More Info On the Newgrounds Server Crash

Posted by Jebbal - October 25th, 2011


As you are probably aware, Tom got drunk last night and uploaded some naked pics of himself. Thankfully, his brother, Wade, happened to be monitoring the Flash Portal at the time. Horrified by the title of a new submission, "Heu guys herse me nd my oenis@ votev5", Wade went straight to work attempting to hack Tom's account so he could delete the movie. Time seemed to drag on, and Wade helplessly watched as images of his brother's genitalia racked up over 72,000 views. He was unsuccessful in jacking into the account, and the views continued to roll in by the thousand. That's when I decided to step in. "If glorious user, WadeFulp, isn't going to do anything about this... then I will," I said to myself, getting up from my chair and making my way over to the super computer. I booted up Flash CS 10 Deluxe Combo Champion Edition and got down to business. If I was going to make a cartoon complex enough to crash the Newgrounds server, I was going to need some coffee. I took a few steps towards the coffee maker, but then quickly turned around and went back to my Flash project when I remembered that I hadn't remembered to remember to grind the beans. There was no time. Hour after agonizing hour passed. My hand was beginning to cramp. I shuddered at the sight of the "Insert Blank Keyframe" option. It wasn't until around 10 minutes later that I completed my masterpiece: An epic, four hour depiction of the history of the etch-a-sketch; animated entirely frame-by-frame, and set to a brilliant score composed by Buddy Holly. I sighed deeply and rubbed my burning eyes. It was time. I navigated my browser straight to the Flash Portal and hovered my cursor above the "Submit" button (Everybody was too distracted by Tom's penis to notice me). Two sore asses and a click later, "The History of the Etch-A-Sketch" appeared. I hit refresh, the site was still up. I waited 10 seconds - Nothing. A minute... still up and running. Was my movie not complex enough? Did it not attract enough outside traffic to cause widespread server crashes? I felt my cheeks burning with remorse and smacked my head down on the keyboard. "I have failed you, Tom," I sobbed. But then I heard it... the sound of a welding gun. Then another. I lifted my head up and the image on the screen came into focus.

True story.

Indeed!

It all makes sense...

Just doing my job... trying to keep you guys informed

cool story man, i do like your take on the crash.
not really what happened, but it made me lmao so fuckin sweet.

It's not a story, and it's not my "take" on the crash. This is what actually happened, bro... times are changing.

Totally legit!

I know! Like, is someone really going to think this is illegitimate? No way... Get real.

^^^^

What are you pointing to!

i knew it

How did you know?

Now that's a hero.
I salute you sir.

Thanks, I really appreciate that :)

This sums it up. thanks friend.

Don't mention it, iz just what i do!

Tom owes you a million thanks and I owe you a million and one.

Start sending in those thanks, you've got a long way to go. E-mail, PM, fax - whatever is convenient for you.

Poor Tom

It's okay, I saved the day :)

I laughed.

This is pretty serious business

Your a true patriot of NG. I salute you good sir.

Thank you, I appreciate your appreciation. Much appreciated!

Thanks for keeping us in the loop, you're a saint.

No problem, Krinkels. I strive to contribute as much as possible to this glorious community.

Makes logic, it needs to be in the Literature History of Newgrounds and Tom Fulp's Biography and some one make a movie.

I agree, this is a very important piece of Newgrounds history right here. If it weren't for me... God knows what may have happened.

Were you given some sort of newgrounds medal?

I received 4 (four) Newgrounds Tank Awards and was declared user of the century.

1 tiem i slappd a bich wit my dik & she ded

dis wus lik tadth

I know you did because I was there. I was there twice.

I expected nothing less from a man who lives in Strongsville!

And I expected nothing less from a woman who lives in the state where my brother was born!

Pretty awesome event there.

Really though, you work with flash? Only a person who has used flash before would know the term "insert keyframe"

I think someone who doesn't work with Flash may have their ways of finding that term, but yeah, I do have the newest version of Flash lol. I want to make something good before I submit anything, though ;) Dat be y I haz zero flashz on newgroundz
