Speaking of stats, remember how you said I signed up on your birthday? You actually signed up on my half-birthday, weird. :o

So how're you liking the redesign, Greg? :)

Jul. 21, 2007 | 11:01 PM gfoxcook responds:

Groovy. I'm a big fan of half-birthdays, since mine is New Year's Eve. 8/18, eh? Happy b-day in advance, then.

The redesign: Visually nifty, lots of great potential. 60 level system rockin', though I'll always wish I'd gotten to level 24 and 25, but... getting to level 22 was good.

I miss the old NG already. And yes, I was here for at least two or three other NGs prior to the last NG. But the final pre-CSS NG will probably hold the softest spot in my heart for many a year to come.

Jul. 18, 2007 | 12:02 AM YoinK says:

9.58 is your base VP. Go vote on a submission and it should be higher than 12.98.

Jul. 21, 2007 | 11:03 PM gfoxcook responds:

I realise the profiles have been telling us base VPs up to this point, Yoinkers. That's not the issue I was posting about in the VP thread or whatever you were responding to... it's how the glitch and post-glitch VPedness have been strange in light of comparing gfoxcook to gfoxclock and gfox.


Jul. 18, 2007 | 5:37 PM TarThoron says:

I envy your bloody axe/cleaver thing.

Jul. 21, 2007 | 11:04 PM gfoxcook responds:

Well, I think you're bloody bonkers, sir! #;-}>

:::clicks yer UP::: Oh... well, yeah, yours ain't so hot.

Be jealous of me when I get to be great levels like 42, 45, etc, though. 40's nothing all that great.


Jul. 20, 2007 | 3:26 AM Kisuke says:

Hello good sir. Did you know that your whistle level and the amount of reviews you have now counts towards your VP?

Voting Power
Q: How is Voting Power determined?

A: Voting Power is based on a user's Rank, Blam and Protection points, Whistle level, and the number of reviews written. Take a look at the respective sections to see how voting power is affected by each.

Jul. 21, 2007 | 11:09 PM gfoxcook responds:

Yes, I've seen numerous posts talking about that bit in the FAQ. But if you're responding to my comments about how the VPs are not reacting as I think they should in some thread on the BBS... then you're missing the point, as so many others have.

My two alts, gfoxclock and gfox, have NO WHISTLE POWER. They're both at normal. Both of them have a higher base AND total VP now than they did pre-redesign.

Meanwhile, gfoxcook has 8.12 base VP and 12.99 total VP (a few days ago, 8.11 and 12.98)... which is the exact same VP this account had BEFORE the redesign, despite the fact that I've long been in possession of a deity whistle (strong near-gold silver prior to whistle system rescaling).

From NGlog, still stuck on the day before the redesign (http://nglog.denvish.net/browse.php?id=127):

Experience: 17280 (1211 until level 23)
Base Voting Power: 8.11 (60% B/P Bonus)
Total Voting Power: 12.98 (+0.01)

So how do you explain that one?


Jul. 22, 2007 | 3:30 PM iscrulz says:

Umm shouldnt your banner and profile picture be the newly designed b/p rank badges. Also have you thought of switching auras or you staying neutral.

Jul. 23, 2007 | 8:10 PM gfoxcook responds:

Hell no. Screw the new rank badges. New level icons >>>>> new rank badges.

If I try any different auras, it will be with my alts. NEUTRAL FOR LIFE, BABY.


Jul. 23, 2007 | 6:14 AM alexsmolik says:

Hey man!
Thanks for the comment lol. I responded to it.
Life is indeed a bitch, but as you said, we all face it! I was just having fun (roll-eyes smiley).

Looking at your stats made me remember that I just leveled up!
LVL 42 POWA!

-ALEX

Jul. 23, 2007 | 8:11 PM gfoxcook responds:

Level 42 is an awesome sword. I'll be there myself before the end of 2007. HUZZAH. Thanks for dropping by and responding also, man.


Jul. 23, 2007 | 10:14 AM Denvish says:

Eyup Greg, how's it hangin'?
I need to get me one of them shiny halo whistles

Jul. 23, 2007 | 8:12 PM gfoxcook responds:

You don't have one already? Whoa. I had no idea. It's goin' all right. Thankeeees for droppin' by.

Oh gfox, why do I love you?

Rhetorical questions FTW. On that note, wassup?

Jul. 23, 2007 | 10:58 PM gfoxcook responds:

I dunno. And... um... who were you in a previous incarnation? Isn't FAMAS a type of gun in Metal Gear? I have no idea who you are. But who cares! NAMMUCH IS UP, THAT'S WHAT! #;-}>


Jul. 24, 2007 | 8:26 AM Kisuke says:

Err... Um...

