have you thought about opening a "sister site" like NG china etc that you could open to CHina yet keep NG integrity intact? Funny thing is when I first saw it it happened to be april 1st and I thought WOW what a great April Fools joke.

LMAO. Some people actually thought it was real?! I mean sure it was convincing and at first i was like "..seriously?" But then it just seemed fishy and i remembered the date.

What I don't get is how people can still not realise that it was an April Fool's joke after sixteen pages of it being explicitly stated that it was an April Fool's joke.

Do some people really think that Tom was seriously considering shutting down the Flash Portal?

Also, I'm standing up for any European/non-US NGers against the assumption that free speech is a uniquely American concept, as is definately the impression from those responses. Not that anyone in their right minds would take them seriously. :/

I'm still laughing my ass off at the user responses. I seriously can't imagine anyone stupid enough to have taken that day seriously, especially on a site like this. It kinda freaks me out though, so many stupid people....and so passionate about free speech. In China i'm guessing that April Fool's joke is a reality, and over a billion people live with it. Tom's the shit.

Grrz, China can be depressin. But as I am quarter Vietnamese and Chinese, and half English, I would referr that China be very cold. They shouldn't block games like that. It wuz gd, but the games word deletion and video games word deletion did definatly not do the trick. Man.
I'm so glad its gone. YEY!

Darn, LOTTA change.

well i'm glad you decided not to tae out what made newgrounds newgrounds so the Chinese goverment would be happy. we should be thankful as Americans to have freedom of speech, but there's nothing wrong with making a little extra cash, or a lot extra cash.

hey, you should make a Newgrounds: China Edition. then everyone wins

That was a great job Tom and everyone else who had a hand in it. Although it was very clever, I still can't believe people fell for it and got so pissed off as they did. Come on guys, are you that gullible? As big of a change as this might have been, I think we would have gotten some advanced warning, and he certainly wouldn't have waited until April 1st to unveil it.

I like how some of those messages sent to Tom seemed like they were actually thinking the April's Fools joke was a real thing. Haha.

Also it felt awesome to have the moderator aura for just one day!
