Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

A long time ago my friend showed me a stupid britney spears flash. prob in like 2004 or so..

What do you most enjoy about the site?

The art everyone puts soo much hardwork into, and the amazing voice acting, i love it.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

I would change the store and make it way cooler and actually put quotes from the animations on the back of the shirts soo people that have never seen the flash animation would see a funny quote and actually like the shirt and also directing more attention to the website.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back?

LoL, Nah.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

I learned about Newgrounds a while back in middle school when people talked about some of the flash cartoons on there.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

I like watching flash animation from funny comedians and artistic artists.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

With only one day, I couldn't implement the chat system. I guess I would change the art portal and audio portal so your votes had a little more weight to them in terms of voting power. Then, I would send messages to a few people to fix some medal glitches. Afterwards, I would declare that every year after this would be Chicken Day, a day dedicated to chicken.

I can't remember some of the animations that were eventually blammed, but I know I really enjoyed a few here or there. There could be a section for blammed animations and games that passed the judgement score, but were eventually removed. You would have to have a gold whistle or higher to view it though, to make it exclusive. This part could fit in the above question.

YOU ARE MAGICAL RIGHT?

I don't see myself as such, but I might have enough luck to compensate for my lack of magic.

About 4 years ago, through my little 10 year old brother who was using the site to check out mario animations.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

The community aspect.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

I'd re-allow animated sigs and page-banners!

I miss the old interactive flash game/animation at the top of the flash portal. :'(

Brother told me. I love Cookies.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

I love cookies. I enjoy the games

I don't know. The site seems perfect to me already. Cookies..

Sorry i'm kinda new to this site...But I still love cookies.

I would add a post preview button.

My cousin showed me Divine Intervention Part 1 and I fell in love with it, and my interest in the site just sort of blossomed from there.

: What do you most enjoy about the site?

The games are pretty fun, and it's cool how Newgrounds does so much to help boost the recognition of its contributors such as Edmund McMillen and The-Swain.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

I don't spend as much time on here as I used to so I don't really know what needs fixing. I would try and gauge opinion from the other users on what needs improvements or tweaks, taking special care to ignore morons and advice that is exceptionally retarded.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

No. Everything on Newgrounds has been changed or improved for the better, and the only reason people complain about the old ways is because they are socially inept man-children who fear the unknown and can't accept that a normal, funtioning society goes through personal change. I would like to see the return of Bitesize soon. It's a good idea to give it a break so it doesn't wear out its welcome, but I think it's time for a comeback.

I think it was probably around 2004-ish. But I didn't make an account until the end of last year.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

The ability it gives people to share their creations over the internet, with virtually no restrictions (within reason of course)

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

I would spice up the audio portal. I know this site was CREATED for flash, but I just think the AP could use a little fine-tuning.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

I don't think I've been here long enough to know what this place used to be like. If there used to be GOOD musicians on this site, I say bring them back, because all the annoying spammers that make 2 sec sounds of them moaning, then submit it to the AP and people actually LIKE it?!? I would rather have the ACTUAL musicians pleez!

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

Awww man. A while back with parody paradise, what was that? '00 or '01? A friend told me about that and Teletuby Funland.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

This website is probably one of the premiere flash portals featuring games and movies. I don't stalk the forum but it's a nice touch for a great community that has brought together great collaborations.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

Probably couldn't be done in one day but I'd get something rolling about a frontpage nod to hidden treasures or classic flashes. This website has been around or a while and his huge! Things fly under the radar and are forgotten too easily, but hard to fix. I understand.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

Part of me misses the old theme music to Newgrounds. Probably couldn't handle it forever but a flashback day with the old music would make me smile.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?When I was around 7, I found some older kids playng on addicting games and it looked like fun so I asked what website it was. So then i played on i for a few years and i found bubblebox, which had a bettter range of games. There i found tons of sites like armorgame,hallpass,and some other sites. But just a while ago i decided that NG was the best and i joined.
What do you most enjoy about the site? Mostly that there is audio and movies which a ton of gaming websites don't have.
Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix? First id add a friend system and one thing i really want to see is more online multiplyaer games like platform racing 2
Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations) Theres a ton of old games from like 4 years ago that id like to see on here.