Let's chalk it up to bugs sir. Lots and LOTS of bugs. *sneak sneak sneak*

Jul. 25, 2007 | 2:17 AM gfoxcook responds:

Yeah. Dem bugs. What'll they think of next?


Jul. 25, 2007 | 2:12 AM TarThoron says:

I can't respond directly to your response, afaik, so here's another comment.

Believe it or not, the level 40 icon is one of my faves. 46 is my top fave, then 42, 51, 40, 55, 27, 10...

So again, NV.

Jul. 25, 2007 | 2:28 AM gfoxcook responds:

Yeah. It's not quite the same as ol' RG's profile comments, eh? Though I actually like the "call and response" of the comments + the responses. I could post a comment myself in here, but I'm just replying to you guys if and when you comment, so I just use the reply feature.

The one thing the new NG is missing that the old RG had... is the ability to not only see all the comments/responses in your own userpage... but to see all of the comments you've LEFT for others, and their responses, all in one spot. That would be awesome.

46, 42, 51, 40, 55, 27, 10 for teh TarThoron, eh? Lemme assemble my faves:

55, 42, 27, 44, 45, 51, 34, 16 (for old time's sake)

I call them:

55 - Golden-Hilted Broadsword
42 - Zweihander (Claymore, possibly?)
27 - TEH HOLY LV16 NUNCHAKU REBORN! (but no longer ultimate? (gasp)
44 - Katana + that little blade for seppuku
45 - Black Scythe
51 - Master Sword from Legend of Zelda!
34 - Triple Shuriken
16 - Ye Olde Chain (and hey, it's the new level 16!)

BEST EIGHT LEVEL ICONS. Woot! I can't believe the nunchaku got bumped to my third fave. But they did. The new levels have some AWESOME swords. #;-}>

Honourable mentions: 28, 30, 32, 33, 41, 43, 46, 50, 54, 56.

And that is all. (gasp)


Jul. 30, 2007 | 1:37 PM Major-punk says:

You need more saves.

Like 11,830 more.

Jul. 31, 2007 | 7:08 PM gfoxcook responds:

Tell me about it! I'm counting on Clock Week (which I'm taking off W/TH/F from work for) to get rid of at least 830 or so of those that I still need. #;-}>


Aug. 4, 2007 | 3:30 PM Bahamut says:

Too late to do this. Oh well. BTW, hello gfox.

Aug. 5, 2007 | 9:18 PM gfoxcook responds:

Too late to do what? Say hi in response to my news post? Whyzat?

It's never too late, seeing as how I'm leaving my stat news posts up as the most recent for a gooooood long time. I can't think of much anything that would prompt me to replace them on gfoxcook, gfoxclock, or gfox for quite awhile. But we'll see. Maybe level 41... maybe 10,000 posts?

... Oh, and hello yourself! #;-}>

gfoxcook, can you please review my 2007 flash movies??? ;)

Aug. 11, 2007 | 8:15 PM gfoxcook responds:

Hmmm... I do need to reclaim some of my deleted reviews. I just may do that. I just opened them all, though, and 3 of the 4 of 'em = collabs that you can't respond to my review from. Gonna hurt my response ratio unless your collaby friends can spot me teh review responserings. #;-}>

Anywho... sure, why not.


Aug. 8, 2007 | 9:25 PM X-Naut says:

You stat whore. >:c

Pfft. BETTER THAN A NAMEWHORE. #;-}>


Aug. 10, 2007 | 10:39 PM sixflab says:

This is about your reviews, you are almost off of the top 100 reviewers list. I have 647 now and blaklyon has 645.

Aug. 11, 2007 | 8:18 PM gfoxcook responds:

Thanks for the warning, but I've kinda known I was gonna get ditched off the list if I didn't get my ass moving... for at least a year now (that's how long I've been sitting in the 95-100 range of the top 100).

However, being warned of it by someone who's just now passed me (though I myself was at 647 a few weeks ago... DAMNED REVIEW DELETIONS!) is very courteous. I do appreciate you taking the time to come and alert me. I'll do my best to prevent it from happening, or if it's already happened... from lasting too long. Gonna review Yoink's 2007 flashes now and post on the BBS laters. YEA-EAH.


Aug. 12, 2007 | 6:59 AM Bahamut says:

lol NAMEWHORES FTW

Aug. 12, 2007 | 5:28 PM gfoxcook responds:

He gets around-round-get-around, Baha-around...


