. :)

The problem with setting an April Fools joke on the exact day is that no-one will believe you. It's too hard to trick people on April Fools these days and sometimes making an action beforehand works.

Alright, we're back up and running! Thanks for the update, Bahamut.

Looks like I'm getting closer again. Ehwaz has slipped a little and shipped 200 points my way. I'll get there and as we close on my 7th NG Anniversary, I'm getting statted up for another run at how far I can get, before then. 90k is a possibility, before the 28th and I'll see if I can force it as close as possible to 91k before then :)

Thanks for the update which magically came very soon right after the other one.

Well, I guess that kudos are in order for you, Slash. A shame that you've done this in the way of the statistical suicide, but I understand your reasoning behind it.

Now if only Wade would make a token gesture as an example, by resetting someone's stats, because they're mass voting and doing it for the stats, as opposed to the protection of the flash portal. One or two spring to mind.

I'll be on this list again someday, but I'll be doing it on my own time, and in my own way.

I'm glad to hear it. Sure, your pace won't be as torrid as it used to be, but now that we have established that there are people out there that want to make a difference, we'll try to take it forward and get people to vote What they think a flash is worth, as opposed to what they think it will achieve, for the precious stat points.

Retired, semi-retired and deceased. Boy, you must feel really good to pass some people like that. At least Ehwaz is giving me a run out for this one :P

It's like the comeback of Michael Schumacher in Formula 1 - he won seven world titles, pretty much untouchable by all competitors (Damon Hill, Jaques Villeneuve and Mika Hakkinen were the only drivers to win titles other than him during his golden years, Alonso won the 05 and 06 titles, before he retired.) Now he's back, he lacks the drive and cutting edge to get there amongst the new generation of kids. 9th last year and just qualified 11th for the race tomorrow.

Forgive me, too much petrol in my head this morning :P
