at the risk of sounding like a troll, go to hell

the site would be ruined by facebook, hell its bad enough with youtube people stealing videos, I love this site, and would be greatly saddened if facebook had the power (eventually, it will happen) to censor the adult content, sinking the site.

No it wouldn't. Imagine being able to post Flash you like directly to your Facebook. It will generate a lot of views for the Author they wouldn't be able to get otherwise. Also, all it would take is a little warning at the start of the Flash, or not be allowed to post Adult Content to your Facebook at all. Problem solved.

Facebook on Wednesday announced plans to turn the web into one big cock...

I stopped reading there because that's all I wanted to believe.

Then the point of coming to newgrounds would be null, one of the biggest places for FREE games and videos, and music, gone, facebook would probably charge you to post things like that, then charge other people to use them, and if they control the internet, they wouldn't have opposition.

I am. But i'm not about to move a finger to help you.

Remember, you are the masses. If masses don't like something, it's no problem to remove it. If goverment says no, replace old people in goverment with new ones.

You don't know how Facebook integration works do you?

All they do is add a little thumbnail you click, and it posts it directly to your page. Facebook doesn't charge for anything, except some of their retarded little apps, so there's no need to worry about that. Again, I need to say that adding an option in Newgrounds to post something to your Facebook will not ruin the internet. Plenty of news websites and video websites have this feature, and none are ran by Facebook. Please shut the fuck up until you know what you're talking about.

At the risk of losing Newgrounds, one of the few sites who hasn't jumped on the bandwagon?

What the fuck happened to the time when the internet didn't suck?
When we went on IRC's and kicked idiot users randomly, when we all traded pron and made the idiots cry their eyes out.

I demand REVOLUTION.


What a shame, Mister Jensen.
I never asked for this, Mister Denton.

How would Newgrounds be lost?

All there would be is a little thumbnail with a Thumbs up or the Facebook F

Sharing flash? Yeah, that's not a bad idea. Now putting some facebook connect bullshit on the forums; that's some retarded ass shit.

I think this will have quite the opposite effect. Being able to post a movie like this

onto Facebook won't serve to make Newgrounds worse. It will make Facebook better.

Newgrounds would have succumb to the temptation and jumped on the bandwagon. Newgrounds has been a very independent site for a long time. Newgrounds doesn't need Facebook. Newgrounds is able to thrive off the user-generated content that enters the portal every day.
