Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

This of course means that browsing the BBS and visiting NG in general are now actually an option - on dial-up the pages were stopping halfway through loading. How frequently I'll be on NG of course depends on how much time I can spare around the full time job as game dev.

It's good to see that some of the Flash forum regs are still active, haven't visited General yet but probably will work my way up to some level of regular visiting. I will be trying to help out in the Flash forum, although I still haven't got me head around AS3 yet (don't need it for work, still on AS2). Will also hopefully be hanging out occasionally in Wi/Ht and Audio.

In answer to vague rumours, yes, I have also had some pretty major personal issues over the past year, but don't really think that they need to be described on NG. I'm coping.

I would like to get some games made for public release too but it's tricky finding time for that outside of the job and various other finger pies.

Many thanks to all those that have left notes saying I've been missed, and also a HUGE lump of gratitude to ramagi for depositing on my behalf for over a year, a LOT longer than was originally intended.

See you around.

Oh gawd, you still here? ;)

Feb. 9, 2009 | 10:39 AM MaestroRage says:

So glad to hear it! Looking forward to watching you bury your face in your palms as you walk through Audio Forum ;D!!!

Most of it is my fault of course.

Feb. 9, 2009 | 8:24 PM Denvish responds:

I KEEEL YOOOOOOOOOOO

"...and various other finger pies."

That sounds like you've been working on making pies shaped like fingers. Anyway it's good that you're (almost) back.

Feb. 9, 2009 | 8:24 PM Denvish responds:

Check yourself for tetanus

Feb. 9, 2009 | 9:01 PM Luis says:

cool, a programmer mod that might actually create games. thats unheard of.

no seriously, none of them do anything.

Feb. 10, 2009 | 4:59 AM Denvish responds:

That's what I heard about artists :S

Where???

Feb. 10, 2009 | 3:16 AM Aci6 says:

Just out curiosity, why did you and Ramagi BOTH stop on 100,000 B/P points for a while?

Feb. 10, 2009 | 5:03 AM Denvish responds:

Both of us intended to stay on the landmark, but have slipped up while depositing a few times. I did ask Tom to knock me down to 100k ages ago but I think he has more important things to be dealing with

Feb. 10, 2009 | 4:08 AM idle says:

This kind of news makes me happy. Even though I am not on very much myself these days, I hope to see you lurking in the halls near the lockers from time to time ;)

Feb. 10, 2009 | 5:05 AM Denvish responds:

I have missed this den of iniquity a lot, but it just hasn't been an option to come on - to load a page would take 5 or 6 attempts, it'd just stop loading halfway through. Now I finally have a decent conn, I'll definitely be around a bit, mostly in the Flash forum

Feb. 10, 2009 | 7:47 AM ReNaeNae says:

This is fantastic news!!! Welcome back!! :D

Feb. 10, 2009 | 9:37 AM Denvish responds:

Why thank you kind sir

Feb. 10, 2009 | 9:24 AM liaaaam says:

I haven't heard any rumours but hope everything is well... glad you're back anyhoo :)

Feb. 10, 2009 | 9:38 AM Denvish responds:

No comment :)
And it's good to be back

Feb. 10, 2009 | 9:54 AM Kevin says:

Woah, haven't seen your type 'round this neck of the woods for a while now.

I mean, welcome back.

Feb. 10, 2009 | 2:13 PM Evark says:

I just had to have a Comcast technician replace our modem, so I hear frustrating NG load times (despite my downtime being basically 48 hours). Good to have you backish, Denvish.

Feb. 10, 2009 | 8:01 PM Denvish responds:

Yarrrrrr Mr Evark, shiver me timbers and kill this fuckin parrot on me shoulder, sick of hearin' it goin'' on abou''' a blin'''''' man''''''s chest of gol''''''''''''. Arrrrrrr

Or something.

Feb. 10, 2009 | 2:44 PM ZombieKangaroo says:

Good to see you back on NG man, it'd be awesome to see any games you can come up with uploaded :)

Feb. 10, 2009 | 8:02 PM Denvish responds:

Hi there

Feb. 10, 2009 | 7:27 PM MichaelHurst says:

I've been dreaming of this day since never.

Welcome back.

Feb. 10, 2009 | 8:04 PM Denvish responds:

Yeah dreaming is BAD because it steals your soul. Also, I'll see your welcome and raise you two rabbits. If you roll snake eyes, you're out.

Feb. 10, 2009 | 8:05 PM Denvish says:

Insane, you're all insane

Feb. 10, 2009 | 8:06 PM Denvish says:

I kind of thought that actually. It used to be such an incredible number but now a few people have passed you both. Thanks for answering.

Feb. 12, 2009 | 4:27 PM Denvish responds:

Yeah, never saw much point going beyond the 100k. Don't really know what Afro's target is. Hard to believe I still hold the top blam ranking :S

It's great to see another great man, and developer come back to say hello occasionally. You're a programming God in my eyes, and I hope your job treats you well. :P

Feb. 20, 2009 | 12:48 PM Denvish responds:

No it beats me with a big stick every day

Finally Rick Astley's account on NG is revealed

Feb. 24, 2009 | 5:25 AM yhar says:

I remember you (well, who doesn't). You were the first NGer that I 'looked up' to, and you lived near me, Birmingham right? ALSO, I remember you showed pictures of you in porthleven (cornwall), where I'd been :P

I think that was you, anyway. Early 2006, good times.

Feb. 25, 2009 | 6:05 AM Denvish responds:

Yeah, Brum and Porthleven is me all right. Cornwall's too expensive these days, thus the move in a welsh direction. In many ways it's less spoilt out here than it is in the West Country

"Quack" is a groundbreaking way of ending a newspost like that.

He's "Goin' Down to Newgrounds" once again. Sweet.

Feb. 25, 2009 | 6:09 AM Denvish responds:

Hai Gooch. No capital Q though :)

About time I threw another silly song together for the AP really

Feb. 25, 2009 | 11:19 AM MrSaint says:

Congrats with your ADSL!

Also thanks for explaining me the issue wth corrupted .fla files.

Feb. 25, 2009 | 1:29 PM Denvish responds:

Thanks, and no worries. It's a good idea to get into the habit of saving to a different filename regularly, as I've learnt through the wonderful experience of Flash crashing and losing 6+ hours' work. Several times.

Feb. 25, 2009 | 6:46 PM zrb says:

Woo I finally get to know who the almighty Denvish is (as far as internet goes anyways) !
See you around the BBS this summer :P

Oh, my God. It's the legend himself! I never thought I'd be around to see you coming (somewhat) back! I can now sit back, relax, and let the king do his work. Though I never knew you personally (or at all, really), I've been waiting for the day the mythical being known as Denvish to come back.

Congratulations, and welcome back!

Mar. 3, 2009 | 8:33 AM Denvish responds:

Erm, I hate to burst your bubble but I'm not a legend, king or mythical being. I'm more like a banana that's been rotting in the fruit bowl for a couple of months.

Mar. 5, 2009 | 6:11 AM SweetSkater says:

Hey Denvish, glad to see your back (finally).
Don't know if you know? I'm the guy that has put your epic uploader to good practise (spamtheweb/ul). It's just getting into that phase, you know, where people are starting to upload illegal content! Yaaaaaaaaay! *sarcasm*.

Do you use an IM?

Mar. 5, 2009 | 10:59 AM Denvish responds:

Yeah, I was reading through our email exchanges on setting that up the other day. Good to see the site is still up and running. Only IM I use is GTalk. Meow.

glad to see that daddie's back - and yes I am that bored that I am actually making this post here where you will most likely not see it for a month ;)
