Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

NG still exists?

pretty sure sirtom was joking.

Holy bolognese. Scary stuff.

well good job to them cant have people getting attacked at schools thats just plain wrong

"newgrounds.com, which is used for sharing music files and user-created animations"

That's better than social networking site, right? I guess they're getting a little warmer!

Yeah, sirtom93 was a pretty cool guy. Although im not sure what made him do it in the first place :/

You should make a Sirtom Collection.
There's already like a bazillion games made.

When I saw the thread that morning I really thought that it was a joke, but when I heard about the news articles I was shocked that it was real, especially since (bar from some of his recent activity) sirtom seemed like a decent person.

You're right Tom it is bittersweet because one of our user would do such a heinous act but you have to look at the positive and see that several users will not tolerate such an act.

Glass half full; half empty, I guess.

pathetic wannabe anarchist.

fuck him.

I was really shocked as well, seeing as him and I modded the Snubbyland forums for a good year and he seemed pretty level headed person, well, besides his intense obsession with communism.

Shitty games, might I add.

yeah sure....
coz it's like a new history for newgrounds

it surprised me that someone did that. it didn't surprise me that someone threatened to light his school on fire, as i live in colorado, but it shocked me that someone would be so open about it online. i guess people don't really think about what they put online and how it can come back to haunt them.

Psh, we're SO 2004.

Wow. i didn't know Rig was such a stud...

glad nothing happen...
i'm not sure how serious he was about doing that but i don't like the flashes that ppl are doing, is a serious topic here...

I'm surprised the whole incident escalated to this level of infamy, I thought it was just one of those things that gets a newspaper article and that's it.

Go Rig!

btw tom have u ever read this article b4?

It's pretty harsh on NG.

Newgrounds.com is a website where users can share music via a social networking site while watching cartoons.

MOST ASS BACKWARDS DESCRIPTION EVER.

My parents saw that on the news a few days ago and gave me heck for poking around this 'controversial website'. It's sad how our image hasn't improved much with the general public, with stuff like this, the Torture Game 2 controversy and the generally bad press we get.

It's really great how our users stopped an attack on a school, it shows a lot about the greater part of the community here.

My parents saw it as a place where people take threats seriously, not as being on some "controversial site". :P

Same here, I never expected the explosion of media attention. I guess an internet story with a GOOD ending is hard to come by these days.

Go Rig!

And deckheadtottie and Wade! :D

Don't worry Tom, I understand!

I thought the same. Animations should be the sole description of this website not a "technology" website, not a "social networking" site and definitely not "Facebook" as the media blatantly labelled it.

Ah well. Took your time Tom. I thought this was more interesting than the Google logo, harhar.

This explains all the sirtom93 threads and the ensuing "What's with all the sirtom93 threads" threads.

I rather like the idea that shit you post online, and on an online community like this one, can actually have real life consequence. I'm impressed, to be honest. I'll make a note of not posting here when I go psycho.
