If you haven't noticed there is an aggressive new email worm, MyDoom, spreading like wildfire. As a result NG Staff is being flooded with these virus emails. I get around 2,000 a day. We are aggressively filtering these out the best we can, but this may result in us missing some legit emails. So if you email us and we don't respond in a reasonable time, don't be upset and try again (if it's really important).

In other news we are setting up a new Paris Hilton collection. We could use some more good content for it, so if you submit something let me know.

Also we had some issues with the Database at the end of last week, and we are looking into that. We have been making a lot of changes to our system so some errors are to be expected. We have a new file server going online this week and we are hoping it will improve site performance.

I remember somebody made a topic about the virus awhile ago, and everyone just called him a stupid n00b and told him to shut the hell up...

And Wade, Altr submitted a Paris Hilton dressup some time ago, you could put that in the Paris Hilton section.

Glad to hear there was a legit reason for me getting errors a wee bit ago. **

Response to Email Worms 2004-02-02 00:32:02


Ha, I just saw that new Paris Hilton page today while browsing threw old stuff.

Response to Email Worms 2004-02-02 00:48:34


I wonder if this is the same virus that was on the news the other day.


Apologies aren't what I look for. Redemption is what I want!

Look at my profile to see a true cockhead! DO IT NOW!

A new Collection is always cool. But what we really need is an Animutation Collection for all of those great Animutations throughout the site.

Don't you think?

Response to Email Worms 2004-02-02 01:10:37


Say Wade, I have yet to of recieved a reply to my email so I assume it was unread. I was simply wondering if you could put my movie, Spring, into the music video collection if that's not too much trouble.

Thats a great idea man. Get some Trapezoid, DMK, and "insert name here", that would rock so hard.

Don't you think?

Yes, sometimes.

That viris is a pain luckly my computer won't let it in but it still tryed about 43 times.

Response to Email Worms 2004-02-02 02:49:46


This virus is really bad...it's affected so many people and is so big...
I took note of it's appearance a few days ago and warned many people...hope that it gets fixed up soon...

Response to Email Worms 2004-02-02 03:01:23


My understanding is that it is only getting worse. I only hope it is curbed and the idiot responsible is brought in and forced to die from a spam burial. Not e-mail spam, but the actual mystery meat!


life has to happen sometimes, it just happing to me all over the place

i was wondering why i got a "this page will be back in 10 minutes message" and why it was so slow. well hope that will fix it.

I got that bastard virus too! Fortunately I got it after they told us what to do on the news. I took my computer in for a check-up just in case, and they said I was lucky not to get affected. Wow, I can't believe a sorry little idiot who makes viruses could even dream of shutting down our beloved Newgrounds? I heard the other day that there is a price on his head! I hope someone catches him, especially someone from Newgrounds. >:D

How the hell would we catch the fuck? He is probably some 40 year old nerd that lives with his mom. We would have to start busting into houses and searching them.

It won't work.

YA!!!
A dud3 mad a topic about that worm!!!

AND LOLz on the PAris Hilton Collection :)
I just might submit something :P

Response to Email Worms 2004-02-02 08:22:53


don't you think this is kinda pathetic though? No one would catch those viruses if they didn't open stupid emails, so why the fuck do they always spread so easily? And then they ask you to insure you're not infected ( probably hoping you'll go see a professionnal who'll charge you some dough.

omg conspiracy...
