Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

The way I see it, there are two main concerns I have for both options:

1) For flying solo: Without the extra money the pace Newgrounds grows/declines is as a snail's pace.
Summary: Don't take the money, but retain everything that Newgrounds is without much risk.

2) For the VC: If you decide to take the money, it COULD make the sight even more awesome, but if it does backfire, everything, including the unique vision and/or worse the site itself, could be lost thanks to corporate shenanigans.
Summary: Take the money and keep the Newgrounds face, but become an android on the inside.

Conclusion: Either way there will always be risks. If the site is consistent on its success, or if it fails, at least you maintain what you stand for as a site.

Vote: Do not take the money!

This is my first post in the Photoshop thread, but I have used the program on and off since september of last year. This is probably one of my best pictures yet.
