How to save NG? 2012-09-08 13:48:23 Reply

I have an idea on how to save NG, and this is primarily assuming that people are leaving this site to migrate to Kongregate or the like, or that they never joined in the first place and instead joing Kong or the like instead.

Why not, for a limited amount of time, work with those sites to have a feature called "Migrate to NG" where you can create an account that is the same username on NG, (with duplicates being informed to the user prior) and copies over ALL our stats, after conversion, and then copies over your flash and the like (with permission)?

That way, more people would choose to sign up with both NG and Kong in very quick steps, and will come back to maintain their profile. Add to that the fact if the chat and other features are improved, then it would potentially increase monthly traffic.

What do you think, NG?

and IF newgrounds is that desperate for coin, then they can simply delete millions of mb's of spam and then downgrade the server to toms house... and have the admins work out of their own homes instead of have a office....

I have the proper credentials, all that needs to happen is for a position to open up

With my severe insomnia, and the fact that my job would be to work here, I'd be on almost 24/7

And I like the nick name xenomutt

No, that's for venting our frustrations on those hapless Kongs. But seriously, the likelihood of Kong helping NG to increase traffic is pretty much the same as Facebook and Google+ announcing that they're going to split revenue 50-50.

We need to get rid of all the shitty users. Which is every user. Just wipe the slate clean and get all new users.

FUCK IT, DELETE EVERYONE