Aug. 15, 2007 | 10:21 AM ramagi says:

lol so going for a few more saves...Didn't I help you get you saves set at 24K once.
also you like my lvel I con I see. What you think of the gold aura that I get with it. :)
Good luck on those saves. Not like they will be hard to get.
I'm enjoying my 100k retirement :)

als the faq has changed what it says about VP....if people havn't looked :)
yes I know more than I can say that is all.

Aug. 15, 2007 | 4:56 PM gfoxcook responds:

A "few" more? #;-}> Yeah. Going for 12,000 more.

You certainly did help me by asking Wade to fix my saves since the damned whistled stuffs that got protected pushed me a couple saves over that perfect 24000 mark, yep. Maybe in a year or so, I might ask for your help again if I shoot up to 36002 saves. #;-}>

Like I said on the BBS, your level icon looks so damned cool mostly BECAUSE of the gold aura. The gold background + the black scythe together = awesomeness. I don't think that would look as good with any of the other auras. For most levels, though, I still think green looks best.

No, the saves won't be hard to get, per se.... but they'll still take me a long time. If it wasn't for Clock Day 07 and 08, in fact... I wouldn't feel comfortable guessing it will take a year. #;-}> More like 2....

I'll keep my out for that VP note, ramagi, but until things settle down and all the fixes are in place, it's hard to know where stuff's going, so... I'm a patient guy.


Aug. 18, 2007 | 2:21 AM Chris-Aldin says:

You are a Statwhores idol dood. lol. I myself enjoy stats and would love to have the deity whistle. So godly.

Flash: 0 >:(
Music: 0 >:(

Aug. 19, 2007 | 11:53 AM gfoxcook responds:

Well, thank you. But if you're trying to suggest that by not having any flash or music submissions, I have yet to complete the process of becoming a statwhore idol.... sir, those are the two things on this site one should NEVER increase your count JUST to be a statwhore. That would totally devalue the creative process on NG. Just as with my longass posts and longass reviews, were I to ever submit flash and music, I'd do it right. Not just to spam up my counts. Yar. :::tips cap:::


Aug. 18, 2007 | 3:49 AM PureLionHeart says:

Your stats turn me on, gfox. Soooooooo much.

Aug. 19, 2007 | 11:54 AM gfoxcook responds:

Oh my. Well, you've got quite the nice level icon/rank icon combo going in your own UP right now. PLUS....

9,800 / 9,990 <--- now that's teh sexy. Hurry up and 10k it, man!

Level 41 skullcrusher eh?

Greg is badass now.

Sep. 3, 2007 | 11:29 PM gfoxcook responds:

I wasn't before? #;-}>

Mallet/hammer/skullcrusher/whatha veyou is a drastic improvement over level 40's bone cleaver, as I like to call it, though. MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT.

Woo hoo! LEVEL 41 FTW!


Sep. 10, 2007 | 12:14 AM iscrulz says:

Its ben to long since my 1st visit. i am typing w/ the wiimota so pardun the typos. okay uh what was I going to say oh go Cowboys Stars and Mavericks. 9126 my pin

36 people have fav'd me as one of their favourite flash artists. :D Great number, right?

Sep. 29, 2007 | 11:20 PM gfoxcook responds:

The greatest number, man. The greatest. Congrats.


Oct. 23, 2007 | 2:22 PM Sir-Nuts says:

Hey, where have you been? You haven't posted in a while and you even got off the top 100 reviews!

Nov. 17, 2007 | 9:48 PM gfoxcook responds:

Eh, it was gonna happen sooner or later. I can get back on that list if I really wanna. Sometime. 10,000 posts is my first priority, and it's gotta happen in teh 2008s.


Oct. 28, 2007 | 10:13 AM Bahamut says:

I'm less than 2000 B/P behind you. ;)

Nov. 17, 2007 | 9:48 PM gfoxcook responds:

Sooooooooooooooooooooo? #;-}>


Nov. 1, 2007 | 5:09 PM AlexJS says:

Have you noticed that your Blams ALONE are enough to get you the Supreme Commander rank?

WOW.

Nov. 17, 2007 | 9:49 PM gfoxcook responds:

You don't aim for (and then hit) 36,000 blams without noticing that it's higher than 30,000, yanno. But that wasn't the reason for wanting to get that many, 36's just my fave number.

And that's why I'm going for 36,000 saves as well. Slowly... but eventually.


Nov. 18, 2007 | 8:32 AM Bahamut says:

So I will be passing you soon.

Nov. 18, 2007 | 11:27 PM gfoxcook responds:

Congratulations soon, then!

