So this is mainly about WHO IS ADDICTED TO NEWGROUNDS AND WHY, and Why newgrounds is addicting.

Its like drugs or something.

Well, the feeling of leveling up is cool. And there's stats that keep going on forever.

you forgot
xwaynecoltx

the guy with the most Reviews
XD

do you know how much time does it take to make reviews???
is a lot easy just to B/P

Oh yeah the top 50 list or whatever.

But can you even blame him for putting it here?

Yes, I can.

FOR a General style topic, it's actually quite decent, yes. Like I already said.

That said, if we start welcoming and encouraging and/or being okay/settling for even moderately good General-style topics here, what makes this forum different.... what makes this forum a refuge FROM General... erodes. Lessens. Shrinks.

It's like saying "hey, this is one of the best of the bad sorts of virii or bacteria... we don't need our white blood cells to attack this one, let's let it stay." Well, unless by staying it's helping the immune system in the end to fight far worse things later on... I vote no.

What a great start on a thread. I hope I get as many pages as i did on the WTF Kitty Krew Forum.

I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP. You're that dude who started the damnable Kitty Krew topic I stopped reading after a page or two and then noticed got locked after it hit 12 pages or so in an insanely short period of time (for Wi/Ht?, at least).

Huh WHAT?! It had 50 pages at locking, though later account deletions must have lowered the count to 49. Also it went on from November to June: a good 8 months.

The last time I read it must have been when it was on page 12. It stuck in my mind for some reason, that page #.

Past that point, I put it on my ignore list, which for Wi/Ht? = The Computer Hospital topic and Rage's Gift: Abusive Reviews topic (and back then, the KK topic, too)

In b4 LordZeebmork or someone shows up saying how Wade has "sold out". Admittedly he and Tom kinda have taken a more commercial and less artistic direction than they did for most of the site's history, deleting Flash and locking accounts for so much as the appearance of a swastika in the Flash,

That one right there isn't exactly evidence of the commercialisation of NG, IMO. That's just private website owners deciding they don't want to tolerate infinite free speech, and having some reasonable line in the sand that they won't let users cross and cross and cross again and again with impunity, that's all.

Web 2.0 BS like blogs, and all that.

Now yes, the MySpaceification of userpages, what with news posts and now YouTube vids and all, is somewhat more of a "trying to be like the 2.0 crowd and being more mainstream/commercial," yes.

Honestly, I think a little bit of so-called "spam" here and there isn't really that much of a bad thing.

Spam in the portal is different from spam in the BBS, and both are very very different from Nazism/racism-espousing/mocking/obsessin g in either place.

Still, this looks to be a much better discussion than his damned Kitty Krew one, so... let's give it a chance.

Whoa, hold on there man. You really can't discriminate against the KK topic...

Uh... yes, yes I can. And I do indeed choose to. Sorry.

I mean, I was less experienced as a poster, he was less experienced as a poster, hell all of us involved were less then than we are now,

You'll notice I didn't call anyone specific out, except maybe him for creating it. Just a moment here and I'll get to why the topic was a bad bad thing. (below, in my reply to FatKidWitAJetPak... see point B down there)

As for the topic helping you to grow as a poster.... there's plenty of other topics on this forum (and hell, even on General, or many other forums on this BBS) that would have done that. So don't talk like it was some magical petri dish that you owe your entire NG persona to now. O_o

I wonder what would be the limit for the Top 100 posters today?

I dunno. If I had to guess, I'd guess.... 10,800 to 11,200.

Humantarget52, Pimp, bomb... Heck, 40% of the Top 50 are probably alliances of individuals depositing for accounts.

I doubt it's that high. Less than 10 of the users, so 20% at most.

Just look at the thread for christ sakes! Oh and it is a discussion thread, so that is why I posted it into the Questions thread. Me and others have repeated that like 500 times.

A) Spammers taking over is why the thread got to 50 pages, yes. And it was a bad thing to have happen anywhere on NG, but especially on a non-General forum. HOWEVER... your topic itself is to blame for that indirectly. I'm not saying you asked for the spammers to come to it, but you'll notice that NO OTHER TOPICS on this forum have that problem.

Also, even though you didn't ask for it, you've already made at least one post in THIS topic about whether this will get as many pages as that topic did. You clearly derive some sort of personal pleasure or pride in making a long topic (You said: "I hope I get as many pages as i did on the WTF Kitty Krew Forum."). That's okay, though... I like it when my topics get long, too. A lot of us do. It doesn't really MEAN anything, but it's kinda like another stat to whore. But I don't sit back and let spammers take my topics to 50 pages without complaining/asking a mod to get rid of them. I'd rather lose 50% of the posts in a topic of mine that let shit like that be the reason it's so damned long.

B) "How the hell does the kitty Krew stay on newgrounds?"

