Newgrounds turning into /b/?

[lunardragon96]

I have come across this statement multiple times, and each one made me look a bit further. Is Newgrounds really turning into /b/? If so, we need to limit the amount of internet memes and 4chan references we use. Seriously. There's a limit on how many laz0r jokes you can make before it gets old, and there's more than enough 'Grab his cock' statements on General today. We need to try and pace ourselves a bit, and think before we act. Take these words in, and I don't care if you ignore it at first. Just remember this one thing before you post:

"Does this break the rules?"

Because, if nobody thinks this over, the entire population of Newgrounds is screwed.

(Shortened version: Remember the rules, or we all are fucked)

I get a bad feeling about this thread...

[aninjaman]

Newgrounds has a long way to go to get to /b/.

[chaw]

your sig, "this post is now incredibly fucking epic" is, in a way, as bad as "grab his/her cock".
your always going to get memes and stuff leaking into newgrounds, and the younger users will always find them amusing and follow on, but the point of newgrounds' bbs (at least what I consider it to be) is digging through shit to find the bits of diamond sticking out.
theres good content on newgrounds, and there has always been immature users.
with popularity comes immaturity, really.

Why we will never become /b/

[InsertFunnyUserName]

Yes, because complaining is going to magically fix everything. Hell, if that theory worked, my English essay would magically be done right now.

Nobody follows the rules any more. It's a shame, really.

[AnonymousAlchemist]

Newgrounds? In my /b/? No! That could never happen. My zombie hoard will never allow it!

[FUNKbrs]

4chan is our bitch

Our users were doing all that shit YEARS before that bullshit chan shit. It's not US becoming /b/, it's /b/ becoming NG.

Ever notice how we never get raided?

BULLSHIT

We get raided CONSTANTLY, but our code and mods are so tight NOONE EVEN NOTICES.

NG rocks this motherfucker.

That is a lie. Of course people follow the rules. Do you see this place run amock with spammers and trolls like on /b/? No, you don't, because people follow the rules and anyone who doesn't is usually punished by one of the many moderators we have.

[sirtom93]

The fact that the bbs has nazi bitch mods means we are nothing like a chan board.

[OneLastCaress]

We're the closest thing on the internet outside of 4chan to /b/

[Conal]

I found this on there...

Your a tard. I'm not even going to justify that statement.

Well, We DO have a better structure...

Our users were doing all that shit YEARS before that bullshit chan shit. It's not US becoming /b/, it's /b/ becoming NG.

That would mean they are calming down...I mean WE are losing IQ by the minute.

No...Remember the "SO I HERD U LIEK MUDKIPZZ" raid in September (Or October)?

BULLSHIT

We get raided CONSTANTLY, but our code and mods are so tight NOONE EVEN NOTICES.

We still have some problems, though...

NG rocks this motherfucker.

...I'm not saying it doesn't. You mods do very good work. I'm just saying we have some users who overkill on the memes.

[Dragoonwing]

Newgrounds will never become /b/. We'll get /b/tards every once and a while but we'll never become /b/. And that's because we have rules and mods that do what they can to prevent that from happening.

[Conal]

This is serious!!

some how my phone number magically found its way on 4chan 0_0

Somebody find a way to shut him up. Seriously. Newgrounds has enough /b/tards, even though many get deleted.

Also, yes, I know what NG was like last year, and the year before that, all the way up until '05. It was like YouTube, only with twice the trolls.

What are you new to the internet? 4Chan is in no way calming down and is continuing to do the same shit that's it alive. Only reason NG seems to be getting dumber is we're getting more and more ignorant people.

I was only having an ironic, sarcastic, topic related laugh.

You could have posted something like...

[Scuzzfest]

That's why we ban poeple for almost all 4chan memes like "grab his cock", "rape her" and "do a barell roll" etc?

And the mods ban those users, I have been banned for using 4chan memes before. Just because some NGers use memes doesn't mean this whole place is going to /b/. Im thinking you're overeacting.

Last post before bed...

Ooh, look! CP:

[SU1CIDEB0MB3R]

newgrounds will never be /b/ because it doesnt tolerate the immoral hatred i am known to unleash thats why i get banned all the time. it also doesnt tolerate freedom of speech and it loves to censor

[TiredTyler]

Newgrounds has sort of been downgrading over the years, but it will never be as dumb as the 4chan crew. 4chan wins the award for the dumbasses of the internet.

I agree...I guess.
Either way all 4chan stuff is old, even their new things are old here. Whenever someone does something /b/ related they get dealth with and its so easy to ignore anyone that comes in thinking they are cool taking things from /b/ I have still never been to that imageboard and I don't plan to as it's clearly just going to be a load of boring shit.

it also doesnt like punctuation or capitalization

Jesus, guys. Stop trying to convince me that Newgrounds is on the verge of /b/tardedness.

[unbelivable]

OH so i heard you liek mudkips?

im firing my lazer

post ending in 69 decides what i do with my penis

CP FOR TEH WIN?

PEDO BEAR

copypasta

creepypasta

:ur doin it wrong

[Dragoonwing]

No you THINK it's on the verge of becoming /b/ but this place has a long way to go. Besides if you haven't noticed there are websites far worse than us OP. I am of course talking about GameFAQs and Youtube. In terms of stupidity on the internet this is the scale from dumbest to smartest:

1) 4Chan
2) Youtube
3) GameFAQs
4) Newgrounds

That's it. So basically we have to get GameFAQs stupid before we're even close to 4Chan.