Sheesh, why do people still make a big deal about that. #;-}>


Nov. 23, 2007 | 2:41 PM JerkClock says:

Just be lucky that you have mostly good levels ahead. My last good one was 32, and the next is 39.

Jan. 6, 2008 | 12:36 AM gfoxcook responds:

It wasn't that long ago that I was level 40, myself. Look up at the top of this news post. It was July 2007, right after the redesign was released on 7/17/07. Once you hit your "next cool level" of 39, then you're getting really close to mostly good levels ahead, just like me. CHIN UP!


Nov. 25, 2007 | 11:43 PM bifgis says:

If you ever decide to update your pentalist again, I'll work my ass off to be on it!

Jan. 6, 2008 | 12:37 AM gfoxcook responds:

The main way aside from getting stats that you can do that is by posting in the thread before I do that update. As in, soon before, not now. It will help to be reminded of people who weren't on the list before but should be on the final list, so I don't leave anyone off.


Dec. 7, 2007 | 4:24 PM Sir-Nuts says:

Time for a news post, right?

Jan. 6, 2008 | 12:38 AM gfoxcook responds:

I ain't an artist on NG, so I don't have NG-related news, really. So I just leave this post commemorating the redesign release on 7/17/07 and my "before and after" stats as my one and only newspost. It's the same for both my alts, gfoxclock and gfox. That's just a decision I made pretty early on, as I hinted at in one of my responses up above this one. :::shrugs:::

If I want to post a "news post," I post it in the pentalist thread on Wi/Ht? on the BBS.


Dec. 7, 2007 | 5:14 PM ibhenowflee says:

How many alts do you have?

Jan. 6, 2008 | 12:38 AM gfoxcook responds:

4 alts. 2 I deposit for, 2 I don't.


Dec. 11, 2007 | 2:59 PM Cyberdevil says:

At least the exp is increasing steadily. :P

Jan. 6, 2008 | 12:39 AM gfoxcook responds:

Lol all the txt is trough each other ^^ uhh nice stats

Jan. 6, 2008 | 12:41 AM gfoxcook responds:

All the text is through each other? You mean my responses and people's comments are fuxxed and overlapping? Maybe you need to refresh the page, it ain't supposed to look that way. Unless yer dr0nk.


Jan. 12, 2008 | 6:15 PM Bahamut says:

Can one alt of mine have a name based on your name please?

Jan. 13, 2008 | 2:44 AM gfoxcook responds:

Sure thing, as long as it's not a "nameclone" of one of my three account names, meaning people will confuse you for me.

And keep the gfox smiley usage down a bit so it doesn't totally mindfunk us all. #;-}>

Jan. 28, 2008 | 7:55 AM iscrulz says:

I have a 74.3 prediction rating on my Everybody Votes Channel. My highest mii in Check Mii Out is Level 9 with a MasterJudging Eye.

Lilx beat that.

Jan. 31, 2008 | 8:29 PM gfoxcook responds:

I'm mostly between 63% and 66% on the prediction rating in Everybody Votes.

I don't know what you mean by "highest mii," you mean the best you've ever done in voting in Check Mii Out contests is a 9? I've had about 8 9-rated miis, and yes, I've had Master Judging Eye once. I usually have the next one down from that, though.

So... I think I beatcha on Check Mii Out, but you certainly own me on Everybody Votes. WE BOTH WIN. #;-}>

I was going to tell you it won't take you all that long... and then I went to your profile and saw you're level 5. Okay, well... I won't lie to you and say it will be easy. But if you really really REALLY do want it badly enough. You can get it. It's just going to take about 1800 days of depositing from you. ARE YOU UP TO THE CHALLENGE?

Feb. 8, 2008 | 4:51 AM gfoxcook responds:

What kind of nonsense is that, man?? You've got twice my saves. Hell, more like three times my saves. I WISH I had half your saves, cause then I'd be at my goal of 36k.

Compared to you, I am a modest saviour. Sure, I was once up there with you and ramagi, we were mixing it up with the #1, #2, and #3 rankings, I think each of us had all three of them at one time or another... but those days are long past. YOU are the master now. :::bows to you:::

The only thing great about my blamming is that it produced a number as great as 36,000. #;-}>


Feb. 13, 2008 | 3:04 PM Tsuchinoko says:

You should update it.

Feb. 15, 2008 | 3:36 AM gfoxcook responds:

Update what? My news post? It's a marker from 7/17/2007, its entire point is to never be updated. What else.... the pentalist? I will, within a couple months, most likely. Something else? I can't think of what else someone would tell me in my profile to update.