1. late 2004, signed up just about a year later
2. the portal(s), of course!
3. Ban all the people who intentionally submit turd of the weeks. ;P
4. Well, kind of, i'd want the downloads page to be updated with loads of new content.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?
-I first heard about Newgrounds when it was featured on "The Screensavers" on TechTv.

What do you most enjoy about the site?
-I really enjoy the creativity of the people on this site. I also enjoy seeing animators work before they get big.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?
-I would change the audio portal to work a little more like the flash portal.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)
-Nope.

I first heard of Newgrounds from a good friend of mine, I've never thanked him for it.

I enjoy all the talented people and all their spectacular submissions. I mean, DAMN! You can find some really great things here! Sooner or later the Nobel committee will be coming over here, going through the all the great stuff in search for the next nominee for "Awesomest person ever"!

I would fix the voting system somehow. I believe the votes do not represent the true opinion of the people here on newgrounds. Some people tend to zero bomb the crap out of everything, just so they can promote their own stuff and keep the democracy from prospering here at this wonderful site.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

In middle school, 2004 or 2005 I can't remember, there was this thing called "Home Base" where we had to wait in a specified room and listen to announcements before classes started. One nice thing was that there were two computers in that room, and if you came to school early the teacher would let you play them. I would normally go on to generic game and humor sites, the kind that are probably now broken links. The only other person who went after the computer was this one creepy Asian kid (you know what I'm talking about). One day I saw him playing Pico's school, and I was immediately interested.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

The amount of content. There is a lot more stuff to see on this site than there is on any other. That means that there is an opportunity to see stuff that would not have made it to other sites, particularly the more experimental stuff.
Also, the staff artists are beastly.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

I would probably spend the whole day screwing around with collection and series pages. Do you remember this series?

The Important Mission, by DOMOFlashVideos Type: Movie Rating: Ages 13+

Never got a series page. Also, the collection are set up really weird-like. Why isn't Castle Crashers in the video game parody sub-collection?

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

I can't think of anything other than those blam/save/whistle animation. The little flash animations on the front page were cool at first but they got old fast.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

About a week before my sign-up date.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

All the great and not so great criticism that I get for my audio.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

I would remove the 0 in the voting system, leaving 1-5, and I would give artists the ability to see who voted what on their submissions.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

I got here RIGHT before the redesign, so I don't really have anything to miss, but I heard that you used to be able to have animated sigs, which would be so freaking awesome to have.

My cousin, maybe about six or seven years ago, I was in elementary school and he definitly shouldn't have shown my some of the animations on this site.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

Forums, general to be exact.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

I wouldn't mind being able to embed videos into forums posts, or a way to gain more then 10 experience in a day.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

Animated sigs were generally entertaining, I would also like it if under location in our profiles, it still said Habitat.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

A good friend of mine showed me some neat flash movies in 2003-04. I signed up in '05 so that I could save my favorites.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

The audio portal. Something about sifting through hours and hours of free music satisfies me.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

Fix a lot of the dead links such as the "More Latest Submissions" and "More Best Tracks" links on the front page of the audio portal.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

I miss being able to listen to all of the tracks of one artist on the same page. That was a lot nicer then the set up now.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

2004

What do you most enjoy about the site?

