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

Most people will never really understand what NG is... I don't even think most people here do. I'll try to sum it up with a front page blurb some day.

Here's my attempt (based on my experience over 5 years):

Newgrounds is an open artistic community that is made up of artists AND non-artists, leaning toward "non-artists" and with a huge grey area between the two extremes.

Well said. Here's mine.

Newgrounds is a community based website consisting of animation, games and music created by the community itself.

Newgrounds is a Cock Joke with a music portal to.

HAHAHAH!!!!!!!!

SUBMITTING A SIRTOM FLASH RIGHT NOW!!!

Newgrounds is a metaphysical pool of adventure laying in the mystic mountains of cyberspace, inhabited by contemporary internet subcultures.

Also, lmao arsonism
He should've moved to Australia

Kudos to Rig for catching up all the information about sirtom93. I guess we won't see sir sirtom for a loooong time.

Let's see the good side of this: This site is mentioned in many site news over the internet which members are really careful and responsible enough to call the authorities when there's an emergency.

Cool.

WHat is newgrounds you ask?

Newgrounds is an online community of programmers, designers, gamers, flash artists, and many different groups of online messaging posters. Is has millions of unique users who all work together by voting and reviewing eachothers work. It even has a level system for how many times you have voted.

Because of this envirment, users interact with eachother and collaborate to create various movies and games. Other just chat.

Newgrounds.. is... JESUS CHRIST.

Join us on wednsdays sermon.

I'm giving Kudos to deckheadtottie for this, as he was the initial whistle blower.

Tom, can you give him at least one whistle point for this?

Update: Failed to achieve friends.

That NY Times article is excellent. It's nice to see NG get in the press for something good again.

Rig for users of the year? =D I'M TAKING BETS NOW.

I don't get it, sirtom is such a productive NG author, why would he do such a desperate thing?

Yeah, I think he was joking.

No front page credit for for poor ol' Joe, though. :(

Don't worry Joe, I will always love you, you're the Booster Gold of Newgrounds which makes you infinity awesome.

Also, I loved how the little twat posted a fucking KMFDM video in response to one of your posts. What is with that band and stupid kids trying to attack schools? It really showed that he was a fairy.

Woah, let's not get cocky now. Digg is pretty important.

As long as a school attack is prevented, everything works out fine.

The latest is this NY Times article, which landed on the front page of the Digg Bubble and scored plenty of snarky comments from Diggers who didn't know NG still exists.

NG will long live, tweeter will be nuked, and digg will be ripped apart... by me :)

Joking or not i think Sirtom should of had the common sense to just not say (nor show the pictures he did) of what he may or may not of had planned. This day and age is a scary time and people saying things like that deserve to be taken down. I'm sure there will be people that disagree with what i'm saying. I'm sure there will be people that agree. None the less whats done is done. As Mr Fulp said hopefully he finds the help he needs or he learned a HUGE lesson.

Much luv NG.

I feel sad that he felt he had to go that far. I am glad no one got hurt though. I think he needs some help before it is too late.

Thank God this moron was caught. We don't need any more school killings.

He had like a knife and gas at school though didn't he?

I do hope that nothing similiar like this will never happen again, that Newgrounds wouldn't get any possible bad popularity, because of media twisting stories around. At least this attack was actually reported, because if it wasn't, that would have meant some really bad stuff to Newgrounds.

Just thinking of average media guys reading the article Sirtom started...

But about that digg Tom posted...

That guy seriously doesn't know what he is talking about. Seriously.
Newgrounds > YouTube or any other similiar site that started coming up around 2004

I second that. I've been hearing concerns about the 10th anniversary of the Columbine shooting in April. It's actually pretty scary thinking about it. Someone could just copy-cat it out of the blue, you never know.

Let's live our lives please.

Yet another trend started by Columbine.

NO PITY FOR THE MAJORITY

At first when you said Norfolk, I thought that you ment Virginia. But no, it's Montreal.

I've already said it so many times before, but joking or not Sirtom got what he deserved for doing what he did. If it was a joke he took it way too far, if it wasn't then he certainly fails at burning down a school, damn I could do a better job at it with two sticks and some flint. Most likely he's just all messed in the head and wanted some attention, he should get the help he needs.

Now onto the more pressing issue of the Digg users having a dig (DO HO HO) at Newgrounds. Cheek of them, this is the greatest Animation, Games and Audio site on the internet, they're just a bulletin board of mostly crap links. I guess certain people stopped coming here when it evolved onto more advanced animation and games beyond 'Osama in a blender', but I see that as a good thing.
