This is just a list I decided to make for.... well, myself really. It's a load of stuff explaining things about BBS rules, flash submission rules, and anything else I could do with remembering in the future (as well as random funny shit I see when i'm trawling through the old posts). I'll be updating this if and when I find more crap to put in it:
Useful things:
All the things you could possibly need to make flashes with.
The NG official topics list (Some threads are outdated, and no longer relevant, but it's mostly still good.)
A collection of in-house rule threads.
What you shouldn't do on the BBS.
More in-depth explanations of some BBS rules.
How to bump old topics without getting banned for it.
What counts as backseat modding.
What is, and isn't, considered 'spam'.
Why you should read the WHOLE thread before posting. (Several people got banned in this example.)
Why you should vote fairly on under judgement flashes.
How not to fuck up your whistle.
More stuff about review flagging.
How to write decent reviews (and ask 'why' if one was deleted)
Yes, there ARE rules for your blog posts.
How the Politics forum works.
Can't find a thread you're after? Give this a try.
Failing the above, try this instead.
Everything an audio artist needs to know: Short version.
Everything an audio artist needs to know: Long version.
The art portal help section.
Why you should ignore it when someone insults you.
What to do if you're sick of a flash submission. (Note: YOUR OWN flash submission!)
Got a bone to pick? Do it here.

Find something stolen? PM Wade.
Funny shit:
The greatest collection of awesomeness. Ever.
Being daft with BBS screenshots.
A very funny photoshop picture. (Poozy doesn't agree, but meh.)
Asking to be a mod is not smart. At all.
Error message generator + Newgrounds = Stupidity.
The dickneck awakens. (Turned out to be a troll, but who cares?)
Yes, you really are this predictable.
I > NY
Got a funny video? Post it here.
The funniest picture thread ever.
Ban sammiches! :D
Jonas = owned.
Feed your inner pirate.
MOD FIGHT!!!
Mod fight round 2: Simpsons style!
Epic Photoshop fail.
Unlock this. NOW!
The most pathetic thing I've ever read.
Fuck you, Rig.
Mod derailings are fun!
How dumb do you have to be to post this?
BAWWWWWWWW!!!
A crap thread, made epic.
Who said nerds can't have a good laugh?
Everyone was a noob once.
The best flash ever.
Banned!
Oh, the irony....
Derailed!
Do I win?
Also, the dumbest idea for a thread i've seen so far is this. That link will change if and when I find anything stupider.
I know there's more out there, I just haven't found them yet. Anyone know of more things I should add to this?
Gagsy
Those are some pretty useful things. If you visit Zerok's profile (maybe you already have), the guy has a great kind of rules thread, that he updates every now and then. Quite a useful way of knowing what's changing with NG.
And keep looking, much more funny shit will happen. That is the beauty of NG.
Happy posting =)
Sheizenhammer
Thanks for the tip! :)
I've already noticed that Zerok seems to be pretty good at explaining stuff like what I'm after. I'll go digging in his blog posts some more.
And, of course, NG-grade silliness is never far away, so I'll have little trouble adding to the 'funny' list. :P
