What would you do if you owned newgrounds?

I'm asking because I don't know what I'd do.

eBay, obviously. Just to see how much someone would be willing to pay.

Probably sell it back to Tom for a slightly higher price. It's a double win: I make a small profit, and the site goes back into the hands of its one true owner.

The latter of those decisions is a bad one.

No it isn't, because seeing how you'd all react would amuse me.

Newgrounds is worth somewhere around 10-14 million dollars as far as I've heard, so assuming I spent that money to buy it, I would either sell it off at a higher price to make a profit or if I determined that I could make a profit back in a reasonable amount of time from just the sales and ads from the website I might keep it.

I wouldn't change much except I'd get rid of the any notion that the NG chat is coming out any time soon (it's not) and I'd either do something with NG Mag or get rid of it completely depending on the enthusiasm there is about it. I'm sure other ideas would come about later on.

Or just ditch the project whilst you're ahead and prevent the inevitable shitstorm of immaturity and attention whoring.

I'm really not a big fan of chatrooms.

Not everybody is you. Actually when I left for a while SOMEONE ELSE made a thread about it.

Plus i'd actually be even more satisfied if Bauman was left with something useless whilst I enjoyed the money he payed for it.

And what's stopping him from selling it again?

Delete the Video Games forum, then sell it back to Tom with a contract saying that he can't remake it.

Get Stamps to re-color the site layout. Then sell it back for more.

Actually I was very wrong. I'm not sure where I got over 10 million but after doing some research I found this. I think if Tom actually were to sell it, he could get away with more than that though if he negotiated it out.

1. I'd make it a public company
2. Give the ability to embed a rick roll video into your BBS post
3. Bring back animated gif sigs
4. Make the bytsize playerGigabytesize
5. Make a phony post in WadeFulp's account that he is entering a beauty pagent.
