Tom,

man that's also not good to hear. I guess the economy is really shaking things close. If newDgrounds was to scrape in some cash, and it's down...there has to be something else.

I didn't have a good day either, some idiot went to 3rd base with this girl I am eyeing. I only see her at the colleges LAN computers. Maybe she's an idiot for going with this guy. He carried on a conversation from biology to thinking robots. Talk...talk...talk. all it is is crap. Reminds me of that large redheaded neighbor from Small Wonder (the robot girl show). I feel hopeless. someone...restore the hope! There's too much bad news going on.

there is a way to fuck them over. how about posting some valid usernames and passwords on the front page every day. that way ppl can view it and also not pay those bastards that ripped newgrounds off. also i think tom/wade should use the rage of the angry newgrounds fans against the stupid company.

You had the right idea with Newdgrounds. The last poster had a point though. Those free porn sites are going to get most of your biz. After you shut down Newdgrounds why dont you open up another site? You can call it " Newgrounds Platinum " You can put thing there that wont be anywhere else. You can charge a profitable but affordable monthly fee. Just like in Newdgrounds, you can pay authors $$ for quality submissions. I would pay to see a Pico 3. I have seen many things submitted here that are Cartoon Network Quality. Every watch Adult swim? There is stuff here that puts that to shame! You and the top artist here at Newgrounds could make the ultimate pay site! I see you guys are a part of thr Tromaville network. Maybe you could crank out a series of games based off of their movies. I would pay for a well done and bloody Toxic Avenger or Sgt Kabuki Man game. You have the talent and skills to make arcade quality stuff. I am sure that Mr. Kaufman would love the promotion of his films and would probally work some kind of deal with you. You could have Newgrounds visitors submit ideas for cartoons and games that they would like to see. You would never run out of ideas!

I didn't read any one else's posts before posting this so some one might have already said it. But why not sue them?

I don't know if you realize this or not, but their names are FULP not PULP. They are not John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson. Although Tom used to have sorta long hair and Wade has a goatee not as cool as Jackson's though.

I hope you have a lawyer! In this day and age....

As much as I agree with the cause - be careful. As slick and dispicable as these guys are.. They are probably, in the strictest sense, acting within the law. Even if they are exploiting loopholes and fineprint. Why should I bring up such a point, instead of making a gung-ho emotional reaction?

I'm sooooo not a lawyer, but that public outburst could get you in a lot of shit. Think about it, we have been in shit for much less. Slander intending to cripple a website thats worth $70g... gee i wonder what could possibly go wrong there. Newgrounds has always been in miscellaneous legal trouble for trivial things. But something like this could potentially cripple your livelihood and I for one do not want to lose Tom or newgrounds.

Free speach it maybe. Assholes they are. But we live in a world where wars are fought with paper and suits and legal precedence. Dont go to war unarmed!

Sweet mercilus crap! This is indeed a disturbing development. Damn those crooks they jibbed NG! They have no honor bah what pigs all you guys wanted was to make an honest buck. I say sue the bastards and get the money you deserve. Damn I hope you guys can get some more founding it would totally suck if NG went under.I spend an average of about 30 to 60 mins on this site everyday.

Go get em NG!

NG stuff can outdo theirs anyday! I'd like to see any of the crap they offer compare to Qi, Madness Redeemer, Johnny Rocketfingers, or Tactics Core!

Like Stroke 9 says, "How many people wanna kick some ass? I do, I do! How many people sick of holdin' it back? I am!"

Hey lucky you! You got fucked! I mean fucked in the ass. Although I could of already guess that Newdgrounds was going to fail. Sorry man. Maybe there will be another way to save the website. Maybe make an online game people have to pay to play. I dunno. You could work on it though.

Oh Ladies I have a tip for you if you wanna plaster those things across bare skin. When you rip them off they will hurt.

Do what you have to do. If they have been screwing you out of money, it's only fair that you hit them where it hurts most. Their wallets (Which is probably packed with thousands of more dollars from you and your staff's hard work.)

WTF?!??! I'll kick their lazy miserable bitchy asses for U Tom.
That's why I've been wary to team Section 8 Studios up with people who want to make money. ONce money is in the picture, it's harder to focus soleley on delivering enjoyable content because you're always wrapped up in who owes who what and who makes what money.
One popup is fine by me, we can just let Hooch buy us dinner every once in awhile.
PEace!

I didn't think that it was a very good idea anyways. People come to this site to submit their flash movies and games and also to watch other peoples' as well. Newgrounds was never meant to be a porn site. However, I do understand that you guys needed money.

I forgot to say this last time. That LA company is just full of greedy double-crossing fat business freaks. Well...what else could you expect from a porn company?
