i don't know if it's just me,but i'm having trouble actually getting to the screen of a flash that says "play this movie".everything else is fine,but thats acting screwy,any ideas?

Nice. I think you're overly obsessive with pico, though. I mean, he covers the 20 daily features thing! He shouldn't be representing movies that have nothing to do with him. The one with him balancing on the flash file is nicely done. Also, the flash at the top is awesome. If you need some photoshop work for any banners, feel free to ask. I got some nice stuff myself:

Im loving it, keep up the great work, althought there is one thing i will always miss...

the flash at the top of the portal page is differnt now. It looks great how it is, but im going to miss clicking on the flash's coming from the buses entering the portal, i was hoping one day i would blam them all so the population would be 0 >=D

but oh well...times must change

keep up the good work newgrounds crew.

Yeh, I saw a slow down when u move ur mouse over the under judgement movies, when that little info box pops up it would slow the flash and everything down :-(


I've ordered a new database server! It's a beefy bastard that almost costs as much as a low-end car, but it should process your data a helluva lot faster than before. Of course, we'll just end up getting more users and it will slow down again.

Jesus christ man, thats insane. Fair play, ng will just improve time and time again. Imagine where this site will be in a year! Insane.


We also have two more webservers on the way to handle dynamic page processing, and will be putting the old database server on general webserving duties as well. I still need to order a new SWITCH, because we are out of ports to plug this stuff into. Fun, right?

Sounds good, its gotta b fun.


You have probably noticed by now that we updated the Portal frontpage! Big up to Stamper once again! What are your thoughts?

Who is this stamper guy, is it Will Stamper? His site doesn't work :0 but the portal frontpage is fucking awesome, did he do the flash cos it rewels!

Excellent changes, an inspirtation, fucking amazing tom.

he more users also means more movies more movies means more good movies so keep em coming (also more crap to blam :p)

Why doesnt tom just have people donate old equipment to the site, I know I have an old switch thats been in my garage for years I wouldnt mind sending in. I imagine that with as many people that use newgrounds these days there has to be somebody with an older server they wouldnt mind parting with. You could even hold a contest to award exp. points or something better. just an idea.

I'm already feeling a tad nostalgic for the school bus
but the new flash is good in its own right.

I have a request: would you please make some simple link, image or anything else to sign in. I'm using a popupstopper, but since the sign in menu is in flash that gets blocked to (don't ask me why is was different before) maybe just a little link at the bottom off the site, along with "Contact Us! | Privacy Policy | | Adult Links | FREE Hentai"

You probably won't even listen to my problems.
As you never do, but it is very annoying shutting off/and on that lovely blocker.

P.S. That blocker's gettin damn populair! So you better grant my request!

Pico has everything to do with NG. He's the mascot and a big part of their history, not to mention still having one of the best games on here, after all this time. And I'm sure Pico 2 is gonna be pretty crazay. Some day.............

Hm... I didn't notice the population going down.. oh well, I'm still gonna miss it. And the chickens you could shoot. Maybe you should keep those two animations on NG Lit, along with a copy of the old front page, for nostalgic purposes..