That was the main premise of your KK topic. And it just isn't a good discussion for this forum. You also went on to say:

"And the clock krew is O.K... The Star Krew has good graphics some of the time... BUT THE KITTY KREW IS COMPLETLY IMMATURE! I just don't understand some of the humor that people have! Well... Does anyone no of any other really annoying group?"

Your second question after "OMG, WHY ISN'T KK EITHER BANNED BY WADE AND TOM OR BLAMMED BY THE USERS EVERY TIME THEY SUBMIT?!!?!?" (which is basically what your main question translates to, and sounds like any random review to a "crew flash")... is now "HEY GUYZ... WHO IZ AS BAD AS TEH KK??!?!!?"

Instead of polluting our great forum with that lame excuse for a reason to start a topic, and all the other stuff it ended up indirectly causing later, you should have made a club on the C&C forum called Anti-KK Club or something.

For all I know, such a thread already exists there, of course. In which case you should have just joined that club and bitched about the KK there.

KK = a portal issue.

Discussing the KK = a pastime on General.

Not here. Clear now?

Now, discussing why NG is addicting = an acceptable topic of discussion both on General AND here on Wi/Ht?, I will have to admit. So congrats on making a much better 2nd "big Wi/Ht?" topic. I won't say I hope this topic gets more pages for ya than the KK one did, because I'm not going to wish that hell on earth on my home here on NG BBS...

But I will say I hope this one survives longer (i.e. without getting deleted or locked) than the 8 months SoulMaster says your other one did.

That's the best good wishes yer gonna get from me. #;-}>

NG was just as addictive before the redesign, sorry.

I have a feeling that YOU good sir are addicted to Newgrounds. And if not newgrounds then the forums. I rarely check out the games NG has to offer anymore since i have seen most of them. I vote 5 on Flash everyday, but that has gotten kind of boring for me as well. What keeps me on NG is the forums and the reviews people give for the music I make. I remember how excited I was when I got top of the week on one of my trance songs. People started giving me reviews. Thats what keeps me addicted!

I just can't help myself, I have to check out what's new on the flash scene. I'm addicted to other's bbs posts, I can't help the need to post a reply to these. I just can't look away, it's ruined my life. People have left, jobs passed on by to see what cock joke Stamper will do next. So please, if someone's out there, help.

- THIS HAS BEEN A MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY NGA - Newgrounders Anonymous.

Hmm... sounds like a thread idea to me.

It's a place you can get a lot off you chest without anyone knowing who you are. You can confess and it will feel good to confess, then people can share their feelings while everyone remains anonymous.

Plus cock jokes are the epitome of 4th grade humor, so of course losers would traffic this sites like a meth addict gets a fix.

Also it's getting popular, because there are many great flash movies and games on here. Then people discover the forums and bam, they're addicted.

Like me for example. I've been going to Newgrounds for 2 years, then I made an account for the sole reason to write a review and I thought that's all I was going to use it for. Ironically, I've yet to write a 3rd review.

So according to you there will never be any new games ever entering the portal? They would all be similar enough to something else to avoid copyright infringement, but not by much.

I vote 5 on Flash everyday, but that has gotten kind of boring for me as well. What keeps me on NG is the forums and the reviews people give for the music I make.

Stick to those then, it's something to build on - I'd love to try and make audio, but I lack the funding to get myself a copy of a decent mixing program. If I got that, I'd probably see my NG time diminish, as my girlfriend would love to spend time mixing tracks.

The same would happen if we got Flash.

I remember how excited I was when I got top of the week on one of my trance songs. People started giving me reviews. Thats what keeps me addicted!

Has it prompted you to make more tunes? If so, that's the perpetual motion effect of Newgrounds. You put stuff in, you get stuff out. You like what you get out, so you put even more stuff in to get more out.

It's like an addiction to gambling, only it doesn't cost as much money!

Yeah you are just repeating what I said lol. I never play the games on the protal, Just never like to. And I make music because i think it is fun.

At 7/10/08 05:33 PM, FatKidWitAJetPak wrote: Yeah you are just repeating what I said lol.

I'm asking for clarification. That's what the question marks indicate.

I never play the games on the protal, Just never like to.

The way you were talking, I assumed that everything has been done before. I was preparing to leap to the defence of the games developers, as without the games being made and submitted, we'd only be down to movies and tunes, which would suck.

And I make music because i think it is fun.

Glad you do, there's merrits in all things, even in my stat-whoring.

lol so how long have you been on newgrounds? 3 years? 4 years?

If you meant me, did I ever say I wasn't addicted to NG?

Hell, right above your post, there's me replying to someone who claimed that NG was addictive because of the redesign with this:

"NG was just as addictive before the redesign, sorry."

If I said that, clearly it means I think NG was addictive both before AND after the redesign, meaning the redesign didn't suddenly make NG addictive. It was always addictive. There's your answer. O_o

As to WHY, however, yes... that's another matter.

