I'm back

[SpudClock]

For those of you who don't know me (which is probably most of you), the name's SpudClock. I originally joined back in the glory days of the original .cc site in 2002. I was a pretty active member all throughout the life of the site until that fateful day in the summer of 2003 when Pintey pretty much destroyed the site (it had become a total joke, I don't blame him and from what I heard Orange gave him the greenlight). I hung around WTFnoob for a while, but eventually I just lost interest completely as it just wasn't the same.

Flash forward eleven years and these days, much like when I first joined, I have very little going on as I lost my job recently. I was on some other message board and someone mentioned illwillpress (still a talentless hack) and it made me think of my long-lost, long-distance old friends. I was surprised to see someone revived this site, when I googled ClockCrew I was expecting to find some crappy BBS like those god-awful sites a few of the old members tried to make after this place crashed and burned. It even looks like the old site, I'm impressed. I see Durian's still here, any other old members still hanging around? It's been too long. And for those of you that don't know me, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Gasp, the real SpudClock

[RenegadeClock]

Welcome back. A few old people are still around, but not many.

[MelloYelloClock]

Welcome home.

[SpudClock]

Nice to meet you fellas. How long has the old site been back anyway? I checked in on the crew in like 2007 or 2008 maybe but it wasn't like this. It was a different site and it seemed like Leek was running it. Who runs the show here now? Seems like there must be at least one old timer that helped make this place. There's no way a new member could've just guessed what the old site looked like.

I also see a lot of other old members stopped in to say hi and then vanished again. It's a shame they didn't stick around for a little bit, we could get a sweet reunion going if they all came back around the same time. How does everyone here communicate these days? Does the CC still have a chatroom or does everyone here seriously still use AIM? I haven't used that since like 2007.

EDIT: Cool beans, just noticed Piney's still around. And he still has that same old sig, amazing. I wish I still had the same computer from back then, so much history just sitting in some landfill. I wanna get Flash again but I'm scared I'm gonna suck at it now. Last time I used it I was using Flash 4 and I don't even have a computer anymore, I'm on a Samsung tablet.

[MelloYelloClock]

We use AIM still, yes.

we havent changed domains since like 2006 but clockradio brought back a bunch of old skins. i assume ur talking about agent005 being the "old site" skin

renegade and poptart captain this sinking ship now. patriot likes to pretend hes boss but u dont have to listen to him

yep aim is the popular option but a few of us still use irc. the server is irc.primebutt.net and channel is #ivy if ur interested

and if you wanna join aim blast just gimme your username and ill add you

illwillpress (still a talentless hack)

hahahaha

hi,I remember you, but, I don't think, we were that close
I was geeyouknit in wtfnoob

the clock crew is a significantly different beast from what it was, as you might expect from a ten year gap and a low number of members closing that gap. I mean we're still a bunch of goofs making flash movies, but everything's a lot more low key, because, newgrounds is kind of dying, and nobody wants to talk about it. mostly we just shoot the shit
also, there's another site redesign on the way, since this one hasn't been maintained for a while and is kind of falling apart

[BilliardBall10]

welcome back, mr. spud clock!

things in the CC have been quiet during the 2006-2007 era, and indeed leek was ruling with a fair hand.
nowadays, after so many years, renegade, pop-tart, iron and patriot run the site with a fair hand as well.

also yes, im happy to say, that i've seen many old legendary clocks like melloyello,magic(once),pint and SBC posting here every now and then.
thankfully melloyello sticked around, and his movies rock.

i would like to be friends with you mr. spud clock. but i have to ask you:
what is a spud?

I haven't played around with the skins yet, but if there's one that makes it look even more like the original, I'll definately check it out. My old AIM name was MyNamesN1ck, but I'll probably have to make a new one cos I doubt I'll remember the password. I hate to sound like such an old-timer, but what's AIM blast?

I was Splendid on WTFnoob. Your name sounds vaguely familiar, but I didn't stick around WTFnoob for too long. Onion was always talking about how we were moving forward and being done with the CC but then all he ever wanted to do was attack it. WTFnoob was actually pretty pathetic aside from when we jacked illwillpress' account and uploaded that fake Foamy movie. Someone was talking about it in the Cracked forums and it's actually what inspired me to come back here. I told people there I was part of the group that did that and a bunch of them were giving me shit for it so I said fuck it I'll go to a forum where people actually have taste. I can't believe that dumbass dickbag still makes movies and still actually has fans.

i would like to be friends with you mr. spud clock. but i have to ask you:
what is a spud?

I was poking around and did notice Pint was here. I saw Burrito, Flame and Dingleberry were all here as well but it looks like they left again as soon as they showed up. Durian told me Soup's not gone for good though and that he stops by every now and then. I also saw DWARFINATOR on a thread somewhere. I saw SBC too but c'mon, that can't be the real Strawberry, he never wanted anything to do with the CC.

Spud is another word for potato. I originally joined as GlockClock in April 2002. I wanted to change my name when I realized how stupid that was, but by that time most of the good fruits and veggies were taken, many of them by people who signed up, posted once or twice and never stuck around, PotatoClock being one of them. I really wanted to be a fruit or veggie. Some of my friends in high school started calling me Spudnick and that's when the idea came to me. Not only was a good veggie character, but it had a bit of a personal touch to it as well. Some people have used my .fla in movies and credited it as PotatoClock, but it's really supposed to be Spud. There was never really a PotatoClock.

