Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Alright, so I haven't been on here for a couple of years now, and in a random moment typed in newgrounds.com/bbs like I used to.

Then I came across this thread, and when I read the first fifteen replys I got to say I was shocked with how many people said 'take the money'.
I loved Newgrounds in the years, and I still have respect for it because it gives young people space to be creative, complete with an awesome community at that.
If you go for the Venture Capital it would kill newgrounds at what it is. It would become a money making machine, capitalistic at that. I see newgrounds as an idealistic organization. Idealistic doesn't mean profit is not an option. However it does mean you won't go selling your soul for money and take the risk everything that Newgrounds is goes to shame.

Don't do it. Keep it as it is, sure it may stay obscure, it might not be as big as it could have been. But it will be Newgrounds, through and through.

Also, who PM'd you that sick Message?

It was creteus:

Failism: You have two cows. You fail.

Death Note is the only anime I find worth watching, it's very good.

I went to school on my bike and got a flat tire, so I had to walk the rest (about 3 miles). Then when I was at school it turned out my teacher was sick so I had the first two hours off. So I went to the shop and ran into my ex which was very, very unpleasant.
When I get back at school and start the 3rd hour I get my test back from Math and turns out I got a 4/10. But he miscounted points I shoulda had a 5.5 (he forgot to add the points from the last page) but when I went to arguing he apparantly also had a bad day and he wouldn't change my grade.
Then I had to go to the gym field, but I had to walk because my bike had a flat tire. And it was starting to rain. So when I arrived at the gym site, my teacher says gym is canceled becuase of the weather, it had started to rain very hard.
So I walked back to school for the last and sixth hour of the day which was very, very boring. Then I had to walk home through the rain. And now when I get home I just got the most disturbin PM I have ever gotten.
I'll copy-paste it:

Subject: nails
Message: I'd love pix of your toenails that havent been cut in a year....thats cool....mine r like 13 months uncut, and they ARE long dewd....mail me back!!

So wtf now this weirdo is asking for pictures of my toenails!?

I'll make it quick and painless for you:

No you cannot be mod.

I agree, you should either put UOTD back in full glory WITH user pics or just free UOTD of this pain and this misery and delete it alltogether.

Great, now I can ask new question, mkay?

So what would you do if you suddenly got the ability to shape the clouds?

If someone gave you a million dollars, but told you you had to buy 1 million balloons (a dollar each), what would you do with the balloons?

I would sell them for 2$ each.

It has but it sucks...

Stupid Friend Codes.

You have hair on your pen0r?

Albino Squirrel is not in search for a fad, it is in search of true world domination.

In fact Albino Squirrel has a cunning plan, which actually involves a dead fish, crap flavoured noodles (see pic) and yoghurt. Details of the plan will follow, just, not yet.

What's really happening in this picture is some passer by poked it right in the fucking eye with a red stick of some sort. The squirrel was just too stupid to move or defend itself. Now it only has one eye. Your leader is a fake.

Then how do you explain the big ZAP, huh? Is that a sound a red stick makes!? If you're 'oh-look-I'm-real-clever' argument were true, it would've said THUMP.

My leader is as real as the Big Spaghetti Monster which created the Albino Squirrel in the first place!

Now I know what your minds are pondering about, who is this Albino Squirrel you talk about. Well I then can say this to you now, he will conquer the WORLD.

Of course, he still has enemies, many enemies in fact. Amongst those enemies are the Great O RLY Owl and the late Lolcats, but I assure you. Albino Squirrel pwns all.

So now, Newgrounds, the question is, will you serve Albino Squirrel as your master? Above the Lolcats, above the O RLY owls, yes, even above Bedn himself.

Your mission, if you accept, is difficult yet very simple. To help Albino Squirrel in his QUEST FOR WORLD DOMINATION

All hail Albino Squirrel!

Obviously these laptops were stolen, because they were brand new Sony laptops still in the original casing. I am worried that my friend will get caught if he updates Windows or even connects to the internet. Could he be traced somehow? Even if the laptop has never even left the box?

(by the way, when did Newgrounds get the cool new look?)

Dude your friends an idiot for buying illegal stuff, he will be prosecuted and be thrown in jail for 3 years. And you as his compliance will serve 2

Being neutral is like saying you're bi, but you just don't wanna say you're a homo.

Agreed

Man showering twice a day is way too much. I mean, showering just before you go to bed and then directly after you get out of bed? What's the point?

I shower like 3/4 times a week, that's enough for me, showering once a day is ok if you live in like a really warm country and you sweat a lot.

Can you believe all there is, your city, your country, this earth, this universe, is all just a big nothing, for no reason at all?

Favorite thing: New levels and better experience posts ranks.

Least favorite thing: Hmm, well, the Flash Portal is rather big in size, more scrolling than used to be. And that's really a minor thing, I love the redesign!

However, something that is making me pissed is that i lost 2 entire levels in the layout change. I went from a level 9(who was well on his way to lvl 10) to being a level 7. Can anybody link me to a explanation of why my levels were stolen from me?

It's becuase it would take you a shitload of time to get from level 9 to level 10, if I remember correctly, level 9 was at like 500 points and level 10 was at like 1200 points. And it became more worse each level.

With the new levels, you'll level-up more gradually.

Hnm, well, as I'm writing this it really doesn't go any slower at all.

It seems like everyone is having problems now except for me, yay.
