Now I'm fully aware it's early in the morning for the states, however this is just depressing man.

What happened newgrounds?

Obligatory newgrounds was better back in the day thread. Also, I've been around since 04, don't let the account fool you.

Maybe I'm behind in the times, but isn't this like THE place to be for online flash games? I just don't get it. Not even that long ago we had atleast 3x the traffic we do now. There is literally no reason to use this forum, if I wanted to discuss something it would take like an hour to get a response, in that time I could have gone elsewhere.

Very frustrating.

It's the weekend, early morning, forums on any site have a drop in activity ... take your pick.

Indeed. Only old school users feel their opinion needs to be backed up by their sign-up date.

1. That answer your question my friend. The reality now is that nearly everyone who can afford an internet connection and a computer has a smartphone which is fully capable of playing these flash games 10 times better at a better convenience.

2. Flash artists that are popular took their weight to Youtube as the payout and reach is far greater.

I remember seeing kids playing flash games back down in the compute lab round here, now that place is either filled with senior student studying or just an occasional person checking his email.

Newgrounds is a website with many things, the forum is just one of those things and one thing doesn't necessarily represent the size or activity levels of the entire website.

i joined seven days ago and i think this forum is still doing pretty well, in fact probably better than before!

I think my first account was 03, but I don't flaunt that fact due to the breaks that were sometimes years in between and how little I care to catch up on what happened during the forums between that time. A lot of forums I used to regularly visit are pretty dead now, but this one still gets a modest amount of traffic. However, I do faintly remember even back then in 03 people were always complaining about new sign-ups and how it was much better back in the day. Maybe it's just you outgrowing the website and your subconscious telling you to move on. *Shrug*

[Dragen]

Yeah, that is depressing.
From Wikipedia:
In 1998, Tom Fulp of Newgrounds created a spoof of Teletubbies called Teletubby Fun Land which resulted in a law suit from the BBC. This resulted in a boost of notoriety and media exposure, and the video was renamed Telebubby Fun Land.

We need something more like that so that we can get a boost of notoriety.

[Dragen]

And actually when it said that there were 15 users online that was just for the general forum and not on the rest of them. In the entire BBS there are 58 online right now so you are very inaccurate.

thanks for sticking up for me, dude. don't pay any mind to that kind of posts, though. it's just negative chakra looking for people to propagate itself through. the way sound can only move through matter this negative chakra only flows through the mind of humans, we can't let ourselves become a medium of negative energy proliferation

right on, supergandhi64

we don't accept cyberbullying on newgrounds

[Ganon-Dorf]

Early morning on a weekend, hmmm, I wonder why there is so little traffic....could it be everyone is asleep because they were up till 3am playing world of warcraft or out partying?

[TheColourAwesome]

I don't mind it. It's humble. I know people, sort of.

[Slint]

Yeah well I've been here since 1986 so get on my level.

You're wrong my good sir. These forums used to be blown up by posts like no tomorrow. Back in 2006 to 2008 was crazy with posts everywhere, even at my favorite portion of the site, the Clubs and Crews. Now, it just seems like a wasteland. :( I still gonna enjoy this site for what it is though since it is a magnificent site. :)

Let's all pretend sign up date matters. This has never happened.

I agree. Post count is where it's at.

There's definitely a big spike there (it's actually July 17, when I zoomed in).
Over 20,000 posts apparently...
