Wow, so this has become one big flame war against one member of newgrounds... cool... >>;
Give the authors (the good ones, i.e. LegendaryFrog) support, people. It's only fair! They give us great flash films and games, and what do we give them? Jack! Oh, some points... woo!... If you don't like newgrounds, don't come.
(I hope that I sumed this all up for those who are too lazy to read the whole thing)

My frontpage response was originally going to be MUCH NASTIER, but I try not to personally attack users.
Jesus, whoever this dude is needs to learn how to spell. I agree with you, tom on the fact it's the contributors who get the benefit, and people like that are the true assfucks. You should've gotten nasty on his ass, man. he deserved it.
I personally don't care if none of you ever buy anything for anyone. If I can personally do something nice for a few authors, then it is worth it to me.
You forgot to capitilize H, and Tom is a proper noun.
Jesus, whoever this dude is needs to learn how to spell.
I think you mean
Jesus, whoever this guys it, he needs to learn how to spell.
"assfucks." I think you'd spell that Anus-Sex.
Oh and yea I think the paypal is a great idea. Tom's doing to repay the artists for making his sight wonderful and his bandwidth bills in the millions. Oh, and just so you know, ads and things of that sort are used to help cover those costs.
recently inspiron posted i video on the portal entitled where is the love, it is about all the hate in the bbs, and hwo hes agaisnst it And in that song there is a line that goes "why don't you practise what you teache and you turn the other cheak, how can he use the song into context like that when he spocifically dis obeys theese rules!, he is being a hypocrit, look at the post he did the tom brought atention to!
i voted zero! you should to
LSD!
I say we all spam his E-mail,then we trace his phone number and make threats to him and then we open his profile and give 0's to all his movies and make reviews about how much he sucks and his mom's a hoe and stuff like that!Then we trace his address,personally beat him in front his house then go to his school and personally beat him there in front of all the girls in his school,telling how he's gay and has a small penis!
Or we could just spam his E-mails.Also we could be that pizza guy as previously featured in Tommorows Nobodies 5!
"then it is worth it to me" right on tom fuck that ass hole you dont need hes shit i mean you work and you work and put so much time in to this site and what as so as you want a lil money to help out the site and do something nice for the Flash Artists out there and as soon as you ask for something back for all your hard work and the hard work of theres what does some dick head do shits on you and this site fuck him and if he dont like what you do to this site fuck em let him go make hes own site see how that shit turnss out .....ya...ok have fun and i hope that you dont let some dick head like that fuck up your day
Heh. Dude, you are totally in the right here, no doubt. You are doing a great service for NG authors, and that's great.
But hey, why don't you attack people on the front page? You may as well, as posting those stories are going to incite some flames either way. And while it's not the same as going to town on people on the front page where everyone can see, it's not as if the flames aren't a mouse click away should anyone choose to view the comments under the news-story. Now, I'm not at odds with you or what you are doing. Not at all. I just think if you are going to bother briging attention to such insipid shit as this, you might as well tag em for the idtiots they are, and not try and take some imaginary moral high-ground, as we are all here to comment on thier idiocy in your place. It's not as if the board is hidden from public view, after all. :)
THE SOLUTION TO ADS
go to downloads.com and find and download spywareblaster, and spybot (no spybot isnt the cause of the problems, that person lied. its spyware or adware thats the cause. spybot is the cure.) and install the programs, run em, update em, use spybot's scan to eliminate adware/spyware, and use spywareblaster's enormous range of scripts to immunize yourself from the adware/spyware (and, a couple virii, as ive noticed... worms to be specific).
goto the start menu, goto run, type in command, use the dos prompt to get to the directory c:/windows then type in "edit hosts" with no quotes, then press enter, then type in:
"127.0.0.1 localhost"
then on the following lines, as many as you want, you can do something like
"127.0.0.1 ads.track.net"
or
"127.0.0.1 track.net"
track.net is an ad site. you can put whatever site in the place of track.net. whatever you put, will turn the banners from that host, into "this page cannot be displayed" in microsoft's IE.
also, those people who mentioned the google toolbar are right, it does stop all popup windows that are automatically brought up. i use it.
if there is anything i missed, be my guest, tell me what i missed. yes i am completely aware of ad-aware, (accidental pun) but spybot is the better alternative.

