You see guys, and I am sure you have all noticed this.
Newgrounds has seen better days, much better.
Everyone lately, is so immature, and the threads are just not the same.
The photoshop threads used to be great.
The users used to be great.
The posts used to be great.
Everything is changing rapidly.
The Newgrounds crisis is getting worse daily.
It is more of an issue then global warming is now.
We must act, some how, and some way, there IS a way to fix this.
We just have to work together.
Here are some quick tips to stop the tragic crisis of Newgrounds.
1. Make your posts or threads meaningful, and make sure people actual give a shit about what you're telling them.
2. Good grammar! One of the most important parts of posting on NG. Nobody wants to read a thread with terrible grammar, type with correct spelling, and punctuation or whatever that word is...
3. Flaming, nobody likes fighting on NG, some people might, but I think it's getting too out of hand, yes, we have all caused some little fights on the internet, nobody is fooled when somebody says that they haven't. It needs to stop, think of Newgrounds back in 05 or 06, think of it now, look at how much it has changed, and honestly, the changes are not good with the users.
4. Opinions, opinions are important, but make sure you do not offend anybody, I mean, it's fine to kid around with other users who know you are kidding around, but sometimes sarcasm is hard to read over the internet. If you are posting in a thread, lets say. . . Based upon black people, nobody wants somebody going in to that thread saying something like " I hate those damn n words." It's just not funny, and it never was.
5. Photoshop Threads, these threads are awesome, I love them. But sometimes you need to stop and think before you make one, is this going to be a good one? Am I wasting my time posting this? Is EyeLovePoozy just going to delete it right away? Am I going to get banned for posting this? Stop, and think, and then make the right decision.
6. Respect for other users, some users you may not like, others you may love.
If you are thinking about making a thread, just to tell one user something, ( and yes, this does happen) you should stop, and realize that you can PM that user, instead of letting everybody on NG know about your feelings for this user. Half the time, we do not care.
7. Spam Threads, these are just a big waste of time. Posting 5 words in a thread is a big mistake, unless you can really get the meaning across, the chances of that thread getting deleted are big, lets try and put an end to that.
There are many more things I can come up with, but my hands are getting sore from typing all this stuff.
You might think, oh, Epicfail is an 07'er what does he know.
And yeah, I did make this account in 07, but I also have an account from 04, or 05, can't remember the year. That account is here just so you guys know.
Thanks for reading, and lets hope for a better future for newgrounds, lets hope for a great 2009! Lets make a change to newgrounds, and lets make it less immature, and better in general.
