Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Who deals with the economical issues anyway? Is it all you, or shared between you and Bob since he's dealing with the store? That have to be a downside of having a company of your own if you have to deal with those things... unless you actually enjoy economics and all that jazz.

I can hardly keep my own personal economy in order, which is why i've worked and saved up alot of money from the past for future unexpected expences. :)

Wow another way for uncle sam to suck you dry. Wahoo for taxes.

Congrats winner.

And it's been a year?! :O

(not that I was here then or anything :3)

So did you end up spending a lot because of the the audit? or did you manage to not do so bad after finding all the receipts and records?

How much did you have to pay as a result of the Audit in the end, Tom?

A lot has been going on, cingrats to the winner.

To participate in the raffle, all you need to do is vote on five submissions while logged in. Every day I run a raffle script based on activity from the previous day, and a winner is declared!

Congratulations TheMentalInstitute! I only have a few more chances to win though. Here's to hopeful thinking.

Tomorrow is the one year anniversary since the redesign launch! Almost one year ago, we launched a new version of NG with 100% compliant html and a dramatically overhauled back-end. Every single page underwent a dramatic visual overhaul and we introduced some really pretty audio visualizations for the Audio Portal. It might not sound like a lot in retrospect, but it represented two years of hard work by the team and a lot of stress.

I wish I was around for the redesign, but I didn't start coming back to newgrounds until after it happened. The last time I was on before the redesign was in 2004 and you could still change your name and the profiles weren't anything too great.

So what has happened in the year since? That's what this post is all about!

We announced winners for the Rock Out contest, showed off the redesign at Comic-Con, celebrated Clock Day, had a Castle Crashers music contest (many of the winners are in the final game), unveiled a spiffy reskin for Madness Day, enjoyed our second annual Treasure Hunt, did some pumpkin carving, made some spooky Flash for a Halloween competition, got charitable, unveiled the Penicorn plush and Tankman figure, gave away a bunch of Wacoms, won XBLA game of the year on Kotaku with Alien Hominid HD, painted some Munnys, celebrated Pico Day, represented at Big Apple Con in NYC and announced the winners of our first annual awards, featuring tank trophies that I still need to send out (OMG I'M SO SORRY).

I see why you guys are so busy. Doesn't look like your ever going to get a break. Keep up the good work though because we really do appreciate it.

Despite all this, we still managed to finish Castle Crashers! It didn't make it in time for Comic-Con, but we came close enough and I'm just happy to be done. Kotaku has posted some pics from E3.

There are always things that go wrong with the good isn't there?

Although much of my time has been spent programming Castle Crashers, Liljim, PsychoGoldfish, Bob, Tim and Rob (and before him, Ross) have been diligently working on big things for NG. This year has been about INFRASTRUCTURE, which I'll explain TOMORROW.

Can't wait for the news post tomorrow for both the winner and more news from you.

Congrats to winner, cool stuff has happened since redesign.

Nice! Congratz to the winner!

BUT I WANNA WIN TOO!

Hopefully in the year from now until the second year anniversary of the redesign will be more prosperous and wonderful.

I wuv you Tom

Im truly happy for newgrounds at this point
Youve accomplished so much after the redesign..
Its just so stellar to look back at it all now

Now we just have to wait for a chat room and something to replace the "Some account tyoe thingy here"

Congrats NG admins and mods

Congrats to the winner.

Why you do this?

Awesome job with CC it looks awesomer than I´ve expected, I am ttly puschasing it!

Those damn auditors... don't they know what NG is? You should have opened a can of Madness on the state of PA, Tom.

Actually, scratch that idea.

Fuck yeah

Liar. The NG MAG page still looks the same as it fucking did when it launched in 03 or 04. It hasn't even been updated in over 3 years. Maybe 4.

Wow, it's already been a year since we stopped bitching about 'when the redesign would come out'.
These last years i've got into the conclusion that a year is a very short amount of time.

Doesnt the goverment have enough money, they get into all that trouble for relatively a little bit more. It's not as if youre a bad citizen who never pays taxes.. or are you? >.>

Woah, tomorrow is the big anniversary.

jeeez just release CC already

Yay, another possibly long post!

Congratulations to the winners!

So im guessing castle crashers is going to be for a console right?

Which one?

Ya awesome another redesing at first l will be rly confused then l will be rly happy.Congrats to the winner this day awesome.

UGH! Audits!! I feel your pain because the EXACT same thing happened to me!! They went back seven years in my case, but luckily, I keep everything too. The estimated 12 grand (I'm no Newgrounds, thank God!) ended up being only 12 thousand (stupid Use tax!!)... but it still sucked... and took like 5 months. Such bullshit!
