I've illegally placed oldschool and newschool Newgrounds stickers all around Ohio and Georiga inside random phonebooths, telephone poles, corkboards, etc. I risked going to jail for this site countless times. WHERES MY FUCKING SUPPORTER BADGE? Who knows how much traffic I've driven to this site by word of mouth? No one, but I've been around for 14 years so it's likely I've made a bit of impact because I have always supported this site, in person, and on the net.

I'll go ahead and add that all the accusations against me by Mod's and staff were completely false and I've never done anything to rape the trust of the inner-community, staff or mod's and the treatment I received by certain staff and mod's months ago was completely uncalled for and you should all apologize to me for being dicks.

Who spent countless hours modding the Audio portal? Who made thousands more icons than most of the community staff and other mods? CAST DID, SO STOP BEING MEAN TO ME. >:(

I would rather use paypal or a gift card or something. The least exposure possible for my personal credit card information the better. I'm sure Newgrounds doesn't want a playstation network type security breach with all that credit info!

I'm sure everyone here remembers but we must learn from the past to protect our future!

You know they use HTTPS for credit card transactions, right?
However, if you're still concerned, you can PM Tom to exchange a PayPal payment for store credit. That's what I did since I don't own a credit card.

I am getting hammered by confusion and surprises today.

That's neither a good thing nor a bad thing.

Yup. I play for both teams. :)
I guarantee there are a lot of users on Newgrounds that aren't straight. Making Tom all the more awesome.

Seriously if someone is on the fence about supporting NG that should be all you need to convince you.

i'm straight, but honestly: gay, straight, bi, black, white, yellow, green for all I care; we're all people. I don't see a point in making a big fuss over who's better based on skin color or personal preferences.

Seriously if someone is on the fence about supporting NG that should be all you need to convince you.

I was convinced I should do what I can to help before the whole supporter thing even came around. This place has pushed me a hell of a lot farther than I could have pushed myself.
Money's a little tight at the moment, but if everything goes to plan I should have some to spare next month.

"too far" and tits? does not compute. The more tits in this world (on skinny chicks, not fat guys), the better.

Male health is improved by staring at tits, although they probably mean real life tits, not Internet tits.

We don't store any credit card data - we would need to if we ever did recurring subscriptions but not at the moment.

Oh common Tom. If hentai can make it into the daily top 5 and appear at the bottom of every page, then that ad can run.
Besides, TOAS put a lot of time and effort into that.

Why would you donate to a site with a community that actively promotes child pornography?

Marketing skillz of NG:
12th)Tits always,ALWAYS work.I hope you payed Luis for this photoshoot
11th)We,Ngers,are used to Tom's sexiness/ugliness.But the simple visitors of the site will be TERRIFIED.
10th)I always wanted to join the tankmen but that's not the point.
9th)Newgrounds is not indie.It's a massive evil company which aims to take our money.
8th)NG is dying.Could work
7th)Tom crying.Tom's crying.Tom's crying because of my ignorance...
6th)Pbot crying.Pbot's crying.Pbot's crying because of my ignorance...
5th)Don't get it,can't remember/haven't watched the flash.
4th)Only works for guys who aren't aware that Johnny Utah is a member of the NG staff.
3rd)Oh my...
2nd)Reminds me "Don't use drugs" ads.
1st)But I am not a supporter...I definitely have to become a supporter then.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about

are you retarded or do you believe that a few shitposters on /b/ (a board that nobody who gives a shit about anything actually goes to) represents the whole community?

also stuff like that's been posted on ng as well, I can't be the only one to remember sevenstar and his star syndicate fellas

god knows i fucking love tom with all my heart but the vast majority of the newgrounds userbase are too horrid for anything else on the site to redeem that fact, sadly

That's essentially what I was getting at. As much as it hurts the place's image, there's not really anything Tom himself can do about the way people want to act here though, is there?

(Also, I probably have no place making suggestions as a non-financial supporter, but a preview-message option would be splendid!)
