Indeed it has - I've played far too much and lost a lot of sleep over these games and Lord of the Rings Online. Well, it is the holidays, after all.

Soooo... That about wraps up 2011. I really have to thank EVERYONE who has contributed this year because due to the redesign, we failed to launch a single site enhancement in 2011.

This sets things up for a great year in 2012. Now I need to pull my finger out and offer what help I can.

Goodbye and good riddance to what has been a really shitty year for me.

2012 is going to be a good year, though- I can feel it.

Yeah, 2011 was a really shitty year for me too because of the many terrible things that happened (and the many attempts of politicians taking away the internet).

So now I don't know if I got my news post responded by Tom or not.

But yeah 2012 is coming with all sorts of changes, lets hope they are for the best. I'm actually pretty excited.

I like to think 2012 will not just be a better year for NG but a better year for the world... Looking forward to better days. :)

This is the only year so far I can say something like this.

This may be the last post of the year.

At least for me

Heh, I was quite into this for a brief amount of time. I'm not a big MMO man, although I play a lot of single player RPGs, what really did cause me to have a deep-seated interest in this game was the fact that I'm a huge fan of Tolkien, the world of Arda and the lore behind it. From what I could tell, it was far more accurate in terms of representing the lore than I expected and I can't fault it on that, even if the gameplay is fairly generic. I tried booting it up a while back and on each attempt the client freezes upon picking a server and I cannot find any way to circumvent this, so I haven't touched it since, bar from another unsuccessful attempt fairly recently.

2011 wasn't as good as 2010 for me, but it wasn't a bad year either. It had some really strong highlights for me, like meeting Dannce . Here's to 2012!

I wonder if a part of the redesign will be the infamous NG chat.

Or a YouTube. Or an Armor Games. Or pretty much any recent redesign. They're all done just for kicks pretty much. Ugh, I got a bad feeling about this.

Glad to see we are going to see that redisgn, i hope lots of great things come to newgrounds,

~X~

When the redesign comes, so shall ambitious content. I can't wait! 2012 is going to kick ass!

Redesign...........holy shitballs!!

so long 2011 well want to wish u guys a Happy New Year and cya all in 2012

I just hope people will stop talking about... anyway happy new year newgrounds!!!

Hurray! Not for the actual redesign, but for people finally shutting the fuck up about the redesign taking too long. I'm sure the redesign will be amazing though, I'm just scared of it being confusing to understand at first, I don't want it to be like an entire;y new website that I have to learn. I do have hopes though.

Congratulations on another great year of Newgrounds and here's to another! I love you Tom, Wade, Luis, Stamper, uh.. Rob... I think there's a guy named Tim that works there... Yea, I love NG.

Well i do hope its new but i do hope they go with the same color theme its always been my fave, but if there is a whole new site then i suppose it will be ok just aslong as we get all sorts of new features and stuff.

Regardless i look forward to something new and with lots of nifty things.

Angry Faic

Tom... was the large animated angry faic that just screamed, "GAAAHHHHH!!! What are you lookin' at?!?!" your doing?

My speakers were turned way the hell up and I swear I've never been so close to shitting myself.

Happy new year faggots!

Now i'm off to some epic firework battles, TO ARMS!

This is kinda a great thread to talk about the New Year's.

2011, you will be missed. Here's to a pumpin' 2012!!! Here here!!!

The redesign... I don't know if we can handle it. I think I'm excited.

or scared with joy

Now that I think about it, 2011 was a pretty boring year for NG. This would explain the reason why, I suppose. :X

Well, at least we FINALLY get some closure on this redesign thing soon. I was beginning to think it was all just a giant joke.
