this is war propaganda wtfnoob were heroes

Didn't someone on wtfnoob cost the site owner thousands of dollars in server fees somehow. I want to say it was grog but my memory is a bit hazy.

that was battery and p. sure it happened twice lol

he merged every thread on the server and
I think duplicated it and then merged it with itself or something

better dayz

great message.

and a great flash by koala clock.

the movie(s) that made me join were the:

the clock wars by FU-clock (and they had lots of action, humour, and emotion), the void, lord of the clocks, and ofcourse the OTB, by rube.
he rocks.

im almost 100% sure you were a member before he even made one of those

Ah the memories!

clock crew, dead since 2002

Quote from: PatriotClock;1966361im almost 100% sure you were a member before he even made one of those

actually, i was lurking the CC forums as a quest, and i never posted since 2004-2005.
i was thinking of joining the CC, because i loved the ''clock wars'' by FU-clock, and the void.
but i didnt joined the cc then, because i was too shy, and stupid.
later on,(on early 2007) i started talking with radiotube on NG, because i loved his (first?) movies of the OTB, and we became friends. later on, i told him how much i loved the CC and how i was watching all the CC flashes since 2003, and so he told me ''how come you never joined the clock crew?''
i said ''im too scared'' and he said ''oh come on, it will be fun!''
and i joined.


.....

dont attack radiotube. its not his fault i joined the cc!

B thirsty my friends!

I remember that being my first Clockday cameo, that little .5 seconds right before I get shot in the face.

I have no doubt I made a shitload of embarassing posts back on clockcrew.co.uk, but I remember having fun on that site.

cool. also, was battery such a jerk as pictured in numerous movies, or not?

Which .net was that? Cause I could have sworn the .net I staffed was after 04.

Quote from: Soup Clock;1966505Which .net was that? Cause I could have sworn the .net I staffed was after 04.

bio's .net came right out of the old clockcrew.cc in 2003.

the leekclock .net that spawned out of magic's clockland and eventually became this site was around 2005-6?

I thought you staffed on bio's but idk.

oh, man. a question:

-the events in the movie ''the fall'' are happening in the bio's .net site of 2003, OR in leekclock's 2005 .net?

-what has happened in the time of ''the fall''? was the site down?

-was biological, along with truffle the oldest clocks or not? and truffle was a mod or an admin, like biological, huh?

thank you.

it was bio's .net, but also koalaclock's clockcrew.co.uk. it's complicated.

the "site" was down, I guess you could say.
clockcrew.cc, the 2002 iteration, was the hub for clock activity, and basically the world as we knew it. after some failed attempts to wrangle the community in a satisfactory way and a little drama bomb with pint and frogbag, it went down just before clock day 2003 and did not come back. the guys that were maintaining it, orange, and raspberry, and them, were increasingly disenchanted with the whole shebang, and left for greener pastures, and the rest of us were pretty tore up over it.

biologicalclock created clockcrew.net as a fallout shelter of sorts to regroup, but had no intention of expanding passed a bbs, which resulted in the launch of clockgrounds.com, which zen (aka atomicclock) aimed to be a full website, but was... lapse on moderation, leading to several older members being upset with the directionless and undeveloped new members

parallel to this, koalaclock, formally clockclock, was an up and coming flash star, finding success with bananabeard and his matrix parody "the portal". he started a personal website, as people did back then (blueclock also had voidvision.tk), and, when he found that most of his members were clocks, rekajiggered it into a clockcrew site, which became clockcrew.co.uk. which I can't really talk about because I never joined.

okay, so

also parallel to this, wtfnoob was a bunch of clocks kind of shedding their clock identities and seeking new directions as artists (rccolaclock became victrolaface, macintoshclock became hayburner, smurfberryclock became parabolart, battery became hambeef, grog became crayon parade, onion became viscious, triangle became turtlesoup, arctic was still arctic, he just dropped the clock, spriteremix became stealthisalias, I can't remember blueberry's, I was in as gflarg/Gee You Knit, drunkmagikoopa and stealthturkey never had clock aliases to begin with, I think frogbag was there, and... I want to say leek, magic, banana, and renegade were all in the mix as well? even though nobody liked banana lol. and everybody was developing cool individual sites, like entruder and the crunge and salted slug, and doing weird, abstract shit in flash it was all just generally cool and experimental and interesting) while still having a place to chat and work with their old clock buddies, and also kind of a place to fuck with... everybody? just kind of everybody, I guess. they hacked the locklegion several times, I believe ran dds attacks on the $500 steakhouse and clockgrounds, hacked illwillpress's account, zero bombed movies, upvoted others, flagged one of knox's (a then-popular newgrounds artist) videos for violating copyright infringement (which it totally did), and rather notoriously declared themselves "internet terrorists"... which was a joke, but nobody seemed to get it. though I guess if people got it, there wouldn't have been a need for wtfnoob in the first place. I don't know what they did to clockcrew.co.uk, but it probably wasn't nice. the wtfnoob mentality on the clock crew was that it was a spent concept and they generally wanted people to stop trying to ride the dead horse.

