One day my friend came to my house and went on this site. I was interested in the site and the next day i checked it out more, and deicded i liked it, so soon after that i made an account

What do you most enjoy about the site?

I guess the games and flash content that i find can be fun and interesting

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

I don't know, i would allow non flash submissions like java and shockwave 3d games, and i would also make the forums less stricrt.

I don't know, the sites pretty good as it is know, but i kinda miss the way newgrounds was like in 2005

I think back in '99, when I saw some kid playing Pico's School in class.

Umm.. flash games and movies. (and free chicken?!)

i guess how the medals glitch out sometimes, and you don't know until you go to play the game again and are like: wtf no medals?

Those festive cartoons that would hide in the banner. That ninja was pretty chill.

In 2002, the year of such awesomeness as these things.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

Posting, and the open atmosphere that allows people to express themselves.

I'd bring back the pop-up User Profile pages, they were awesome, and they gave you view counts >:[

The "Blow my whistle bitch" song that happened when I blew the whistle on illegal submissions. BLARGH

i think i saw my brother on it once back in the day so i decided to check it out too. lol, NG runs in the family. from what i can remember i got addicted to the game "pimps quest". i must have completed that go some many times its silly.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

i think the best thing about the site is how new talent is always emerging, and its always got fresh stuff to offer. the comunity here is good too (although we're all guilty of being a tad imature at times lol)

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

i think id make the audio portal a bit more established, but thats just because i love music and have submitted a few things myself

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

i dont think theres anything i miss. ive been coming here nearly five years now, all thorugh my adolecance, and i think the main reasons things have changed is because ive changed myself. i find different things appealing now. i wouldnt bring anything back because chances are i wouldnt feel the same about it.

At 10/20/09 02:06 PM, Jonas wrote: When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

Around 1999-ish when I was in second grade. Saw it on the news and it looked cool. Been on here ever since.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

You can go here when you're fucking bored. There's games, flash cartoons, anything that can keep you from getting bored. Achievements as well, which are fucking awesome.

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

I would change the side advertisements. They really don't make newgrounds look like the newgrounds we're familiar with when we see them there. They look cool and all, but they're just annoying to look at.

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

I really miss the old Christmas banner at the top. Like the one from 2004. That banner was so awesome and fun to look at. Then you guys fucked it up last year or whenever and had it all 'ice-looking'. I couldn't stand looking at that.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

Fall of '03

What do you most enjoy about the site?

The awesome up-and coming artwork and the fact that it's a good place for artists to improve from critiques.

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

The shitty mass voting on terrible flashes and most of the retarded BBS posts.

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

IRC chat. ;)

Mind you it's not quite a year as due to internet problems, and the time it took to actually took so it's more like 10 months. BUT DAMN IT, it's a pile of free chicken.

The actual contest -

All you have to do is comment in this topic and answer these questions.

I'll randomly grab a user's reply, and post it on my user page, declaring them the winner.

Contest begins RIGHT NOW, Contest ends October 28th at Midnight. I'll be locking the topic and sifting through for a magical winner. Then I'll send you a PM for your name/address and ship you your coupon book.

YOU ARE MAGICAL RIGHT?

LEAVE A SINGLE REPLY, AS MULTIPLE ENTRIES WILL MURDER YOUR SHOT AT FREE CHICKEN, YOU TERRIBLE PERSON.

answer 1: i first learned of this site through a friend, because he saw super mario brothers z, and he showed me this site, where he saw it.
answer 2:what i enjoy the most?, it would be: flash animations (like: nico do 2nd kirbomix [if you don't see the description before the flash, then you will go WTF], resident evil 5 meetup [explaining racisim in resident evil 5].
answer 3: ban users that flame other users that they did nothing to them, pick responsible people to be admins, and then SWEET RAVE PARTY.
answer 4: that stamper didn't put so many sexual themed flash, but well, he is himself, he cannot be changed, CAN HE?

