On 07/07/2005 11:35AM EST, a small and dumb movie was submitted to Newgrounds by a Newgrounds user using the alias "Alyssa Milano". It all started as a joke, I quickly got emails asking how to join the actual crew that I called the "Milano Crew" (Random name). I fastly noticed a lot of the Newgrounds users liked the random and dumb kind of flash movies, and since I didn't like to spend long time on flash projects, it was looking quite crappy, but the "humour" was kinda taking over it.
In a week I already had 2 portal awards and about 5 flash.
I then sent what was called "The Mighty Ketchup Man" ... surprisingly, Newgrounds loved it, and asked for more, so I did... After Ketchup Man 2, wich got frontpage, about 100 people joined that flash group called "Milano Crew".
Soon enough we raised money, bought our own host, .com domain, made movies, collabs, and reached a nice rank on Newgrounds. Until one day it all started to drop... School has begun... Most of the members stopped doing flash, so other members weren't motivated into doing flash neither... so it kinda... faded away...
The dream we all shared... disapeared...
Now you have a chance... a chance to bring back the random humour on Newgrounds... and to participate in the Official Milano Crew Day on December 3rd... What I'm asking you guys here isn't much. Only doing a small flash to save us... to keep the spirit alive...
If you don't, I can understand... But if you do... Much thanks to you, fellow Newgrounder.