Dumbfuck
let me help you dobio... he ment to say "I would love to help anyway i can, that is free, but i dont have an amazon account. Sorry Tom.
is that better?
Every once in very great while comes a ridiculously funny thread. So funny in fact i must put it into my sig http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic /1049194/1
The guy who made the post was Inspiron, and though he swore too much and was crude, and he was wrong about the issue of amazon and paypal etc, but what he said about all the ads and errors...don't you think he was at all right?
There are a lot of ads and errors. Everytime I go to the politics forum, it's "error: the server administrator has been contacted," and I just refresh until it clears.
The ads are even worse. Before I got the pop-up blocker, I would be embarrassed to even come here because I couldn't help the horrible messages that would spring up.
Don't you think that it is ironic that the creator of the site would attempt to do something cool and professional, which is trying to get Alien Hominid into a video game, yet when you see what he has created, you are assaulted by "HELP NEWGROUNDS BY BUYING YOUR OWN FREE INDIAN EZINE, FREE TORTURE EZINE, FREE GRANNY EZINE, FREE RUSSIAN EZINE?" I won't even get into the all the hentai cluttering the screen. I mean, who would want to associate their website with such debase perversions of humanity?
Unless all of you are calling him an asshole because he didn't know how the Amazon pay-pal thing worked, you are all out of line.
I assume that you are all insulting him because he called out TomFulp, and lacked a civil voice. Yet, perhaps he was simply interested in the website because he enjoyed torturing old indo-russians, and assumed that anyone that could join in his pleasure was far beyond the civil line of "fuck" and "shit."
what's ur fucking problem it just doesnt matter! u said that u didnt complain about all this shit on newgrounds at first. for one thing u said that it'd take a long ass time to load movies...well let me think... just get a better computer u cunt ass bitch, and dont give me that im 2 poor excuse! so pretty much its not newgrounds fault its ur computers fault! and all the other crap u were complaining about well remember this is just a website!
ya thats true but thats how newgrounds stays free
unlike <A>www.zipperfish<A>
I dont care if newgrounds has one billion adds , i will always support newgrounds because tom has built this up from nothing this is his pride and joy it is also his job and this site is one of the best sites on the net the person who did say that can go make his own site and see if he can keep it on the top of the water i wouldnt think he could so just shut the hell up whoever did send that message and if you do not like newgrounds why are you posting on it?? so just go ahead and get the hell out of newgrounds's turf you dumbass you should be thanking tom because this is a very very good site and i have recomened it to all my mates anyways dont listen to what that stupid asshole of a prick said and keep doing the site the way YOU want it tom
these ads are one of the few "life support" systems keeping NG alive.
Funny, I have ad blocking software on my machine(s). Thus, I am not exposed to this life support system keeping NG alive. Oh well, I'm sure lots of other people will buy whatever is on the other end of the links.
I hate people who bitch about something that isn't a problem. He was talking like he was being forced to pay money. I dont have Paypal but I am getting a job this month so i'll donate $10 dollars (Canadian...sorry) a month to help pay for hosting costs.....and for the makers of Perfect Kirby.
This whole Pay Pal donation thing is a nice gesture, but most people on the internet are ungrateful greedy bastards who'd rather keep the moeny for themselfs unless you're popular or need it for something.
Example:To keep a webcomic.
If I serious went off saying "Give me donations or else I'd leave this site."
I'd get a bunch of "Good Riddance."
Still you made some people happy. And thats what counts I guess.

I've personally never seen anyone post a wishlist other than an Amazon wishlist (for example, many webmasters post an Amazon wishlist every year for Christmas). I like to support smaller businesses whenever possible, but Amazon and Paypal seemed like the two most common services used by people on-line.
I think eBay has a wishlist, but most people charge way too much for S&H.
"When i started comeing here i could put up with the ungodly amounts of ads and i diden't bitch when the ads started to change my home page every time i went on the net."
Im sorry Tom, ive been a fan of NG for a long time now, but Im going to have to agree with that bit of that guys statement. Because of Newgrounds, I have so many pop up spawn things downloaded onto my computer, without my doing, it makes using my computer almost impossible, I have ads coming up when im not even online. I cant even open games anymore, because the ads come up while Im offline and crash the program.
