I'm gonna try to use Digg to promote more stuff from NG, so if you're on Digg, friend me and keep an eye out for plugs.

Soon we'll be announcing the nominees for BEST OF 2008! Here are last year's trophies in case you never saw them:

[Nogfish]

woohooo awesome submissions everybody

[Spirosgod]

Nice stuff in there :D
Also how can you win 100$???

[SupaAwe03]

Some very good movies and games listed there, very enjoyable and addicting.
By the way, what does the last trophy say in the picture?

[FurryFox]

this was a very great month for flash. also what's this winning $100 about?

The third one says "GAME OF THE YEAR - NG Rumble, by someone"
Not sure about the fourth.

[EmmDubya]

I'm hoping Luis will get the user of the year award again, even if it's two years in a row, he deserves it more than any of us other members right now. It'd be pretty cool to see someone from the Wi/Ht forum winning it this year too, since the majority of the most helpful users I see are from over there. I've honestly got no idea who's going to win, though.

I feel the same way, however it's not much of a suprise at all, that series has thousands of fanboys (barely any of which are over the age of nine) of which vote five on it every single day they see it.

[Whirlguy]

Meet n Fuck shouldn't be in that list in my opinion :/

Spiderpowers for Christmas was not an amazing animation, but was the most Christmassy animation made with giant ammounts of effort. Fourteen minutes of animation and music. It is hands down the most underrated Christmas animation. So there:

• 

  Spider-Powers For XMas 2

  by D-Fear331

  Parker Peterson only wants one thing...

  Movie

  134,728 Views

  (Ages 13+)

BAM.

That's my gem.

[HrMorgaes]

lol staffimation

Anyway, seems all the winners deserved it, except Meet'n'Fuck
Let's just hope that doesn't win anything else ever :D

Also, Tom, could I bribe you to get User of the Year?

[LampFace]

Zanta Claws II deserved it, more in fact better than the rest of them.

[Luis]

i jerked off to meet n' fuck. im glad they won.

Also i would never want to win a trophy twice so no i am passing that baton to whomever was the next user of the year. My trophy was made of chocolate and ive eaten it.

BAM.
That's my gem.

I totally agree with this. Dom Fera clearly worked his ass off on this particular submission, not that any of the artists didn't. However, it was such a unique submission with all of the work he put into writing the songs. HILARIOUS songs at that.
A gem indeed.

[GhandiManCan]

Best month i've ever had on NG! Shame its the only...
When you put them in top 5, is it is order of best 1st and so on?

[RubberNinja]

Can we use Reddit to? :P

[Hacsev]

Great work everyone! I can't wait to see who's going to win the trophies!

I think it's musician of the year - Maestrorage.

[Shadowii2]

Awesome, I voted for all those top five winners in movies.

And... Meet n' Fuck in the top five games and runner ups aswell?
Gimme a break, seriously.

Otherwise nice list this time. I feel sad though, that the Pixelmas Collab didn't get a higher place.

...Who even votes for that Meet n' Fuck stuff? Seriously.

hmm but it's his real name, 'selcuk bor'

[AriaSuperior]

Ha, meet n fuck got fifth place, I think it's the first time i see a game of that nature get an award...
This is a great day for people that do that kind of stuff, lol.

[Jase12]

WOOHOO great submissons every I Like Zeebarf's submisson

[LazyMuffin]

Meet'n'fuck? You guys are douche begs.
I think Tom should have the ability to veto ridiculous stuff, stupid democracy.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GIVE PEOPLE THE RIGHT TO CHOSE, THEY JACK OFF TO STREET RACING AND SANTA. Shame on you, 2,000 active users of the month.

AHGHHTHTHEHRGH.

Thanks for the info Tom :)

Congratulations to the winners.

I'm looking forward to seeing who is in the running for the Best of 2008 and then the winners for the year overall.

[ChandlerThompson]

Achievement Unlocked deserves first place, that game is off the chain.

Basically it's a random user who's deposited his experience at some point during the month. And since there's like a billion of them it's a pretty tough shot.

[Mattster]

I predicted those would win :P

Phew, I thought that that was also for the flash off, I was a little surprised. But it wasn't :P

I should read more often.

Congrats!

Last month was a good month for Newgrounds, probably to do with the festive season or something...

Since Frost'D was a staffimation,

The only bad part about being an NG staff member is that you can never properly win a monthly award.

Oh YOU GUYS.

Guilty as charged for that new M-n-F installment!

[PostTimeskipSam]

Wow, I was just excited to most of my monthly votes on there until....I saw meetn'fuck...Why! there were so many better games out there and they had to pick this one.
