My apologies to Tom here, but I gave my worst review EVER just now. I hope that isn't grounds for banning.

tfulp@fast.net is where I sent it to.

I never use these forums, but I figured I'd ask a quick question if any NG staff read this: how long are the "time-outs" for the new Grounds Gold/PHP thing Tom mentioned? I remember before it'd leave me logged in for days, but today (first time I've used NG since the server upgrades) I was apparently timed out several times and had the "5 votes required to deposit" reset each time. Since I'm 28.8, this was rather annoying, since by the time I loaded up a Flash I was timed out/logged out and couldn't revote on the same Flash. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, are there time-outs (my dial-up has acted kinda funny before, so there is the possibility its just me), and if so, is there any way you could increase them to help dial-uppers such as myself, or anything else I could do to prevent this from happening?

Not the review but the user I was fuming over. I sent him a mail regarding his comments. I hope he gets banned, or his movies deleted.

no to be offensive or nothing but it is surprising that 13 year old's have parents that let them come to this site. i'm not tryin to say that it's a bad idea but i'm 16 and my mom still gets pissed when i come to newgrounds. but i'm not gonna change because of her. she'll just have to bite this one.....long live newgrounds

Thats great! Does it mean that butcer might finally get banned and stop annoying me? No i don't really want that, its tight to want someones entertainment stopped just beacause you don't like their attitude. I'm probably going to have to put a lot more nice reviews up from now on, and hopefully the content of the portal will get better. My movie could even get deleted! Yay! I'm getting insulted by its being there.
The only comment i have is that we do need a set of rules, so that when we do something wrong, we know that we ARE doing something wrong. A decent set of BBS rules wouldn't go amiss either. I've written this much, and the page hasn't loaded yet :)!
Anyway... a stricter BBS should be good for the users who want intelligent conversation like me! though, i must admit i do post too many short messages summing up my opinion in one or two words, when i should be writing 50 words or more. But it doesnt matter!
Good luck with the improvemednts Tom :)

First off, Ross has been overhauling the Grounds Gold system. Instead of using cookies, it now uses PHP sessions that are tracked on our server. Once the crossover is complete, it will make the user sessions more reliable and fun for everyone, but currently there are some bugs. For example, it won't track your votes if you aren't logged in - so in order to get your 5 experience pts for the day, be sure you log in before you vote on movies. This will be fixed shortly.

Once this is done, we are finally going to focus on putting together some hardcore admin tools for Wade and I to use. It is something we have been sorely lacking for a long time, and has resulted in lots of extra work for Ross because he has to waste his time dealing with problems on the site that we should be able to deal with. Once the admin system is in place, we will be enforcing much stricter rules in the Portal and BBS - whiping out many more crappy Flash movies and user accounts along the way. The same goes with reviews - if you are one of those people who posts nothing but crappy/negative reviews, expect to see your user account go bye-bye. We are sick of good Flash artists being discouraged by asshole 13 year olds (no offense to the non-asshole 13 year olds - you're ok, even though you should have parental guidance if you're on this site). :)

ANYWAY... A while back we got moved to temporary hosting while the site was looking for a cheaper hosting facility. When we finally moved to a new facility in NYC, we stayed on our temporary server (which wasn't as good as the old one and has lots of issues). Our old server is being upgraded and we plan to be transfering back to it within the next 30 days. I don't know how much better the site will run at this point, but it should be a bit better.

Stick with us and I promise things will be improving over the next year. Newgrounds really went downhill during 2001, but we're gonna do our best to climb to the top by the end of 2002!

Sounds good. I just hope you don't delete my movies. they may be crappy but they're funny.

Response to Newgrounds Upgrades 2002-01-12 17:02:39


hey im 13, and i have discouraged some falsh movies, games, and artists. and your right tom. we should stop making other artists pissed, or discouraged. i have done some crappy and or negative ratings, replys, and,........stuff.

Response to Newgrounds Upgrades 2002-01-12 18:29:43


Finally!! Its about time!! Newgrounds needs to clean up and become better. It has gone downhill since the summer of 2001. I liked Newgrounds when I first came. Now it loads slowly and the Portal is overloaded with shit. The BBS is full of shit and whiners and assholes. As for the Clock Crew, ban all the Clock Crew who make no and/or bad Flash movies that break Portal rules and/or do it for attention in the BBS. Keep the original Clock Crew like RaspberryClock, OrangeClock, and PineappleClock. Also, the chatroom needs to be cleaned up. Also, please ban people who whine about being banned from the NG Chatroom. They are annoying and need to know they have caused trouble. Also, please either lock or delete the Anime Girl topic in the General BBS section, its taking up space and has nearly 5,000 replies. The following people need to be banned from NG.
Dumbsucka1234-Writes negative reviews.
RaNcIdPsYcHoJoSh-The Anime Girl topic starter.
Nikachu-Whines and causes trouble in BBS.
Mudafuken-Spams and whines.
Tomismyhero-Spams BBS.
Glassid-Laughed at the 9/11 event.
o0_xero-Same as Glassid.
Sexgod2000-Same as Glassid and o0_Xero.
Jollywood-Made a racist Flash movie.
To anyone who breaks the NG Portal Rules.
Finally, NG is going to greater than ever!! Thank God!!

Newgrounds is a website for 13 year olds who cannot understand the difference between "there", "their" and "they´re".

Do an author search under Jollywood. Either for BBS and a profile click, or for portal search.
