Well, if you didn't notice we had some problems for the past few days. We were trying out some new database features, but our current set up couldn't handle it, so we had to switch back to the old way. So the site will run better, but it will probably still get slow at times. We are still working to find ways to improve the site's performance.

I had received a bunch of emails from users who were having problems validating their accounts. Now that the site is running better, you may want to try re-sending yourself a validation email. If you are still having problems feel free to email me at wade@newgrounds.com. Be sure to include your NG username! I'm not a mind reader.

Also the Daily Top 5 hasn't been running properly, so we are sorry for anyone who missed out on an award. If you submitted a movie during the down time and it didn't get many views you may resubmit it. Just send me the URL to the previous submission and I will delete it for you.

If you have any other concerns or questions about the recent down time, please express them by leaving a comment to this post.

If we didnt notice? Hah! Of the 50000 people that visit this place per day (if wrong may i be strukken by lightning, or corrected by an official...) i think it safe to say that we did notice. Isn't it strange that so many people depend on a hit of Newgrounds everyday. You've created a worldwide addiction

Congratulations!!!

i also wanted to put up recent me photo

Why am I getting the system telling I allready voted on something that I know I havn't?.

Response to Problems with the site. 2002-04-19 09:04:53


I've been waiting a long time (3 days is a long time for me) for this site to get fixed and I'm glad it did. I went on every hour to see if the site was fixed,then I noticed somthing. I noticed I was hooked on newgrounds when I looked in my white box to see other sites I've been to,it was filled with www.newgrounds.com. I know Tom and the NG staff may have been busy with school,thair own flash movies,and lives. But if they did'nt fix it for about another two days I'd lose my mind. So thanx Wade and anyone eles who helped fixed the site and thanx Tom for making newgrounds.com possible.

Thanks to whoever fixed the Site, jeeze ive been a newgrounds member for 1 day but ive been to the site almost everyday for the last 9 months. Thanks again to whoever fixed the site!

Response to Problems with the site. 2002-04-19 23:35:41


Ya know Wade, The funny thing is I was just a couple of points away from getting to level 15 right before the site went anal on me.
Yes, it was a pain in the ass knowing I was almost there and couldnt do anything about it.

Anyway, I dont know if your involved with Pico 2 or not, but if your not doing anything with it, do something! Make this torture go by faster. You might even have some kickass ideas for it and convince Tom dude into putting them in!

I sent you an email to delete Frog Batting. Did you get it? If you could please delete that it would be nice, thanks.

I uploaded a movie in the recent down time but it had some problems and didn't want to work (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view.php?id=50313). Now I have a link in my profile to a movie that 'never existed or was deleted'. Is it possible for you to fix that and remove that link, Wade?