WTF does that have to do with what he said to you? Look at his frickin' sign-up date, dude. Do the fucking math yourself.

Also, as he told you, he asked you a question:

"So according to you there will never be any new games ever entering the portal?"

Can't answer it, eh?

Uh... everything your said is incorrect. 1st of all I wasnt talking to you. 2nd of all I was judging he had been on NG for 3 or 4 years from his very high level. 3rd of all I was just stating the obvious that you are addicted to NG because of your BBS posts... I never said you said you werent or anything. Lol just chill out.

It's a difficult one to answer, I'll admit. I have played games that are rehashes of certain other game, but then again, there are new ones that come up on NG every now and again. For example, I've never played a game called Mastermind on a computer before. Sure, we played the game as kids over at my house, but now it's on a computer. That was released about 3 months ago, if that.

You need to work on your people skills a little bit. I'm addressing this to you, FatKidWitAJetPak, as you're insulting a friend of mine. Please stop, he's not a dumbass. I will accept that you don't play games that come through the portal as soon as they enter the judgement process. That's your loss. I play them there and then because I can, but it doesn't stop fresh games becoming available every day of the year.

1st of all, I couldn't tell who you were talking to, because this was your post:

AS LONG AS YOU FAIL AT QUOTING WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO, you will forever be looked down upon on this forum. That shit may fly over in General, but not here.

You posted the above 1 day after my post, directly UNDERNEATH my post, and I couldn't see anyone else on the current page you could have been talking to other than me. Thanks for wasting my time!

2nd of all I was judging he had been on NG for 3 or 4 years from his very high level.

So you were talking to Coop all along? Again, isn't his sign-up date a bit more of an indicator of a 4 year NG account than his "Very high level"?

3rd of all I was just stating the obvious that you are addicted to NG because of your BBS posts... I never said you said you werent or anything. Lol just chill out.

So you WERE talking to me, as well? Make up your mind, dude.

NO. YOU CHILL OUT. I AM ON FIRE, I SHALL NOT BE COOLED DOWN. #;-}>

Whose question, Coop's?

ONCE AGAIN YOU DIDN'T QUOTE WHO OR WHAT YOU WERE REPLYING TO, SO YOU FAILED AGAIN.

If it makes me a dumbass to make it clear who I'm talking to in a thread, then wow... okay. I love being a dumbass.

JOIN ME, it kinda makes you a better BBS user to be such a dumbass as this. SEE HOW I QUOTE? Wow. It's so... revolutionary and amazing. The technology that makes it possible... so hard to wrap your brain around, eh? I know, it's tough.

Wow, someone's pissed of the gfox.

He reminds me of idiots on Team Fortress 2 I've been dealing with for a week now.

Fortunately, I've met about 100 good players, and only around 5 idiots. It's an amazingly good ratio, much better than what I tend to hear about Halo2/3 (I wouldn't know, I've only played Halo 1 online, and that's PC, not Xbox, anyway).

BACK ON TOPIC:

And I obviously knew he was talking to you there. He seems to think I thought he was talking to me again. But I would have thought the "he" and "his" in my sentences would BE A BIT OF A TIP-OFF.

That, and every single Coop post on the BBS says "2004" under the level icon, but... I guess that's a bit TOO SIMPLE for JetPakKid.

Hedgehog Launch is just another kitten cannon, but it is an awesome game. Screw "new"ness, I just want quality gameplay and fun/replayability when it comes to games. Be it PC, console, or flash.

Or hell, be it board or card. #;-}>

No, no. He seems to think you're a dumbass if you post with quotes to show what the hell you're talking about. I'm embracing the dumbass label now, since he probably brings that attitude/conception from General. Over there, you're a dumbass if you can post understandably, I suppose.

You need to work on your people skills a little bit.

So this is mainly about WHO IS ADDICTED TO NEWGROUNDS AND WHY, and Why newgrounds is addicting.

Newgrounds is just a flash, audio and community websites, why don't you just go crawl back into Facebook or shitty bebo for fuck sake!

I was thinking of that when the topic turned to a "Newgrounds timewaster game," because... yes, the only thing more timewastery than wasting time doing shit on NG... is wasting time in NG Sim PRETENDING to do shit on NG.

That said, the topic was about a MMO, and Sim is a single player RPG, so it's a bit apples and oranges.

The thought of so much meta-ness happening... makes me want to cry, though. We don't need all the severely-addicted NG folks who love NG so much and use NG 24/7 ALREADY... resorting to a MMORPG version of NG for even MORE fun. Just enjoy ACTUAL NG, folks. Please. It's much safer that way.

It's kinda like how Valve made it where you can't shoot a portal THROUGH a portal.... you've gotta slap dem portals on surfaces within your own freakin' room, not the.... "meta" room. After all... if that were possible, then it would be possible to portal into the "META meta" room, and then... ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. Literally. DOOM style.
