I'm just thinking this or just my opinion, it will just go through Tom Fulp's generation, he could possibly give the Administration Honor to his kids or to Wade's kids or to any moderator who knows how to improve the NG community. If they abuse the site, NG will be a goner for good.

The company will last a long time, I think that this site will really boom up in the next couple of years. I'm talking about being a household name like Myspace... but I could be wrong.

If when Tom dies, he passes it onto one of his kids, then even if the kid doesn't add anything more to this site or develop it, it will still be here, even if it is going to look the same for hundreds of years (god help us).

Unless Net Neutrality goes away, then Newgrounds will be here for a while. If Net Neutrality does end up being eliminated, Newgrounds will die along with it.

This site will still be around and running, even when Tom Fulp is too old and tired. How you ask? Well the little FULP is on his way as we speak and will most definitely take over for tom .

As long as Tom lives, Newgrounds will. That's at the very least. Maybe Wade will take over. But that's a scary thought, so nah.

As long as a woman never rules NG, it will remain a beacon to potential flash artists in these /b/ filled days.

A Woman never rules NG? Why not? You don't think a woman can rule NG....Don't get me wrong, i'm a man and i'm proud to have a penis but i'm just intrested why you guys don't want women to rule over NG....

When we do get older and more mature, and have better things to do with our lives, most likely younger people will come along and do their own stuff and take care of the website for us.

Who knows, maybe someday we'll teach our kids this stuff.

Hopefully Stamper will fuck, have a son, and teach him to keep Newgrounds up and running. The process will repeat itself with the Stamper family.

Tom has stated before he's had numerous companies pounding on his door begging him to sell NG to them and he's refused.

Well who knows? It could end when Tom Fulp dies.

The following sentence is true. The previous sentence is false. O_o PARADOX!

I really doubt newgrounds could be sold to any company. I mean, this place is full of success since it's the site that has the best flash portal of all the whole internet.

Also, Newgrounds is fucking immortal like somebody said before ;)

I can imagine that Newgrounds would switch or something but that would really be a tricky question.

Heh, there is Microsoft's silverlight. And in fact, a lot of the websites say that silverlight is better than flash. I haven't researched it that much though, so I'm not sure.

It's nice just to avoid this question, Newgrounds will live on until stated otherwise, you can make predictions when it will shut down but it's better not to think it.

I mean, why would you want this site that you came to love to just suddenly close due to circumstances and reasons by doing so.
