Jon, you're better off without this site, really.
I believe you deserve more then this shit hole named Newgrounds. Have you ever considered going to Somethingawful?
Take care,

Not really, I don't like the idea of paying to use forums - the idea of keeping riff-raff out with a simple charge is interesting (and a few dollars isn't a problem) but there's perfectly good forums elsewhere.
well, you will be missed for you fun lock messages in topics i must say. and i only found out looking at old posts from the rages topic, now the BBS is a shithole, i must say
Cheers. Part of the problem is that the non-junk topics are just lame, and you can't really delete/ban for sucking at the BBS. Whilst it's good that a huge amount of sheer crap is removed, there's little actual good content, even in somewhere like Politics.
I agree, the BBS has greatly gone down hill recently :(
k, Error - your response was too short
Yo man, wi/ht gonna miss ya.
Does it have any mods left? Everyone that ever went there has either left or been barred, it's like ramagi vs the world I'd imagine
This is crazy. You're completely right about nobody noticing that you're demodded. I didn't even notice except BlueHippo IMed me about it. I'd make a thread on it if I wasn't currently banned for stupidly posting in a bumped thread (fucking traps they are).
It just feels so weird because I remember that Rick Roll thread and the drama with Joe you had last week about that.
See you in the funny papers Jon. You will be missed :'(
The trick to spotting bumped topics is that they usually:
- have retarded titles
- have ALL CAPS titles
- Are made by Adambomb or anyone else who's long left the BBS
- have a similar title to about 20 other topics on the first page
If, of course, you miss the fact that the first post was made in like 2002 :-)
Oh, I knew it was a bumped thread. That was the problem; I pointed it out to everyone else :3
Er, oops?
and just to tell you about the wi/ht, its a bloody shithole now... full of post count + 1 ers... since no mods go on it, they'll never get banned...
Well, like duh, obviously. Just been away for a couple of days and will respond to everyone else when I've caught up with other things.
I'm acutally sad about this...On my old 05 account I PMed Bedn and he never replied...:---(
Unless you were offering cadny, he's probably ignore it
The hell were you demodded for? About the only reason I cant think of would be inactivity, but if it's that then wtf? That's never been a problem before.
Commiseration's and all that for the demodding. Not gonna butter you up and say you were one of the best mods or whatever, but you certainly weren't a bad one.
I also can't believe nobody noticed O_o Normally this sort of thing gets shit loads of posts.
Well, I guess someone made a post, seeing how there's been an explosion of 40+ comments over the last ~48 hours
:'(
(>'-')>
Oh wow, that sucks. Well atleast you had a good run and meeted some famous people of newgrounds...probably fun eh? I'm pretty sure many newgrounds users are going to miss you since you won't be on regularly anymore, but you know, it's newgrounds. Newgrounds can be hillarious and dumb, but a bit loserish and cold at the same time.
But you know, time moves on and changes are made. I hope you deal with this demodding in an...erm....respectable manner.
heh.
So anyway, I hope you enjoy your new life as a non-mod of newgrounds ^_^
Cheers. As stated, I'll still be about, just not on the BBS
Bleh, you were one of the more likeable mods... But you gotta keep going 'till you run out of cake :)
THE CAKE IS A LIE
This wasn't for a reason. It's personal. They don't like you for some reason. You didn't expect an unexpected attack from them. And they didn't even send you a PM? I bet their explanation would be "we were too busy fapping at Willi's posts"
Deleted your other two word comment as it added little... meh, I have my suspicions, but I don't really care.
"The number of moderators that we have right now is excessive as it is, so I see no reason to return"
As for the actual site, the BBS is pretty much a hole now. The signal to noise ratio is terrible. If I want to just discuss things, there are thousands of better places to do it."
Smart man.
Cheers
Yeah. This is how I feel about Newgrounds too. Too many assholes in power and too many idiots getting away with making the forum suck ass.
I've given up on NG and only came back to make an offensive topic about Michael J Fox.
Which, despite being recieved with humor and kudos, was deleted in five minutes.
Let them have their circle jerk.
For the most part, people do a damn good job. They just handled this thing terribly imo
What did you do?
I read it all, and still couldn't figure it out.
Went on a drunken video posting spree which I was locking/dealing with at my end, until Joe decided to start deleting stuff without saying a thing until I called whoever out. Flaming and then demodding ensues.
Well, that's what you get for promising spider porn, and then giving us "Rick."
Meh, don't mind me. I have a kick-ass memory that just recalls certain things. Sorry to hear you got de-modded. For what it's worth, I don't think you were a bad Mod. But yeah, you should have been a bit more active. Other than that, not bad.
Do you really think I'd provide spider porn, srsly?
I admire the way you handled this Jon, and i suppose it was better thisd happen than you keep on and become a powerthirsty Naxi like, say, Zerok. I myself wouldnt put it past the admins to treat someone that serve them this well like a piece of shit on the bottom of their shoe, and thats the sad truth.
FWIW Zerok PMed me at the time asking what I was doing, saying he didn't like it from a "doesn't look good on mods as a whole" angle, but let things slide. Jordy's fine.
Whisky, alright.
Whisky's so expensive over here though

I was informed of this by Gagsy last night and I haven't been on the BBS lately so this is quite unhappy news and I've seen you as a great user and mod (probably because I've never been in trouble with you). I would think that because you were slightly in active like you said has contributed to the demodding. I was told that you made a few threads that are usually locked or whatever then had an argument with Joe, also that you had drank a few too many. T'is a shame that no one has really noticed it and myself feel a bit guilty that I never even knew until some one informed me.
Have fun with that small fortune just don't spend it on something you regret later on. Personally I would like to see you make an appearance more often despite this incident as in my 4 years I've seen many leave and one day it'll be my turn which is something I refuse to do.
Maybe it's a good thing to get off this for you.

Cheers. I'm not suicidal or anything crazy right now, I'm just bored out of my skull.
