Okay, so on one of the under judgement submissions I voted (to pass) on today, a message appeared, which I didnt realize was there until I switched pages.

It started out something like, "Congradulations, your votes have..." but I have no idea what the rest of it was. At least two more sentances I think. I tried to go to the page again, but of course I couldnt.

I know it's a silly thing to be concerned over, but it just bothers me that I dont know what it said now... so if anyone has any thoughts, it would be greatly appreciated.

I know... I'm just that lame. Meh, what's a girl to do.

Oh, btw, join some collabs, www.ng-collabs.com

So I've returned.. and stuff. This is what I did for the most part...

-went to Seaworld, saw all three Shamus
-saw a ton of movies including the Dark Knight in Imax and Wall-E
-helped my step-sister and step-brother in law move into their new home
-toured San Antonio's Alamo and Riverwalk
-Ate at a Texan steakhouse.. but no steak.. dont like steak...
-Hid in a closet to avoid being squashed by the tornadoes (2 total) produced by huricanne Dolly. One tornado hit Seaworld. I was joking, that after the tornadoes went by and we were safe, "Headline! Shamu in backyard, new family pet?"

And now that I'm back, I'm hiding in a closet again since there's nasty storms moving through the region with the potential for tornadoes. Golf ball size hail... as long as it doesnt damage my car, I'm all good :3

Check out www.ng-collabs.com ... it's cool and stuff.

Going away for a week... to Texas... wish me luck ;D

In the meantime, why not check out www.ng-collabs.com ? It's a great way to alleviate bordom.

Bored? Need something to do? Well then why not come over to Newgrounds Collabs and join a collab or two! There are currently running collabs in need of animators and would love to have you on their team!

Addressing the current collab innactivity on Newgrounds Collabs,

It appears that collabs are being started, but no other members are joining, it seems there is still the interest to collaborate here, but only in one's own collab.
To prevent this vicious cycle, I have a proposition.

I will assist with, or host your ENTIRE collab on the following terms...
- You create a part yourself
- You gather the necessary members
- I recieve proper credits on submission

I will personally work with you to refine your collab. I will put everything together, help cut your audio (if applicable), even help you if you need an idea to start. Basically, everything but animate your part and gather your other collaborators, I'll be the behind the scenes sweatshop worker ;D

If all you need is some assistance, I'd be more than willing to help in pointing you in the right direction with your collab as well!

This could be beneficial to those of you who do not meet the requirements to post a collab on the BBS!

Good luck, and I hope you take advantage of this golden opportunity!

Newgrounds Collabs is up and running again, but it seems that both of our redirects (ngcollabs.com and ngcollabs.net) have expired. The site is functional though, and collabs ARE still running. You will have to use http://ngcollabs.joeynukes.com for the time being instead.

I appologize for the inconvenience.

----------

For those of you unfamiliar with Newgrounds Collabs, it is a site that was developed for the particular reason of making collabs without any restrictions. You dont need a batting adverage, or even have a submission in the portal. You could be a nobody about to be a somebody!

Newgrounds Collabs (aka, NGC) has a great community as well. If you arent really an animator, you could always go just to hang out and chat. There are areas for programming, graphics, and more. If you havent checked it out yet, NGC is a great site for any aspiring animator!

Go ahead and stop by. Taking a look wont hurt ;)
