Agreed. Thanks for the quick response, Coop! Mods specifically locked the Abusive Review thread because they stated that "sharing" reviews on the BBS as such tend to cause more harm than good.

I noticed that when I posted the Prologue I ended up answering the same questions twice here in the main thread and on our private forums. I'd recommend making responses/questions/comments/whatever in the threads devoted to the stories, as that would eliminate the confusion and probably keep the main thread cleaner overall. I answer a lot of questions and tend to give additional info/insight about the story there. I notice Byte does the same for her story, so they're good threads to check! Enjoy!
That is really good first chapter EagleRock I love how my name was used. Sounds promising I like how you have used General for the plot General can be a mess at times, but it still has good threads. I'm looking forward to reading more I like the first person style good and you a great writer. I have got the latest TheWeebl flash song stuck in my head, Get On My Horse is one of the best he has done I think since Owls the song is so catchy and funny too damn I cannot get the tune out of my head. Has anyone else seen it? Sill on front page. I also saw this flash very good here.
Archer I'm a good shot!

While Rage's Thread was established with the most honourable of intentions and at first worked, the meaning was lost and people became whistle-whores and just flagged indiscriminately. Now, it's best if we don't go there.

Talking of which, I have my newest chapter out:
Anyone mind if I write a story that covers the last month of Ben Spurgin's life?
Basically it's a one-shot story.
"As the old saying goes...what was it again?"
Anyhoo, my few weeks of hiatus have finally come to an end.
Anime villain's been mentioned along with a sad sports event that just occurred...
"As the old saying goes...what was it again?"
Well I have some news, chapter 10 is still in the works, it's gonna be a long one. I may have to break it up into two posts what with the character limit and all. Sometimes I wish it were more of a word limit. Anyway, I'll be reading the rest of BUF soon and getting to the sequel. Also, because I've spent so much time on the internet, my folks turn off the internet at 7 PM NG time.
Also, if anyone is wondering, the reason my B/P has been kinda low this week, it's because I've been reading CtrlAltDel which is funny as hell!!
If you like gaming, internet, etc. you'll enjoy this comic, a lot. It's best to read it from the beginning. Sure there are a bunch of one-shot strips, but those are merely filler. Also there are mini-series within the whole comic.

Thanks for the great comments. :-) The story will take longer to update because the chapters are ending up twice the size of the first story. I should get Chapter 2 out soon, so keep checking the forums.

I saw all three flash...damn are they funny! TheWeebl has a perfect talent for making insanely catchy music. I remember when Badger Badger came out and we first saw it at the CS department at my college. First off, it was on half the computers there at any given time, but I remember one guy was so crazy over it that he actually recorded a 40 minute loop of the song onto minidisc so he could listen to it while walking between classes and stuff. I wish I was kidding.
As far as the Owl Song, it's funny as hell, but I dunno if I'd call it catchy. Get on my Horse, however, is plain ol' classic Weebl and damned if it isn't funny. The best part is where the horse starts playing the electric paino with his hoof.

Happy Halloween!
Hey guys, have you watched all those [oo halloween] flashes in the portal? Apparently the Owl Orchard is just attempting to flood the portal. Watch out for any possible rule-breaking flash.
Also, sorry for being inactive for the last few days, it's just a matter of time until I get fully active again.
Yes I have seen them all its really annoying after the first one, they are all the same and they say about about something to do with Friday the 13th I guess I will keep an eye out on that date! Nice Halloween stuff in the portal don't know why Owl Orchid are flooding the portal though. Some of the names sound like former Kitty Krew members odd. The Weebl in my view is back to best. I'm getting a little tired of the Halloween theme though. However I don't think the OO are submitting anything breaking the rules yet.
Archer I'm a good shot!

Nothing to be scared about, Lizz. I, for one, don't give a crap that owls may be a protected species. If these Owls start shitting on the portal, they're all gonna die. Remember, Cobra has his tank, and if things go bad, well, I can just jump in time and...oh, on second thought, let's just stick with the tank!

