Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

If VC is an option, I see two paths towards a decision.

1) Tom Fulp makes a revolutionary decision regarding Newgrounds that follows his vision of the site and the community, not paying much mind to concerns of the individual users and instead forming the future of Newgrounds himself.

2) Tom Fulp reaches out to the community he worked so hard to build up and rigorously makes the fairest decision possible. He polls everyone, takes baby steps, and lets the majority rule.

Honestly I think he's already done option 2, but it's not too late for a controversial taking-matters-into-his-own-hands decision. I kinda hope he does make the decision himself. I don't think that we, as users of his creation, should take his creation and bring it down a path against his gut feeling.

Tom, go with your gut. Don't let anything distract you from what you want Newgrounds to be. You've done an amazing job of running the community so far - I for one trust your judgement more than anyone's.

Everyone else, think about what this means before you say "Oh, why the hell not! Take money from people who want to take what you made!" Yes - It could be the best thing to ever happen to Newgrounds. It could also be the worst.
