Not tomorrow, I think. Last year it took about 2 days to the Portal get back to it's original state. Also, the "happy saves" moment started after last year's clock day.

Oh, dear God.

It's clock day again.

So... much... blue!

It's enough to make you go INSANE!

And the thing is I think mostly stat whores are guilty and I bet most of them vote 5 just 'cuz, while a 2 would still give a fucking protect point. Don't understand these retards, wasting a lot of time letting any turd pass for a stupid b/p rank in their profiles (and a voting power they don't need).

This year has been the worsed yet, we need to take care of this for next year. or just not have this day

Even if the staff wouldn't change the layout, the day would still be held by the users. Besides, it's only one day (well, maybe two or three like last ye in the year. But right now it looks as if the portal will get back to normal a bit faster) in the whole year where the portal gets flooded and the users all vote 5 on every entry.
It's fun, it doesn't hurt anyone and newgrounds isn't going to hell because of it. ;)

This.

Newgrounds needs at least one day where I can flood the portal without getting locked out like on Mozz Day.

I liked that legit flash you submitted yesterday. Can't remember the name, but up until the screen that said "I ran out of ideas" it was really good.

And yeah, there's nothing wrong with having one day of crazy spamming fun.

Plus, there are always at least a few really good Clock flashes buried in the mess. Part of the fun for me is hunting them down and finding them before they hit the collections. It did seem like this year was more about spam and less about actual Clock films, but there were a few gems in the pile still, and it was still pretty funny to see all of that blue and green on the portal.

Also, it seems to me like the portal's returned to normal relatively quickly this time around... it's been relatively quiet today, and I've seen a few 0.5k "OMG L8 CLOK DAY BBBBB" movies go straight to the graveyard this afternoon. I actually picked up a few blam points on movies that probably would have passed before Clock Day. Last year, it took a few days before things calmed down, but this year things seem to have stabilized a bit faster.
