Agreed. But hell, where's the writer's forum... and all that kinky stuff :(

Recently there was a rumour of a writing collab that may of included people like Sarai and Mast3rmind. Due to rules however, it wasn't allowed to be posted on the BBS which put off a lot of people. While it's true that the writing forum may just consist of idiots with poor stories, the same fears existed with the art forum; then the art forum was made and it turned out fine.


This too will pass.

...You can't count the nominations yourself?

Come on dude, don't be lazy and just ask someone else to do it for you. Sure, you might find some mug who's willing to do it for the extra chance to add to his post count or "e-popularity" or whatever, but there's nothing stopping you from going and tallying it up yourself if you're so concerned.

Speaking of which: 130+ nominations, like 3ish days in. This is gonna take a whole bloody day to do, blarg.

Well, with the high participation rate hopefully it'll be something that everyone looks forward to over the next few weeks.

lol, well yeah. I try not to just throw my posts everywhere. Often I'll come here and just lurk but don't find anything worth posting in. I think that's sort of what differentiates it.

Since somone did nominate me for biggest attention whore, however, I assume most people see actually putting some effort towards your post, instead of just making some one-liner, and having more than 1,000 posts as attention whoting.

I suppose if you look at it like that. I don't post for everyone to read though, I post with the topic poster in mind. Not what every other buttfuck is saying. That's how topics go shit and this place isn't fun to be around. Don't give a fuck if anyone reads what I say as long as the OP read it. Even then, no big deal if they don't.

You could always start a tally of the nominations now (say for the first 4-5 complete pages of nominations), and then just update it in a few days time, then at the end of the week. Might be a bit easier that way.

Haha, hopefully, else you're busting your ass for nothing. I'm looking forward to it, at least. It's always funny to see the e-drama that these things spew forth at the very least.

Honestly Rooby the reason this place has gone to Hell and back in a Handbasket is mainstream popularity of the site.

Though I wasn't around then, NG was always full of controversy and that's what attracted an older audience but had worried parents keep their kids away.
But now we're in the YouTube Generation with Charlie the Unicorn and the stolen Video Game Parodies. People see Newgrounds in the video, Google it, and come here.
Since YouTube has a higher rate of idiots then most sites it's easy to understand why NG is this way.

I spent houres working on that list and upon posting it I found out I acidentally put Ruckly instead of Quarl. DOHHHH!

AH fuck it, I had a hard time thinking of who to put on that spot anyway, and he's probably not going to be nominated anyway, heh.

I still wish it was controversial, it`d be a hoot.

Though I'm not criticizing Tom Fulp for his current work (Castle Crashers is one of my Top 5 Xbox Live Arcade Games) I would like to see him make a "Kill Miley Cyrus/Sarah Palin/Other Annoying Celebrity" game just like the past. Though due to all the attention this site gets I doubt we'll be seeing that.

Well, I wanna have a go at it all at once for one reason in particular*: It's easier to catch alts that way. I plan to do a coarse run through the nom thread after it gets locked and find the obvious ones, but sometimes they aren't apparent until you comb through it finely and notice that 4 people had very similar voting patterns. Then you can compare sign ups and post counts and give them the actual screening. If I break it all up into chunks I might forget a trend.

Plus I'm more likely to get it done if I just do it in one fell swoop. That's just me though.

There are about 13 pages of that thread. Each page contains about 15-20 posts. Each post contains about 20 polls. Each poll has a different name on it.