The obscenity at first, then later the potential to share flash, music, art, etc.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

Kill background ads, wide screen, and game features.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

NG slowly is becoming more like a generic game site. Not totally, but every time something new happens. You lose a little bit of the awesome, mindless, gory, offensive genius that Newgrounds is. Its becoming less like: Everything by Everyone, and more like: Placid, Generic Things Sponsored by Game Websites.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

- I learned of Newgrounds back when I was but a 11 year old child just learning about the internet..my misfit friend Carl told me about the website....my parents were terrible at restricting websites.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

- I loooove the flash animations, some are quite inspiring..some just make your formerly shitty day turn into a bright shiny one with pink butterflies and yellow bunnies..of sorts.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

-The only thing I'd probably alter would be to give the ability to full screen flash animations.. I know it would probably cause a lot of pixels to show but to be given as an option seems fair enough, I don't mind sacrificing the quality...its for the simple joy and pleasure of the animation not the how good it looks in my opinion..since it would be optional the quality watchers won't complain.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

Newgrounds in general has been moving straight forward, the only thing I kind of miss is a time when there were less ads, fortunently the black out feature has fixed this for me so really, I have no complains.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

Back in 2007, when I first started playing flash games around the web. Most of the games had the NewGrounds preloader, so I thought I'd check it out. I clicked the link, saw the MASSIVE amount of content, and was hooked.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

The fact that there is never a shortage of things to do. I can play games, watch movies, check out blogs, look at artwork, listen to music, and browse forums all on the same website.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

I would add a chat portal and a literature portal. As for things to fix, I can't say there is anything to fix. Everyone has done a good job on the website.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

I can't say that I've been on this site long enough to know any of the old things. I like it the way it is.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

I found Newgrounds in 1998 on my 486 no name computer with 1440 dial up. Barely pentium speed, the long loading times were worth it!

What do you most enjoy about the site?

I enjoy too many things about this site to pick just one.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

Change: I would give more recognition to the king of the portal. Not only would they have front page, but they would create their version of the Newgrounds Homepage Banner to be displayed on the website for the month. Fix: Keep working on the issue with awarding game medals.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

Well...it would be nice to slip an older front-page submission (like Beebo) somewhere on the front page just to see what kind of reaction it would get...

I WILL find a way to use those coupons if I win them...:)

no

I first learned about it YEARS ago, back when you killed teletubbies and watched Vegeta split the world in half with his poo

I enjoy the freedom that everyone has to post what their wildest imaginations can create. This is what the internet was made for. pure from-the-creator entertainment

What would I change? Well youve been around so long that some new sites have adopted ideas perhaps you should as well. Like how youtube has updates when you log in to those who youve subscribed to. That way nothing you love slips through the cracks when you dont log in for a day or so.

The blam/save animations were ok, i dont miss em but i woudlnt mind if they came back. it let me know i put the final nail in the coffin of something i wanted dead, feels good man

BTW, I live in Canada and I don't think that wing place exists up here, so take me outa the ballot, just wanted to post my opnion.

Maybe about a week or two before I had signed up. It was through a random Google search that led me to a link to Newgrounds. I started looking around, though it was pretty cool, and signed up.

The flash games/movies, with a side of randomness from General Forum.

I'd make it a requirement that you have to spend at least 24 hours lurking the BBS before you post your first post. (You will go idle if your mouse doesn't move for two minutes.) This will give new users at least a little bit of experience to see how most people post, and will weed out any noobs that can't spend 24 hours lurking the BBS.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

I'd like the regular old front page (because I haven't been around too long) where we didn't have the giant ad at the top. That thing is so annoying.

2002. I was still in grade school, and came on here because I saw my cool older brother doing so. Played some games, watched some movies, and came on every once and a while. Didn't register till 2006 though.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

Animations. i could care less about the games now. Right now my favorite thing is defiantly Marc M's animations.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

Hate the art portal. I don't think it really works as a portal. I'd prefer something more like DeviantArt. Also the user pages could be more customizable.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

I've been seeing this in other posts as well. Newgrounds 'edginess' is gone. this place used to be one of the best websites for things like gratuitous violence and terribly offensive jokes. I made a animation about how funny AIDS is, and people where offended! What the hell happened here? I'd like to see that come back.