Feb. 16, 2008 | 7:14 AM rafattack says:

so what, big deal... ok im just jealous

Feb. 18, 2008 | 12:06 AM gfoxcook responds:

Huh? What, my NG stats?

I'm jealous of your new bass. I wish I had (and could decently play) one.


Feb. 19, 2008 | 11:00 AM Cyberdevil says:

Do you have any plans on writing more than one news post?

Feb. 19, 2008 | 10:46 PM gfoxcook responds:

Never!


Feb. 22, 2008 | 11:52 PM Dakka942 says:

If you don't mind me asking, why do you want 36K saves so badly? I assume you want your save point number to match your blams, but why 36,000? Why stop there? Is 36K a important number to you? Just asking. Nice stats by the way.

Feb. 23, 2008 | 11:14 PM gfoxcook responds:

Not 36,000. 36 itself. I want 36,000 saves because it enables me to still participate in the portal (I was retired at 24k and 36k saves and blams respectively for about 1.5 years or so, and rather than blam/save exclusively for my alt, I chose to restart saving movies with this account). The goal is 36k on both stats because 36 is my favourite/lucky number.

Hey... could you do me a BIG FAVOR and review some of my songs? Just because I need some real (Professional Newgroundser) help.

Feb. 23, 2008 | 11:15 PM gfoxcook responds:

I haven't done any audio reviews in years, but if I start up again, I'll try to remember to head to your songs first. Good enough? Hope so.

GFOXCOOK, YOU FUCKING PRICK!!!!!!!!!!

How dare you say that teh Lemonparty is inferior to teh Goatse! Goatse is no way better than teh Lemonparty!!!

Mar. 4, 2008 | 3:40 AM gfoxcook responds:

LOL!

I never said it was better, I just mentioned both of them getting level icons past level 60. Wait, are you taking offense to me saying Lemonparty would be level 61 and Goatse would be level 64? Well, sir, level 64 may be higher, but level 59 and level 60 icons right now on NG suck compared to lower level icons... so that doesn't mean I thought Goatse was superior. JSYK. #;-}>


Mar. 3, 2008 | 11:31 PM NEVR says:

OH. MY. GOD.

I just saw some of your more recent posts in the Wi/Ht, and at first glance, I mistook you for ReconRebel, due to that amazing black flail.

Congrats on the level up my good man - level 43 is one of my favourite post-redesign levels, if not my very favourite.

You know the only thing left for you to do now (other than 36k saves)? 36,000 EXP. You better do it, just so you're around for a long time to come.

gfox smiley for awesome conclusion to comment:
#;-}>

Mar. 4, 2008 | 3:42 AM gfoxcook responds:

Heh. Yeah, that'll happen. Me and Recon have been the same level for around 50% of the time of the past 2 years, yanno. #;-}>

Thanks for the congrats! I'll enjoy it, though I'll miss the swordness. There's three more sword levels coming (or 4?), so I'll be okay. #;-}>

Of course I'll do 36,000 exp. Will I stop there? That's another matter. #;-}>

Hey there, gfoxcook old buddy / friend / friendly-type person / acquaintance / bloke who I once met at a party / total stranger of mine, when are you going to give us a new news post? Or are you still in denial about your inevitable and crushing future defeat?

=]

Mar. 8, 2008 | 8:44 PM gfoxcook responds:

Hey there, ol Verty. What does a new news post have to do with being or not being in denial, eh? This news post is a memorial to my past-NG stats. Anyone can see what my account is like post-redesign, they can just look over to the left of here and see all my "new NG stats." If I make a new news post, it will hide this post, which shows all my "old NG stats" at the moment of the NG redesign, the most drastic change to NG stat systems since I began using NG every day in January of 2003. Why would I want to destroy my own monument to my oldstyle NG account's stats?


Mar. 7, 2008 | 2:15 PM LukeLovesLemonparty says:

Congratulations on reaching 10000 posts, but why didn't you upload teh Lemonparty onto your 10000th post?

Mar. 8, 2008 | 8:46 PM gfoxcook responds:

Why thank you, LLL (hey, your acronym is the same as the List Leapers List... heh!). I didn't post Lemonparty in my 10,000th post because I didn't want to blind the readers of my pentalist topic with the brilliance and magnificence that is Lemonparty. Then they'd be too blind to see my new pentalist update, which is forthcoming! Got me?

Hey dere, ol' buddy. We just don't see enough of each other, wot wit teh death of RG around a year ago and all. You should drop by my pentalist topic. It's about to have an update for the first time in 14.5 months. #;-}>

Thanks for dropping by here again, though!

