Someone brought up a really good point.
What have you (you being most of the people in the thread that are not artists) contributed to newgrounds? SS was the first for a lack of a better word "break" for many artists. Now, I am not a big fan of some of their flashes, but they were an asset to newgrounds and very underappreciated.
I think a better solution than simply killing off SS would have been a split off of some sort.
I suggest that some of the old members restart SS. And when I say old members I mean hardcore dedicated ones, the founders. Step out of the ashes. If there is to be another SS, it has to have its roots.
To the members of SS that wanted higher quality flashes:
I suggest that you take the rest of the SS that was like minded and form a seperated group. After all, you are the people that deviated from what the SS clearly was.
Either way, I am sure either group could do well if it only tried to.