I like your character by the way. 8BallClock was a good friend of mine back then and 9Ball was actually my cousin, though he was better known as IrnBruClock and was not particularly well liked. Unfortunately IrnBru died in Virginia in a car accident when he was 18. R.I.P.

We have a symbolic SBC account on the forums for admin purposes, but Coolboyman is the real StrawberryClock, and he stops by every once in awhile. He even made a part for our Christmas collab.

[NintendrCkolc]

There should be an Alumni section of the site or something. That way when old clocks come back they can look and see what all their old friends are doing these days.

Like a little mini bio under each clock and "where they are now."

this is a good idea

I've actually been curious about which clocks are actually dead.

1. ok, first of all, AIM blast is a group-chat inside AIM, and everyone can join, but you must be accepted/invited by a chat mod.
i've been accepted and kicked out of there many times.

2. also: what was the WTFnoob forums like? does the old forum/site still exist?
all i know was that WTFnoob was the ''castle'' of the anti-clocks, and it had ki1o, mr_artist, butcher, and many more clock-haters in its ranks, trying to battle the ever-growing clock fandom.
only mr_artist eventually grew out of the ''clock hate'' spirit, and called the others to focus ONLY on protecting newgrounds from crappy flash movies instead of hating a single usergroup.

3. you was posting in the cracked.com forums? i am a member there! whats your name, and why did people treated you badly for saying that you and WTFnoob fought against illwillpress? (i mean illwillpress IS a talentless hack).

4. thanks for your kind words. i think you should be clock-crew's potato-clock, since afterall, the original barely existed in the site.
i said the same for the name-dispute of blob clock, but i eventually suggested to the (new) blob clock to rename himself into ditto clock, or blueblob clock.

also, im very sad for your loss. RIP.

5. actually, SBC is real, and he visits the forums once in a while! his name is coolboyman, (like renegade said above), and he even took part in our collabs for the last 2 years!!!!
we can say that we were in a few collabs with SBC himself! isnt that magnificent?!

this thought still haunts me sometimes.

[SpudClock]

I've actually been curious about which clocks are actually dead.

There was over one thousand of us at one point, and most of us were in our early teens. Statistically speaking, IrnBru can't be the only one that died. He did a lot of risky stuff as I'm sure a lot of us did as we got into our late teens/early twenties. His parents never actually confirmed it, but we all pretty much know it was a drunk driving thing. Hopefully MountainDewClock's still alive, if not those two are probably arguing in hell right now.

For someone who claims to have been around since 2002, you are severely misinformed.

It's like you enjoy scaring away people who come back.

this thought still haunts me sometimes.

1. I'll have to download AIM and get on that. I think I actually do remember the MyNamesN1ck password, unless RedPlum hacked it. I had 2 old screen names back in the day and one day Tangie pointed out that RedPlum was using them somehow.

2. When the old clockcrew.cc went down the crew pretty much split into three factions. Most just said fuck it and were never  heard from again. Onion and Bio both made new sites and invited people to their new forums. Bio tried to keep the ClockCrew going, but his site mostly attracted the annoying, prepubescent type members that ruined the crew in the first place (KabuuClock for example, first popped up on Bio's site). Onion promised his site would be something fresh and new, and it mostly attracted what was left of the older members ready to start a new chapter. Naturally I went with Onion's group, but it quickly deteriorated into just a group of angry ex clocks attacking Bio's site. I think most of them didn't want to admit that they were angry that the CC would never be what it once was, and rather than accepting that and moving on (which is what we were told we were gonna do when the group formed), they just attacked Bio's site thinking it was somehow accomplishing something. For a brief period we did, and that's when we scored what was probably WTFnoob's only significant victory. Onion got into illwillpress' account (by guessing the password, he claims we hacked it but we didn't) and uploaded that fake Foamy episode with the subliminal gay porn and Foamy killing himself. We showed Wade that Foamy's dumbass fans will just vote 5 on anything that dude uploads and in turn the voting system was changed so it wasn't just about batting averages anymore. After that it seemed like it was deteriorating into nothing and me and Chibi/Battery both went on a spampage and got banned to be sure we would never be a part of that again. WTFnoob was more a group of ex-clocks than an anti-clock group, it's membership consisting of me, Onion, Chibi, Grog, Frogbag, Triangle, Mac, Marijuana and Shasta. I don't know who told you that story but ki1o was never a part of it, we never would have let him join and I've never even heard of those other guys. And I wouldn't call the clock fandom ever-growing, it pretty much peaked in 2002.

3. I was ottav on cracked. It was actually in the comments section on that article about trolling where I got flamed for it. I was agreeing with the author about how trolling was a much more creative thing ten years ago and mentioned the illwillpress story and referred to it as a great thing (I meant as far as trolling goes, it's not like I brag about it in real life). Some douche replied "That's what you call great things?" sarcastically and I got a bunch of thumbs down for my comment (more than I've ever seen before). That was the last time I commented on anything on cracked, I thought people there had good taste but if Foamy fans inhabit that place I don't know what to think of it anymore.

4. I prefer Spud, since it kinda incorporates my real life nickname. At one point Grapes actually purged all the non-active accounts from the site and I had the option. I briefly changed it to Potato but everyone had come to know me as Spud so I changed it back. I also tried to change it to Cherry one time, thinking the old one was gone but as soon as I did he ended up coming back to bitch about me stealing his name (though he had no problem stealing my cherry avatar after I changed back).

5. I actually was still around when CoolBoyMan came out as StrawberryClock. I just didn't think the SBC account here was actually him. When he first admitted it he didn't seem too interested in being a part of the CC. Glad to see he came around though.