20 straight wins, damn impressive.
My everybody votes % is at my lowest ever 69.4% and for the mii's I do worse every time.
RG profile comments doesnt it remind you, in the single news post profiles
EUEUEUEUEUEUEUEU.

Mar. 15, 2008 | 8:31 PM gfoxcook responds:

Yep. 21 now, all alone in 2nd place, all time, in win streakness in teh NBA. IMPRESSIVE indeeeeed.

I'd kill to have your "lowest ever" % on the vote channel. Mine was up past 66.6, but it's dropped all the way to 60.0.... my gf's is 53%, it could be worse. The people lately have been really stupid with their answers, haven't they... looks like both you and I (and her) have been suffering as a result.

I'm doing okay on the Miis, but I really only ever look through about 10 pages worth and vote initially. I always mean to come back a few days later and see if anything better's been submitted but I don't get around to it...

Mar. 19, 2008 | 4:44 PM Vert says:

So basicly this new post is a monument to your massive ego, huh?

=]

Mar. 19, 2008 | 7:21 PM gfoxcook responds:

Only if anyone on NG who ever enjoys a single stat they've gotten on their account is an egotist.

This news post was a monument to all the stats, to all my history, from 2/18/2000 to 7/172007, because NG changed forever on that day in some aspects.


Mar. 19, 2008 | 8:26 PM Vert says:

Do the words sarcasm, wit and "I'm not being serious about anything I've written about your news post and thus your answers were not supposed to serious (unless you're doing that to annoy me in which case I bow down to your reverse psychology) so please understand this simple fact and I apologize if I didn't make myself suficiently clear" mean anything to you?

=]

Mar. 19, 2008 | 11:48 PM gfoxcook responds:

Yes... all of that. Plus, I did see your smiley, too.

So yes, I was intentionally ignoring your witty sarcasm, as you put it. OH SNAP. #;-}>


Mar. 20, 2008 | 12:41 PM Vert says:

I bow down humbly to your masterfully use of psychology, but no that the although the battle is lost, the war has just begun.

And I'm always waiting. Always.

Mar. 20, 2008 | 8:00 PM gfoxcook responds:

Oh no.... now you've found another front to fight me on. Stick to the quest to take me down in NG stats eventually, please. #;-}>

HI IM A MAN CAN BE HAPPY IF HE IS ALIVE U JUST NEED TO FIND HAPPYNESS

Mar. 21, 2008 | 10:58 PM gfoxcook responds:

At first I had no idea what you were talking about, but then I realised you were responding to my profile quote. I learned that quote from a book called "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman.

The quote doesn't mean that to be alive is to be sad and to die is to be happy. The quote means that the full sum of a man's life cannot be judged until his life is over. IOW, no matter what your life has been up to now, you have no idea what's to come. When your final chapter is written, then your worth, your life, your happiness... can be judged. Make sense now? #;-}>

Mar. 27, 2008 | 11:39 AM YoinK says:

I like the old style blam/protect ranks you keep on your page.

Mar. 27, 2008 | 7:02 PM gfoxcook responds:

I dunno what you mean. You mean my oldschool NG stats from 7/17/2007 pre-redesign in my original news post? If so, what do b/p ranks have to do with it? I was EGSC before the redesign, I was still EGSC afterwards. #;-}>

If you mean my pentalist site, I have no idea what you mean, since the pentalist has nothing to do with b/p rank badges or rank names. O_o


Mar. 27, 2008 | 1:41 PM LukeLovesLemonparty says:

YOU FUCKING PRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mar. 27, 2008 | 7:02 PM gfoxcook responds:

Awwww.... you'll always be my favourite fetish freak (FFF), LLL.


Mar. 27, 2008 | 6:23 PM TarThoron says:

American Gods is a great book. I've recommended it to several people in the years since I first read it. I like to reference it during theology discussions.

On a completely different book related subject, ever read "The Wisdom Of Laziness" by Fred C. Kelly? I'm reading it right now, and I've loved every word so far. Something tells me you'd like it to.

Pre-congrats on 20K exp.

Mar. 27, 2008 | 7:03 PM gfoxcook responds:

No, I haven't read that one. Is it non-fiction? But yep, American Gods is a good one. I need to read more Neil Gaiman, as that's the only book of his I have. Good Omens, my gf tells me, should be next up on the platter.

