Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I was just wondering. If NG is blocked in China, how can it then be that F-777 can be here on NG when he lives in China...

People actually bought that shit??
Jeez, the world is really filled with stupid animals, and so much of them has computers...

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

I love how stupid people are XD did they not realize it was April Fool's day? lolololol

uhm i forgot to say this yesterday:
dude your forgot to say april fools

lmfao

W00t! I just realised that pico day is my gf birthday! =-O

Well, what did you expect? It's China. You can't fart there without gettin run over by a tank. Oh well, it was a nice try tryin to bring the funny to other people around the world, Tom.

this was sent after april fools so if its ment be april fools joke then did'ent do a good job. but nice try :)

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 want the chinese ppl back...i want them so much
lovely chinese ppl

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!

Ha ha, it had me going for all of about ohh, 10 seconds when I started seing content had been blocked and then I remembered the date.

Can't believe some people fell for it so bad...

Funny stuff, Tim.

What, the fact that newgrounds would become a blank site that can't be updated by other users, can't view 90% of anything already submitted, can't listen to about any of the music, can't post on any forums or have any chat that won't take 4 hours to see what the other person is typing, no rights except if your one of the site manager's crew, and can only sell very limited products due to the immense amount of censoring in China?

If you like that, what are you doing on newgrounds?

i thought the Chinese changes where hilarious. it was TOTALLY something i would see Newgrounds doing. i personally saw it as a joke, to stick to these bizarre standards for a day for a laugh, and nothing else. i didn't see it as selling out, or see it as hindering free speech in some kind of chauvinist conspiracy plot. it was just funny to have up for a day...and kind of to me made a statement about free speech. the site would like to be viewable in China, but if it has to be censored and changed to be so, is the site really achieving anything in being there? apparently not. and the good choice in my opinion of not sticking to there standards.

lol, it was just an april fools joke..

Communism= Epic Fail

China= Epic Fail

thats Epic Fail to the second power.

I agree with the guys who wanna defend freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is probably the most important thing on the Internet, so this last news is a good news.

Hope NG will stay the same for long.

well, I'd like the mods to be less several, but the portal is awesome...

Good choice! The portal is unique. No one else have one!

Well maybe that will happen maybe it won`t. All I can say is "Thank God were back to normal"

i kinda feel ashamed after that one, i actually did not notice that when newgrounds was in a communist state, i forgot it was april fools day when that happened and appreciated how the new terms of games were called "physical exercises" it was a great april fools joke to people which got it even though i didn't

So, this China thing about NG being re-blocked. Is it an April Fools' joke or something really serious?

He should have agreed to delete their accounts.

Oh thank GOD!

I was seriously gonna file a complaint here that could've caused a huge political stink here, so ya, thanks for getting us re-blocked in China again. (meant to be taken seriously, not sarcastically.)

And yeah, next time you wanna do something like this, how about giving us fair warning next time? That way we can either yell 'yay' or 'nay'.

LET FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION BE THE SOLE LAWS OF NEWGROUNDS!

LOL then it was even better for you anyways ha.

~X~

screw china

I wonder if it crossed any one of those people's minds that it was, in fact, April first.

If you can make such a great profit off of China. Then why not make a second Newgrounds specificaly designed for Chinese viewing pleasure? I think it would be a great idea.

Good FUCKING joke man!! I was a silent bystander during the whole thing, but I remember trying to watch Buzz Bunny and some of the other racy flashes, and being very upset that they were no longer acceptable on the site. Man, that whole day no one got me for April Fools, but you sure did... HAHAHA. Glad to see that everything is back to normal.
