The answer is Yes.

Reason : Spamming crews going too far. First its just spam now its taking awards from more deserving artists. Today i had the honest feeling that newgrounds is failing us to complie. When i saw Duck Divisons flashes at number 3,4, and 5 i gasped. Newgrounds is not helping us to get rid of these ruthless computer nazi's and they will just keep making accounts and it will never end.

Cause: Spam groups getting ruthless

Effect: Slowly but surely newgrounds will be a big flood of spam and everyone will quit because the duck division will have taken awards from rightful artist.

Who wants to go to a website flooded with spam. Newgrounds cannot turn into another 4chan!

Newgrounds has always been like this, however as a regular user you become more aware of it. If you're just passing through - which is what the majority of newgrounds traffic is - then you rarely notice it.

Right. So every day in 95-08 i would just walk into newgrounds and find Kitty Krew or Faggot Federation flashes on 3rd place?

Newgrounds has always been this way, you just notice it the longer you're here. Newgrounds is nowhere near dying, it's just the flash portal is being abused.

Spam submissions get deleted by admins, so I don't see what you're complaining about.

The second part about sums it up. Newgrounds is fine, the flash portal just has a bunch of retards going through it. Newgrounds is fine.

I'm so confused, I lose arguments with myself.

Ok you guys dont seem to be getting my point. In youtube you dont win awards or shit. In newgrounds awards are being TAKEN from artists that deserve it. To boot the 3rd 4th and 5th place today since duck division took the medals and almost everything all the scores of 3rd 4th and 5th place were lowered by a huge amount.

Also it's not like the portal is just FILLED with it. There are usually five, maybe ten at most spam submissions. I can't understand how fucking retarded you'd need to be to literally make a thread about something so insignificant. Man I sure hope I got trolled and that OP isn't that stupid...

You know what's REALLY killing newgrounds? People like YOU! People who give even more attention to said "spammers"!

Sigh... I guess White knighting will always be a disease NG can't cure from.

Well, in the 3 years I've been here, Newgrounds has done nothing but improve. Tom has added even more things to an already brilliant website and added another 30 levels, so no, it's not dying, if anything, it's growing.

Newgrounds is actually getting better. More artists have access to better programs to animate and produce higher quality submissions to NG. Sure there are going to be dicks here, but it's the same anywhere, on or off the internet. Each day you can view tons of high quality flashes that are submitted, much unlike a few years ago where there would only be a few submissions a day that would break 3.50. The NG staff are constantly working on updating content and giving its users new shit to do. We just got the art portal which is awesome.

The only thing that's changing here is NG is getting bigger, so the dickhead ratio is going up obviously. The more popular NG gets, the more users sign up, and thus the more spam we get. But along with that, the more high quality content gets submitted.

NG's doing great right now.

It will pass in time. Remember the "hitler around the world in 80 days" series? It sucked but always got good ratings somehow and then it stopped.

You say that like this hasn't already been happening since like, the 90's.

Yes you correct; to a certain extent. Newgrounds is dying. However the context in which it is dying you have missed. It is apparent that the site that YOU want as Newgrounds is dying or is already dead. The site that I am used to is alive as ever and growing.

Please send me a private message if you saw and liked my sig.

Ng hasn't changed since 06.

Really, it hasn't.

Why are you so focused on the negative? Do you see how many high quality flashes are submitted on a daily basis? Just vote 0 and move on or ignore it all together, it's people like you who slowly kill NG because you're drawing even more attention to the spam crews and they basically shit happiness when they see a thread about their spam. If you show them no attention, they'll get bored in quit. Take a hint and shut the fuck up.

Also, it was a slow day. Even though they got three daily awards, the scores were only about 3.3-something. Usually it takes at least 3.7 to get an award. So unless they have been mass demoting other submissions, they haven't taken that many "deserving" artists' awards.

Everything dies. Living is slowly dying. So yes, it is slowly dying, as it should be.
