Every log on to newgrounds makes me more and more depressed. seeing the "the best of all time" slowly become average flash movies or games. what happened to adam phillip's (chluaid) flashes? i think every one of his creations deserve a spot on the top 50. i guess im just trying to say that there should be some sort of rule that it should take at least 6 months on the site for flashes to be on the "best of all time" list. it really seems to me that its becoming the " best of the year" list.

I think everyone should just leave for 1 year, then start over from the bottom.

It's a damn shame. But as the userbase grows the scores of new and popular flashes will only get higher and higher. While those good old classics with 1mill+ votes will stay where they are, and eventually be buried.

I can't complain though, lololol.

A gem will come along.

You can't deny that "Toss the Turtle" is this year's best flash, though!

Yes. I love that game, but that is this year's best. Overall, I would say Adam phillips stuff is terrific, there are a few others, I mean I really like madness, but it certainly isn't the best.

Now days I spend most of my time on here being a terrible troll, it brings me back :(.

Protect the portal :D.

does anyone else hate madness? i love krinkels shit, but the whole mindless violence shit has been raped to death.

and that's being polite; i'll admit there are a few artists that keep the series alive.

and krinkels and the madness combat movies. honestly, who the hell doesnt like madness?

madness is a rather old series, its had a good run but everything must go eventually

I like Madness, but there's been way too much of it lately. Every new Flash, both by Krinkles and by the countless fans, just feels like the same damn thing over and over again.

And Weebl used to be good, but his latest stuff is lacking.

Don't pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.

Admittedly I love Adam's works. Brakenwood series were brilliant.

But you're forgetting. If he were to submit just one more flash to the portal. Then the 09's would be forced into the bask of it's epic-ness, and the portal will be bought to a more fair level. As it stands, times have changed, and sometimes you just have to accept the new coller cartoon-styles of Tarboy and Toss the Turtle - which in their own rights are both brilliant works.

like Buffy? Beavis and Butthead? Invader Zim?

i know, fail with zim and gir

but some people probably still watch the madness series out of randomness and, say said person (people) is(are) a little pissed off, maybe they might watch some madness combat videos out of boredom

i did this once because i had a very shitty day and after watching, i felt better

you never know. only time will tell

The Top 50 is reserved for the top scoring flashes. In case you've been under a huge boulder for the past few years, Waterlollies has been at the top of the list for like 50 fucking decades. It's about time it fell to make way for new flashes. And I don't know if you've noticed but Adam Phillips isn't very good when it comes to plot or story.

OMG YEAH BURN EM

Also, how can it depress you? The fact is Newgrounders are the ones voting on the flash, if they really like it, they vote it well. It's not a case of everything becoming average but a case of finally having more than a few really good animators, so the general quality of the Top 50 is super but yes there are a lot of super flash now. It's a thing to be happy about when there is more flash to the standard of Adam Phillips work.

Goddamn, I remember when people actually used the buttons between the 0 and the 5 to vote on movies. I also remember when artistic quality of the animation gained it a place in the top 50, not what it is now. Just a bunch of parodies and flavour of the week.

Ahh,... the good old days. Well in any case vinnie veritas is still doing shit. Anybody remember the "Blackmaze" crew? You know, like, Nanoko and NoGood and thems. What's really depressing is Nanoko's profile now. http://nanokostudio.newgrounds.com/

Now THAT is depressing!
