Didn't realize we were even a spam crew. Sure, we submit crappy animations time to time, hardly any of it is straight up spam. My work tends to be filled with a lot of trying. I tire of this uneducated judgment.

who hardly post anything as it is.

Considering we're a little over a year old and have nearly 100 flashes, with a small base as we got, I say we're doing pretty well.

Seems to me that the only qualifying factor that people still acknowledge is mere quantity, not quality.

Better than the CFC. However I foresee a resurgence in the near future.

Keeps things entertaining. And when you got groups like these, it's not as much (but still exists) about the quality of flashes, as in the mere enjoyment in creating them, sharing inside jokes with one another, and the simple thrill of seeing angry reviews from those who don't get the joke since they're outsiders.

If I decide to take this thread seriously for some reason, what Newgrounds is lacking the most is notification when things are posted. As it stands the only way to know someone replied to a thread, or to know that someone commented on one of your news posts, is to actively go looking to see if it happened. This is information that should be provided to you automatically, as a way to increase your engagement in the website. Give us a thread watchlist, and give us notifications when someone comments on something we've posted, and I guarantee community engagement will increase.

the threads have gotten less interesting.

the portal has become a complete turd. nothing gets blammed and the stuff that gets submitted are usually unfunny parodies or just plain terrible.

reviews are "OMFG 10/10 love this" all of the time, and negative reviews are less common.

the whistle is gone. WHAT THE FUCK.

"featureless chat" is a stupid idea. and it's usually full of noobs.

there isn't that much to complain about, actually

The Levels and Rankings pages are still non-functional, but I remain optimistic.

I hope the latter gets fixed by the time I hit the top 50.

I wish that Tom would visit the BBS more often.

I wish there were more hot girls on here.

I wish there weren't so many pony fags on here.

I wish 12-year-olds didn't visit the site.

I wish people would stop complaining about the redesign.

barely anything gets blammed these days, and a review that's more than three sentences is a rare sight.

Too many bronies on here.

Too many twelve years on here.

Too many good threads get locked.

Too many mods that hurt the site, instead of making it better.

i don't think there's any point complaining anymore

95% of the cool users have either left or just begrudgingly post here out of habit

it's better to jump ship at this point

I could nitpick a thing or two here and there, but really, this place a lot better than most of the websites out there.
