Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

it sucked

Brilliant one this year, communism sucks. Imagine if the rice pattys really were like that.

I liked poogrounds the best. When all they did was add a little poo to the header.

actually no i hated it.

It was good that they really went out on a limb and had fun with the site for a day. It was cool in that people were expecting some sort of prank but I doubt people expected it to be taken to the extreme that it did.

Tom should be out on maternity leave more often!

Would have been funnier like if in the chat, everything we posted just appeared as "This post has been submitted for review" etc

I'm glad they started pulling pranks again instead of mild jokes. It was a lot of fun.

Free from communism. Woo-hoo!

Does this mean that chat's coming soon?
I thought ya did good this year, guys, ya did good.

this was a waaaay better joke then the last 2 years. This reminds me of the old days, I liked it.

Only thing I didn't like was the word changes, kept confusing me on which way people are going

I loved it. Really. Communism is awesome.

Just asking though, does somebody have a high quality picture of the 'Honor is it's own reward' banner? I want a new banner for my userpage.

It was funny for the first 1 hour, but then it got annoying...
It was a pain in the eyes!
You also couldn't post and everything was Chinese!!!
You couldn' even play most of the games or see your medals! D:
I'm glad it's over now...

Agreed, I thoroughly enjoyed all the times I got frustrated at what I couldn't do.

Makes me love America even more.

Downside? I reinstalled Maplestory because of it.

I liked it, but we should be able to keep that smiley that was on everyone's posts :O

yeah, but people would have gotten really annoyed, especially the ones who would have made long posts, and then not getting them out. that'd suck hard.

but hughe kudos to Bob and the staff for this years prank, seriously 'twas fucking awesome!

question: what if the energy spent on this would have been spent on the chat?
answer: we'd have the best damn chat in the whole darn intrawebs!!! ;)

I actually missed the entire thing, like EVERYTHING.
DAMN IT TO HELL. You make it sound so freakin' epic... :(

The chat looked pretty much almost complete, aside from the fact that even with worldwide fonts installed I only saw boxes in the chat.

It really couldn't be that hard to get a chat up, right?

You can screenshots of what it was like here.

They should make the Asian Face a new emoticon.

I can smell something; I don't think its freedom.
What does freedom smell like anyway?

It was kind of lame tbh.

It just wasn't original.

As much as I disliked the whole thing after five minutes for various reasons, some of my thoughts got me amused.

I wonder how many Newgrounds users, due to yesterday, believe Mao Zedong (or Tse'tung, or however else it's translated in the different things) is the current Chinese head of government.

I thought it was pretty lame, not being able to post and all.

The design hurt my eyes :(

I wish all you had to do was try twice to post and it'd let you do the normal stuff (17+ flashes too), then it'd be awesome.

It was hirrarious. (as china man would pronounce it.)

It was clever, I liked it.

I hardly remember PooGrounds, does anyone have a screenshot of it?

Dude your banner rules, don't change it now!

Oh and here's a screenshot of the China Government Approved version of Newgrounds incase anyone still needs a wake-up shot reminder! =S

It was alright. Went a bit too much though when it wouldn't let you watch my favorite videos and post on the forums. But the Mao Zedong level icon was funny. The word filters were annoying. 'April Fools joke' would be filtered to be 'China Rules improvement', and 'Tom' would be filtered as 'Chairman Fulp'.

ask and ye shall receive

ZOMG BOB REPLIED TO MY POST I'M AWESOME

Thanks anyway. This year truly was awesome. And it shows redesigns aren't that hard to do, right? RITE?

I chuckled.

I thought it was a pretty good one, for the most part.

Eventually, it got pretty old, though.

Definitely the best one they've done so far.
