Assuming that you leave Newgrounds for a very long time, and come back, what do you think it would be like? Will Tom's son, run the site?

Will the chat be up? Do you think Newgrounds will even be here?

Also, what regulars now do you think will still be here in 15 years?

I imagine that everyone will be gone and NG will look a lot like youtube.

If NG is still here, it will be incredibly corrupt. None of the regulars now will have left in disgust, the Portal will be filled with spam and save-whores. Although if it every got to that, hopefully Tom would shut the site down. At least for a while.

It'll be like Fallout 3 compared to Oblivion.

No longer shitty interaction and the same three lines of dialogue regardless of who you talk to, but on the other hand, it'll be a ravaged wasteland.

Ng Chat will be almost done.
I'm sure it will turn into a big deal for anything involving internet and creating stuff.

I'd be 28 and I'll tell them about 2008.

5 Site Re-designs
All the episode names for Super Mario Bros Z will be taken by some spammy dickweeds.
BannanaBreadMuffin will really be a nazi mod.
More than 2000000 portal submissions, 1200000 will be spam and/or cock jokes.
The kitty faic icon will be added.

I could go on and on.


We had some good times, Newgrounds.

I think it'd turn into a 4chan2. Toms son wouldn't run it in 15 years but perhaps he would have some sort of job on here at 15 but at 20 I think he'd run it. Otherwise that's it.

Well, I guess Johnny Utah's Tankmen episodes already portray a slight metephore for the future of newgrounds.

And the chat will still not be up.

I agree, it would be depressing, all your old friends no longer use it, and it would probably be in shitstate without Tommo.

I'd be in my 30's by then... But I can see myself logging in quietly behind my computer at work, hiding the fact that I still enter NG to my wife & my sons... God, if my kid ever saw me on NG, I'd probably lose my ability to ground him for watching unsuitable things.


Lucky? My middle name is Luck. Bad is my first name, tho.

Assuming of course it isn't locked.

We'll force someone to unlock it. It's a historical thread now.

NG would be completely revamped, and its popularity will be rivaling that of Facebook and MySpace. Also, Tom's son will run the site and there will be more mods. Which means that there will never be a second when no mods are online. But before you start calling me a moron, let me tell you that the mods will be nicer and won't be nazis.

I started newgrounds since like 2001 XD the only time I ever quit was for like 6 months then when I came back on I forgot my password so I created this account.....Ever since that say I've regreted my username.

But the differences well pretty massive, but I've seen some pictures back then and I still remember some of the games (rooftop skater, ganguru girl (I had early puberty)). Every year though I see mroe people joining with little IQ...Usually now I only listen to people with a level over 10 atleast.

Younger and Younger kids are gonna start using the internet, then they'll get to pre-teen stage and become little smartasses...then they infest newgrounds. It's really inevitable unless someone thinks of an idea.
