Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

You may have noticed NG was down for a few minutes this morning, so down we didn't even have the maintenance animation up. This was because we were COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE INTERNET. We were swapping bandwidth lines.

Until this morning, NG was connected to two 1gbps lines, each capped at 500mbps (1gbps total) with the ability to burst up to 2gbps and pay overage fees, which we did regularly.

As of today, NG is connected to a 10gbps line, capped at 5gbps.

To summarize, we have quintupled our bandwidth and are ready for big things in the future.

If you have Flash submissions here on NG and you haven't updated to 140x90 thumbnails yet, please do so! Our courageous icon mod team has tackled over 20,000 thumbnails but they need all the help and support they can get.

Thanks for the heads up, Tom! I want to see the winners of the monthly voting soon.

Yay Future! I cannot wait for the redesign! :D

You probably had some audio file triggered to play once it was done.

UPGRADE COMPLETE.

no commercial characters of music? I guess video game characters still count since the Kirby Collab made it on the ballot. But why not the latest Underdog of the Week Yoshi's Brawl? How do flashes get up there in the first place?

I'd like the future now, please.

I tried to sign-in during that time. I thought my computer failed. I think it shaved a few months off my life.

I am happy to hear about the upgrade. I am eager to see what you do with it.

Oh joy! x5

Well would you look at me getting in on this on the first page. Now icon mods stop reading threads and get back to fucking work. *pulls out whip and cracks it*

YEAH! LONDON MEET! WOOOOOOOOOP! Nice to here about the upgrade.

I think you mean "stop reading threads and go make Flashes reminding people that 100,000 icons is a friggin' lot."

London, sweet.

"Newgrounds.org: The internet's largest flash hentai community *since 2004*"

The future takes a long time and a lot of people. :(

I guess you really aren't the Messiah like I had thought.

Redesign sounds sweet too.

Some nice stuff, T.

yes...and hopefully no more site crashes right?

Tried but it dosent support payments from Canada.

Any solutions?

Aha. I thought my computer was being gay again.

That seems like a pretty big improvement. Can't wait for the 'big things' that are about to happen.
