I see nothing wrong with Egoraptor, Catoblepas or Emily Youcis submitting their material. It doesn't mean it's the reason why NG is going downhill...
IF Newgrounds was going Downhill, which it is not and never has been, then first of all you both should discuss it on another topic- likewise myself. (now I will ignore what I just said)
Second of all! NG has never been better and continues to rise. Just because you don't like the Front Page and claim that all it's flashes are way boring and unoriginal doesn't mean shit. Why? Because for the most part Front Page brings in more viewers than it detracts from the site. The reason! The viewers that enjoy FP the most aren't like us! They don't care to watch anything else exept what is on the front page and THEY LOVE IT. They come and go and maybe leave a quick review that says something like "Woot 10! This rocks"
Us users that CARE to build up our experience AND CARE about animation and art will of course not find greatness in most of the same shit those people find funny. By that I mean stupid mario flashes with a couple lame jokes in them.
That's just the way things work unfortunately and if we need to satisfy our lust for original "good" flash works then we need to sift through portal all day looking for the real up and comers, voting fairly and reviewing to help others get better. That is our DUTY as NG lovers anyway.
Third of all. Tom Fulp gave out around 30 Wacom tablets, for free, to some people that PMed him and asked nicely. I DOUBT HE COULD DO THAT IF HIS BELOVED SITE WAS GOING DOWNHILL! He did that because he wants more people to make original flashes and post them on here to keep viewers coming back.
Lastly! You guys say stuff on FP is unoriginal and lame WELL GO MAKE YOUR OWN FLASH! GET A FAN BASE! GET A 1,000,000+ VIEWS!
IT'S EASY RIGHT?! JUST MAKE A DATING SIM! OR AN UNORIGINAL BOGUS LAME ASS FLASH THAT MAKES KIDS LAUGH!
If either of you did do that you would realize how much effort truly is behind the work of those that consistently make Front Page. And if you were smarter you wouldn't care anyways because NG is making more money without crusaders against Ego and others like yourselves.
I know I said lastly already but this is real important! I'd like to point out that spam, although stupid, is not harming anybody. Whenever it becomes a "problem" the NG Staff handles it. If you guys just ignore those dumbasses in DD and FF then you'll be fine. I promise you nothing will be different if they are here or not EXCEPT THat less people will be STUPID ASS WHINERS ABOUT THEM BEING HERE! The DD and groups like them are just doing all that lame flash stuff cause to them it's fun, they want you all to bitch at them! AND YOU ALL DO! I don't get it! Just leave them alone TAKE A WALK!! Their flash submissions don't STOP OTHERS from submitting there hard work.
ALL CANADIANS FUCK THEIR DADS!! .... lol wrong conversation I know.. I just had to say that because that kills me!
Sincerly
FUCKING GO TAKE A WALK!
