Newgrounds Name - Copied. Wtf Nooo 2014-03-05 15:54:21 Reply

So I was on LinkedIn and noticed Tom and Wade didn't have an account with them...
Not only this, but Newgrounds wasn't a company on it.

But okay, that's fine...

However, in the search bar suggestions for Newgrounds, Newgrounds wasn't there but instead...

Newgrounds-Games.net

A real website, with Newgrounds' name, that has flash games...

That's like me creating a website called Facebook games and it having nothing to do with Facebook.

As much as people hate hashtags for some reason, linking them to a separate search page from within the post text like this wouldn't be a bad way to handle them on here.

HAve they ripped off the content too?

Or does that appear to originate from elsewhere?

Hey @TomFulp would newgrounds ever pursue any form of action against a blatant theft of the newgrounds name?

Or is it simply not worth the hassle of legal bullshit?

It's not even on Google when you search "Newgrounds Games".
The views it's getting today is probably the most it's gotten prior to this.

Would be funny if the guys also named Tom too.

As far as I know they're still in business.
Just in business of selling clothing to tools and swaggots.

I read this thread earlier and I read it just now too. I don't really have anything to say about it. I guess that is all I have to say about it. I mean it is one of those things where you go, "Well would you look at that; that's something." I mean what else is there to say about it? Whatever the answer to that question is it won't be me saying it because that is all I can really think of saying.

Doesn't Newgrounds basically have the same name as Neo Geo?