Thanks for the 20k grats. It's comin'... slow but sure. #;-}>


Mar. 27, 2008 | 11:15 PM TarThoron says:

Non-Fiction would be more accurate than fiction, but I'm not sure that's how I'd classify it. Basically it's a compilation of Kelly's musing articles, the type you would see on the opinion page of a newspaper or magazine, all relating to human psychology and/or sociology, but still quite entertaining to read.

To briefly summarize/paraphrase the opening (title) chapter: if necessity is the mother of invention, then laziness is surely its father. All human progress has been made by lazy individuals who want to make hard tasks easier. Early cavemen had to walk to a nearby body of water whenever they were thirsty, until some lazy person decided to make some crude bucket, and got a day's supply of water in one trip. Some even lazier person decided that instead of lugging a bucket back and forth all the time, they'd dig a channel, and have the stream come to them!

.

I think the only other Neil Gammon book I've read was Stardust, which is also a good tale, but geared towards a younger audience than his other stuff.

Mar. 28, 2008 | 7:35 PM gfoxcook responds:

Yay, laziness, teh sekrit father of invention! #;-}> Thanks for the summary, sounds intriguing indeed.


Apr. 12, 2008 | 4:20 PM NEVR says:

Hey man, thought I'd drop by and see how you're doing, seeing as you've been largely absent from the Wi/Ht over the past week or so.

Dunno if you realized, but I've stopped making congrats lists in the LUL for the time being, until I get my motivation back. I thought it was silly to keep doing them just for the sake of it. I'm still around the Wi/Ht though, so I look forward to catching up with you there when you're back around. Anyway, hope everything is good with you.

BTW, I answered your comment on my user page if you're interested :)

Apr. 13, 2008 | 1:56 PM gfoxcook responds:

Largely absent from LUL, maybe. But aside from a few straight days where I was so immersed in my DS that I didn't post at all, I've been posting in other topics here and there for the past couple weeks. I just haven't been in LUL since March. And now I got 10+ pages to catch up on. NOTHING NEW THERE. #;-}>

Congrats on retiring congrats list. We all must reach that place, welcome aboard.


Apr. 12, 2008 | 10:31 PM NEVR says:

BTW, forgot to mention before, if you have any old screenshots of NG from the 2000-2005 period, I made a little thread - http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/8 86083 - to archive any little gems, so it would be awesome if you had any and could post them in there :)

Apr. 13, 2008 | 1:57 PM gfoxcook responds:

I noticed that topic, but most of the screenies you mention in there sound like general NG things, not stuff particularly about your own account. Most of my new (and old) screenies are about my own statliness. But I'm sure I have SOME old screenies that are just funny or old NG stuffs, or old top 50 exp list screenies and the like.

I'll take a look, but all the old screenshots are on my old desktop from 1997, so... I'll either have to try and post them from there (probably not a good idea)... or else transfer them to this laptop first. Either way, don't hold your breath!


Apr. 13, 2008 | 10:51 AM sirtom93 says:

Buy some stickers.

Apr. 13, 2008 | 1:59 PM gfoxcook responds:

Tom Fulp sent me a free NG t-shirt and 5 NG stickers back when I was a mod, and I've never actually used the stickers as I'm not a huge sticker-using-person, so... no need to buy some. It's the one NG stat (aside from audio/flash submission stats) that I don't care about! (gasp, I know)


Apr. 13, 2008 | 2:27 PM sirtom93 says:

Why are you not a mod anymore? your an awesome poster.

Apr. 14, 2008 | 5:57 PM gfoxcook responds:

what, there's no other good posters who aren't mods? #;-}> I resigned because I hadn't been actively BBS modding in years, and I wasn't active enough at the time (April 2007) to justify continuing as a mod.

Believe it or not, but the main purpose of being a mod is to moderate threads on the BBS. If you're not going to do that, there's really no point to it. As I've said many times, the only things I miss about it are A) my name being lovely green on the BBS listings, and B) being able to post more than 4 times in a thread in a half-hour.


Apr. 15, 2008 | 12:08 PM sirtom93 says:

And the mods forum?

Apr. 15, 2008 | 7:09 PM gfoxcook responds:

That was never appealing to me. It's a bit elitist to have as your favourite forum the one place on the site where less than 1% of the membership can post. It's like a stuffy country club. Okay, not really, but when most of the people I enjoy talking to are on Wi/Ht?, why would I have ever spent much time on another forum?

There ya go.


Apr. 15, 2008 | 2:06 PM BR says:

I envy you Gfoxcook. I regret that I never joined in on the numerous conversation that occured in the WHs/How forum between so many of wh/hw members, it all seemed like great fun but I was but a stranger.

I always admired how the years past & thru, you've tackled any problem and answered any questions with sincere modesty, and patience.