I apologize for the posting of the abusive review. I in no way intended to go against any rules or regulations of the BBS or this club. I have been away from the forums for quite some time with the exception of my return to the NGSM. I have clearly missed a great deal of news in the time I was gone. I will be sure to review the current guidelines before any other mistakes are made on my behalf. I hope that I have not caused too much trouble. I would also like to thank you for not pursuing any disciplinary action.
On a side note, for those of you who do not remember, I have been a long standing member of this club. I would assume in my absence that my status here has fallen to the wayside. In the days of the Newgrounds Mafia I was a liaison to them for the Elite Guard Barracks. At this time I do not have the ability to be an active member, but in the near future I plan to return if I am still welcome. I will be sure to read up on past events and try to get up to speed before becoming active. Thank you all for your time.
Hey guys, sorry for not being more active, but with college and everything I have neither the time to B/P nor the motivation to post much. That being said I'm checking up on the Barracks daily to keep up with matters (and see if Eagle has posted the next chapter of BITB yet :P). Good to see all is quiet in the Portal...oh wait...

I reckon it's an empty threat to be honest, and even if they are planning a flood, there'll be enough people around to clean up, and if things got really bad, well there's always the admins with a shiny red button to fall back on.

Nice, 3rd time around. YAY ME!! I guess the only reason I didn't really get into B/Ping until about 7 months or so ago is because I used to think it would take forever before I could make any real difference in the portal. Was anyone else caught in that frame of mind when they first started?

"As the old saying goes...what was it again?"
Now now I'm sure that it hurt your poor little feelings that somebody made a similar thread to your cherished EGB, but I found the attitudes and actions of some of the members of this club in this thread bordering on getting themselves bans.
Not one of you offered a link to this thread or the NGDD as you so vehemently demanded of the OP to find himself.
As apparent by the OP's reaction to your posts, this is precisely why you shouldn't be twats in other threads. You really shouldn't even post a reply unless you are trying to be helpful and are at least offering a link to where you believe the user should have gone first.
It is not up to you to decide whether a thread in this forum continues or not. It is up to the moderators. Going into a thread to tell a user that his club doesn't belong and then arguing with him over the merits of having such a club is exactly what the intention of the backseat moderating rule is there to keep from happening. Just because you didn't specifically say "lock this" or "this should be locked" does not mean that you didn't do so in as many words with your posts.
Honestly, if this is the kind of elitist dickery that we have to deal with, perhaps the moderation team should reconsider the validity of these types of clubs. I don't know if it's taking in former NGPD members who got that club locked and a lower standard of member in here or a circle jerk culture of elitist attitudes towards the rest of the site, but if that is how you guys are going to act when a like-club topic is made, it's almost as bad as the squabbling between the anti-anime and anime clubs back in the day.
I'll let EagleRock decide on what to do with toiletpaper and porkchop.

Interesting choice of words to start a post. You take it as a fact that the comments made by one person associated with this club are shared by all. You also came to the conclusion that we would be offended by someone starting a club similar to ours.
I respectfully reply that you are incorrect on both assumptions.
Not one of you offered a link to this thread or the NGDD as you so vehemently demanded of the OP to find himself.
That is true, but then only a few members have had a chance to look. In fact, if it wasn't for your post bringing it to our attention, we probably wouldn't have known about it.

I read through those posts. So, there's a slight disagreement on whether this new club is redundant to the NGPD or the EGB - and that disagreement is voiced by only two people, of which one is a member of the EGB. It did not degrade into serious name calling, and although Porkchop may have been a little rough around the edges, there is no harm in his pointing out that other clubs exist, and this new one could be redundant.

What you are perceiving as back-seat modding seems to me to be just some misplaced advice. I seriously doubt Porkchop meant anything other than to point out the possible duplicity of this new club. You are correct in that it is up to the moderators to lock threads and make judgment calls on posts and forums - that is certainly your function. But in this case, I think it was more of a case of misplaced intentions. I know Porkchop, and I seriously doubt he meant to do anything but point out a few facts.

Elitist dickery? Again, you are judging this crew based on the misinterpretation of one member. I will be the first to admit that we are far from perfect, and the age range of the members in this club goes from 14 to 30+ (and I'm on the high end). With this range, you will get a variety of responses, ranging from youthful exuberance to mature analysis. EagleRock and SlashFirestorm keep a close eye on those who bend or break the rules, and I have seen justice meted out when someone crosses the line. However, when these rare incidents do occur, they are usually handled by PM, e-mail and/or IM directly between the mods and EagleRock and/or SlashForestorm
I'll let EagleRock decide on what to do with toiletpaper and porkchop.
ToiletPaper is not part of the EGB. He drops in once in a while, but he is not a member here.
As for Porkchop, IMHO he's done nothing more serious than give misplaced advice, but yes, EagleRock will take it from here.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I am sure you will be hearing from EagleRoch shortly.

So Rock can decide about someone who isn't on the roster?