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?
2005

What do you most enjoy about the site?
Flash Portal, BBS

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?
Scouting system I would change, nothing else to fix except maybe some new MODs

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)
A classic portal option would be great (view it as it used to be), but I don't really miss anything

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?
Around when I was in 4th grade.
What do you most enjoy about the site?
The excessive amount of violence.
Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?
I would add perks and such for doing relatively menial things, like number of posts earns you an achievement etc. I would also fix that if someone constantly blamed submissions and or only gave them a 1 their vote would count less and less. Oh and I would also fix CHICKEN.
Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)
I haven't been around all that long... but I would like to see an NG mmo or something based off of tankmen, that would be beast. Maybe even if there was something comparable to flash, like a simple animation game that everyone used a lot (a stronger union of Newgrounders would be epic).

2006, In a mental hospital < I shit you not.

Either the BBS or games.

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

I would add the (c)lit portal.

Not really. Other than the black buttons.

Made me lol

To clear up some confusion, the contest ends today at 11:59 p.m. so anyone that hasn't entered may still do so until 12 AM EST Thursday Oct. 29th.

I'll be doing the pick live on Stickam, so feel free to come on in when the time rolls around.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

Around 2007 when playing flash games.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

The BBS and the Art portal.

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

I really don't know what I would fix, to be honest.

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

I don't know of anything that I would like to bring back, as I have only been here for 1 year.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

When I was about 5 Y/O

What do you most enjoy about the site?

I loved the games and movies

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

I'd probobly fix chat it's been " Coming soon " for years now.

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

I never really did anything on the site other than watch movies or play games but i guees i'll bring back animated sigs.

I saw some of the controversy about one of the game on the news over ten years ago.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

I don't specifically enjoy one feature more than the other. I just love the original concept of a site built completely off of user-submitted content. Its like the wikipedia of entertainment and art.

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

I'd like to add some sort of 'skin' feature. That way, if you like, for example, the 2009 halloween page design, you can turn it on whenever you want.

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

Hmm. I really can't think of anything big that has disappeared. Wait, I miss the massive amounts of controversy over the seal-clubbing game, actually.

At 10/20/09 02:06 PM, Jonas wrote: When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

Back in 2002/2003

What do you most enjoy about the site?

The flash back then

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

I would change the layout colors possibly, add some new levels

Uh in like 2002 or 2003. I was in the 7th or 8th grade and a friend of mine told me "Don't go to newgrounds.com because it has like porn and stuff on it" so being naturally curious I went anyway. I didn't even know WHAT to expect. But then I realized my friend was (semi) full of shit and it had cool games and animations.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

It's a nice little "All in one" package of games, forums, and other randomness. Also, it mostly revolves around wasting time (which I love to do).

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

First I'd get rid of the gigantic ads on the front page because it's getting a little ridiculous. I understand they're profitable, but seriously, it's pissing me off. This place is so much better than IGN (ad-wise), which has sunk, really, REALLY, low.

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

I miss the old Flash portal animation where you could destroy incoming .swf's by clicking. Haha you have no idea how much time I wasted on that simple little interactive thing....

Doing the contest drawing live on Stickam. Come in and join the fun!

Not nearly as disheartening as losing twice.

At 10/20/09 02:06 PM, Jonas wrote: When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

I'd heard kids talk about it since about 2000, but one of my friends got me to really look at the site around 2004 in the summer. I didn't make an account until 07 i think.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

I love the community and seeing people interact; I especially love seeing Tom so passionate about his dream. Frankly, its hard not to get inspired by the story of newgrounds.

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

I would contact strawberryclock and we would have a party. I would fix the fucked up broken review system, start with making all of the review mods follow the exact same criteria (set forth by Wade). I would also re-evaluate each review mod for his position; most would probably be fired. The review system is seriously broken. I would also make icon mods actually do shit as well, and make their work visible so they don't seem so useless. I haven't made any icons because it seems the mods never approve them. Lastly, i would force Ross to update his blog once a week.

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

I miss Ross :(. I would also bring back the NG mag. I still read its old as shit articles...