Not to forgot your sheer amount of words/page, woo, what could your WPM be clocked at? Well, stay well good sir.

Apr. 15, 2008 | 7:13 PM gfoxcook responds:

Heya, ol' BahamutReborn! Your new username is soooo freakin' brief, BTW. #;-}>

Why do you speak in the past tense? About never joining in... about conversations that once happened... about stuff that seemed like great fun.

All of the things you talk about missing are still going on. The people/faces/etc. change over the years, but Wi/Ht? is still the best place to hang out on NG BBS, just as it was for me in 2003. If you agree with me, if we share the same taste in NG forums.... then what are you waiting for?

Join us on Wi/Ht? now. Better late than never!

My WPM? 100-120. I probably couldn't cut it taking dictation as a secretary or using those wierd-ass keyboards for doing court transcriptions or closed captioning... but aside from that level of uber-fast-typing, yeah... I'm fairly fast. I'm only slowed down by my almost irresistable urge to always correct any typo I didn't mean to make... no matter how slight. THAT IS MY ULTIMATE BOTTLENECK.

Thanks for the compliments and the well wishes, but I don't see why you envy me. If you envy me my participation on Wi/Ht?, then all you have to do is come participate as well. DO IT NOW. #;-}>


Apr. 16, 2008 | 5:45 PM Vert says:

I see that you still haven't changed the news post... so that means that I must now ask you how would you respond to my obvious threat of visiting your NG page every day (after my quick 5-movies-voting-to-deposit-my-experie nce) and posting something new?

Apr. 16, 2008 | 6:14 PM gfoxcook responds:

I wouldn't see it as a threat, personally. Seeing as how my main userpage doesn't force-load this entire long string of you guys' comments and my responses... it's not like I'd have to reload it every damned time I want to check my savecount on my profile or something.

So go for it. But you'll get bored long before I do... plus I doubt you'll find it very enjoyable unless you can really come up with something new to say every day.


Apr. 16, 2008 | 7:15 PM BR says:

You are SO RIGHT.:-) Allrighty Gfox, thanks for your words man! I'll try to join in once in a while, seeing as I'm visiting the review abusive thread once and there, haha.

Cheers man!

Apr. 16, 2008 | 8:12 PM gfoxcook responds:

It's not like you've never posted on Wi/Ht? before, exactly. Swing by LUL every now and then. Come by my two fave topics (I JUST SO HAPPEN TO HAVE CREATED THEM BOTH), the VP list topic and the pentalist topic. Just drop a "hi!" in there now and then, even. And hey, did you check out the final update of the pentalist on my website?


Apr. 17, 2008 | 4:00 PM Lorkas says:

GZ man! Congratulations ^__^

Apr. 17, 2008 | 8:22 PM gfoxcook responds:

GZ? I assume you're congratting me on teh 20,000 exp. Thank you very much!


Apr. 17, 2008 | 6:13 PM Vert says:

Hmm, it seems that my psychological warfare against you has been very unsuccessful so far... I must step up my efforts!

On the other hand, maybe I'm just luring you into a sense of security, so when the blow actually happens, it'll be all the more terrifying! And then I'll get to say "Exactly as I planned!".

<Evil Kefka laugh>

Apr. 17, 2008 | 8:25 PM gfoxcook responds:

Well, aside from the fact that to be "successful," your efforts would have to cause me to miss no less than 171... let me repeat that..... ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-ONE.... deposits, so that you could gain 1710 exp on me and pass me.... and that's assuming you don't miss any.

So... aside from that definition of success or failure for you.... you can lure me into "false" security all you want, the eventual "blow," if it ever even comes... is DECADES away, sir. So.... I'm not too worried, Kefka-wannabe. #;-}>

Apr. 20, 2008 | 12:24 AM NEVR says:

You know, I do miss the old B/P badges... I'm drawing close to Brigadier General now, and with the old badges I'd be getting some nice green leaves adorning the sides of my rank insignia (Coop called them the "Salad" ranks, heh). WIth the current badges, I'll get no lovely green leaves, just a star, which somehow doesn't seem quite as special.

At least I can look at them on your user page.

Apr. 20, 2008 | 1:56 AM gfoxcook responds:

Yes, I know he calls them that, but I prefer "the Laurel Wreaths of VICTORIOUS GENERALHOOD!"

The star's good, yes. But no wreath = NO VICTORY. From the times of Caesar.... the laurel wreath has meant victory. ;_;

Ah well, glad my profile/sigpic provide you some old-timey b/p rankbadgey goodness, at least.
