I have received a mystery comment on my news page from one of those Chinese officials and now it is stuck. Bizarre.

I will be more careful in the future to not put NG profits ahead of NG's freedom. This has been a valuable lesson indeed. LOL

I think the loyalty of the fans in the USA severely outweighs the profit that could be made in CHINA.

The fans in the USA are more loyal period.

Besides there are more people in the USA who could actually BUY stuff from newgrounds, because the wealthy in the USA is vastly superior to that in CHINA.

Please don't do the CHINA thing again I love Newgrounds, and I would hate to see it become a part of China's inhumanity.
Thereby forcing me to never return to newgrounds.

... Uh, I havent really kept up on this or anything, so I might be a little confused on this, but here's my opinion anyway.

Im not gonna give you a bunch of crap saying you're anti-American, socialist, greedy, an asshole, dumbass, or anything like that (Hell, maybe you are, but I wouldnt know). Maybe, as some have insinuated, it was an April Fool's joke. Well, assuming it wasnt, I say keeping China out was the right thing to do. Newgrounds is a site for the featuring of art (Even though most of the stuff posted will suck anyway...). A big part of art is expressing yourself. It wouldnt be right to so drastically restrict it. It's sad that China doesnt have these rights, but we cant just give into the demands of such a system. As Im sure you can tell through example, it shits on everything.

Like I said, I really got no idea what's going on here (even more confusing when I consider how I saw a Tiennenmen Square game) but that's what I got to say, going off what I see.

BabyfaceBenny has spoken!

Don't be foolish Tom. Everybody knows Money = Power, Power = Chicks. Therefore delete everything but the store, and expand it! We need worldwide chain stores! :D

Yes, the whole Unblocked-Reblocked in China plot was very well made.
Profile icons, rating icons, actually everything was re-made for the better approval by the Chinese government but in the end the search for additional income from China wasn't quite effective, was it?

Next time let's try uniting with the Martians, their country(if you can call it that way) is red too and I'm sure they'd love playing NG games while plotting their invasion on Earth.

It's amazing just how gullible people can be. I'm sure most of the NG users were thinking "Any idiot can tell this is just an April Fools gag". Well apparently any idiot can't. The responses were hilarious! Great job!

Why is it that companies make it so hard for you to just pay your bills? You'd think they'd want the money a.s.a.p. -me
