We've had amazing submissions since 1999, and along with brilliant animators and their flash (We have a fucking former Disney animator in the community for christs sakes), we have brilliant composers and their music. And now we have an art portal, setting standards far above what the shithole Deviantart has with brilliant artists, and possibly a Lit portal coming soon to bring in brilliant writers.

We have shit like the above flying in every week. Every day. With minimal ads. We have a limitless amount of entertainment, and all the people who have become famous over the internet with flash animation started here. Yet, every area I go there are probably 3 people who know about NG's existence, the rest thinking eBaums, 4chan, or Arcadebucket are responsible. You'd think this wouldn't be so with the NG references in the Behemoth games.

Those who know about it love it, and with the flashes that come out of this place, we'll be common knowledge one day.

Things won't run so smoothly on this website if it goes mainstream or gets too crowded.

Will that even be successful though? I don't think many others other than Newgrounders will buy it

Not to mention Harry Partridge and Edd Gould work for the BBC now.

NG is an amazing tool.

They don't work for them (I don't know about HappyHarry, though), they were just on it once.

well Newgrounds has been a underground den for many independent/amateurs animators, gamers, artists and musicians revolving around the free collaborative user made media and the lack of heavy advertising and sponsorship by major companies kept NG in a well deserved "underground" rank, but among other underground websites NG still pretty much "mainstream"

also all flashes submitted daily by 12 yrs olds and spammers show how heavy the data traffic is on NG's domain


Did yo just lost The GAME ?

Like white women to black men, once you go to NG, you'll never go back.

People know about Newgrounds. They just don't want to admit it -- because of the cock jokes.


Life is a performance, and the world is full of critics. Give it your all like it's your last show.
You don't even want to know

There's no reason to suck up to the admins. Or the community elites. It's a website on the internet. It attracts talented (and not so talented) people. That's it.

Yet, every area I go there are probably 3 people who know about NG's existence, the rest thinking eBaums, 4chan, or Arcadebucket are responsible.

Maybe Newgrounds is just one site on the internet out of a hundred others just like it?

Newgrounds can only get bigger and better, and is home to THE best flashes on the internet, there isn't another site like it.

Youtube didn't exist during that time.


I come and go. Sometimes I say stupid shit. I'll regret this post when I look back at it next year.