as I'm sure you can imagine though, the fractured state of the crew, combined with wtfnoob's shadow, and the $500 steakhouse's rising star, led to a lot of really sour attitudes from the userbase. if you weren't into wtfnoob's particular brand of comedy, and just wanted to make flash and have a good time, it was really easy to get down on the state of things. AND THEN biological's clockcrew.net went down (clockcrew.net was probably the most respected clock site at the time as well as possible the only newgrounds-related site that wtfnoob generally left alone), I can't for the life of me remember why. but anyway (tl;dr) ppl were really sad and this flash was kind of koala's plea to keep the torch lit.




:facepalm: THIS IS WHY I CAN'T LEARN REFERENCE DATATYPES OR DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS. MY HEAD IS FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH USELESS INFORMATION ABOUT THE CLOCK CREW.

no, biologicalclock is not the oldest clock... although, in terms of his irl age he may have been. I know we joked about it. he was around from fairly early on, if that's what you're asking, but, I'm pretty sure dwarfinator (for instance) has been around longer.
truffle isn't, I don't know why you brought truffle up. I'm fairly certain truffle joined in 2005, and I don't know if he's ever been on staff.

THE BEST CLOCKCREW WEBSITE IS OBJECTIVELY CLOCKGROUNDS.

Fuck you guys, I was 13.

Joined wtfnoob at one point. Was a trigun weeb at the time so my screenname was Vash. They liked me at first and then 3 days later I was perma'd.

GOod times.

On the real, from what I remember wtfnoob didn't do much to clockgrounds other than harass Dodger who was a smod there at the time. I'm pretty sure battery spammed goatse and other shock images a few times but that's not that special. Maybe a few DDoS attacks. After Clockgrounds eventually died, I think clockse.cx or some shit came into play and then the original .co.uk came to fruition shortly thereafter.

I think he was a subforum mod around 05-06 back when we actually needed them. I dont remember which forum in particular.

slurpee, i want you to know....

THANKS for all that information. it must have been difficult to recall/organise all those events in your post.
thanks again.

also:
1. i wasnt meaning ''oldest'' in terms of his ''clock-membership'', i meant his irl age.
there was a rumour amongst clocks, that joked around and people were saying that ''biological clock is irl a billion years old''.

2. as for truffle, i thought he was a mod, because one of my early clock friends told me so, on 2006.
i cant recall who, but he told me that truffle was an epic mod back in the day.

Quote from: NintendoClock;1966521Joined wtfnoob at one point.

what is that? is it a crew like the F-KREW? (the one with mr_artist, ki1o, and all the ''bad'' guys in it?

can i visit/watc those forums? does the F-KREW/wtf noob forums/sites still exist?

I was on WTFNOOB as Artmartyr / AnarchySchoolbus. Quite frankly I was surprised they didn't ban me immediately for being a noob clock.

Isn't that what the wiki is for? Writing this stuff down so you can forget about it?

Quote from: Slurpee;1966520no, biologicalclock is not the oldest clock... although, in terms of his irl age he may have been.

IRL he's the oldest I can think of. Back in 2003 he was in his early thirties.

sweet bread jesus. biological is then the oldest clock ever. irl.

also, lotus is 40 years old, i think.

Oh yeah. I was inspired to join the clock crew in 2004 when I was thirteen. Simon, Koala's flash talent and insatiable thirst to make cartoons inspired and provoked me to learn the tricks of the trade, some very inspiring talent and smart people in the crew, which seriously came in handy as the experience gave me a huge advantage all through animation school into working jobs even now. But anyways Simon is actually a pretty wild and out there person, as natural computer animators typically are. I was friends with Magic and a few people from wtfnoob but being a noob wasn't accepted there. Elitism from the beginning. The Clock Crew aside from the occasional creative pursuit has been a place of nostalgia since 2003, where few "mythical characters" and histories are preserved in some kind of online homage to itself. Nobody but those few rare characters will ever care to understand what the hell this strange and somewhat discomforting (to outsiders) place this is. I suppose there's innumerable other odd corners of the internet simultaneously alike and different this unique collection of weirdos.

this eloquent and strange post has touched my heart, and moved my feelings.
good post sir clock, good post.

(tell me, how was the clock crew when you joined? a relaxed place, or a kinda elitistic place? what was going on in those times?!!?
