That inst too effective than sharing links to animations hosted in Newgrounds using social pages
We need to spread content too, so more people enters in the website

I think it'd be cool if you just did subscription packages for certain better features. Like a customizable profile feature, stuff like that.

Is it going to be worth contacting you regarding sponsorship over the next couple months, or should we look elsewhere (with a heavy heart) this time?

Also, have you ever thought of creating NG as more of a logo, or a business ideal as well? As in, creating actual games for PC and supporting developers of those games, supporting the audio artists as well. You know? I mean like, signing the Audio Artists as Newgrounds Artists and releasing their albums and such and such, I don't know, just a thought.

I haven't been active on Newgrounds for ages, but damn! Without you guys I would have never taken up this whole flash stuff and wouldn't have ended up living the rockstar life* of a webdev freelancer. There you go <3**

*not living an actual rockstar life

Make sure you don't have httpS tacked to the beginning of the URL. It seems that once you've been on https://whatever.com, both chrome and firefox both default to that every time you enter the domain name into your browser.

You can always contact me when you have stuff up for sponsorship... I have gone through periods where I try not to look at stuff because it's like a gambler walking into a casino when he knows he can't afford it, but I try to keep on top of it.

and if we get 10,000 supporters, will that provide enough money to develop pico 2?

no, doesn't seem like that was it. maybe the problem is caused by chrome cropping the "http://"? (either that, or chrome is hiding from me that it tries to use https)

either way, i'll keep posting from firefox for now ;)

So you're admitting that you'd like to pay to be a spammer?

Wouldn't it just be simpler, to post and review within the rules and guidelines that have been set out for everyone's benefit, not just everyone else's.

Any plans to offer payment options other than credit cards?
I don't have one, and last time I did (when I was in college) I missed a bunch of payments and fucked my credit up, so I haven't gotten another one.

Suppose I could get one of those prepaid ones, but in my experience they get declined from online merchants a lot.

Oh you lovely Newgrounds. For many years you've been my sanctuary. I will do whatever I can to help! Newgrounds inspire, Newgrounds helps us develop our skills and express ourselves to an enthusiastic crowd.

Thank you Tom and the Newgrounds staff! Keep rocking. Hard.

Warm regards,
Dan

Sent him a PM. Hopefully I'll be able to donate to NG. Lord knows this site has given me thousands of hours of entertainment over the years.

Response to Support Newgrounds! 2012-09-18 17:16:53


I plan on it when the money comes by, in the meantime a link for donations is in my signature, close enough for now.

I would like to think that I've helped Newgrounds over the years by moderating the site, performing various community based projects and whatnot. But in reality, I haven't helped Newgrounds. I've been cleaning what I consider to be my "home" on the Internet. A place where I meet and talk to friends whom many share my interest(s). Goof around, have a fun time watching movies on a short break, listening to unheard music (hipster goes FAPFAPFAP) and sometimes playing a fun webgame.
Where could I othervice do this for free?
No, I've never helped Newgrounds, I've been part of a fun community based on a site where you can do all these things for free. Things that other members of the community created. I've never helped Newgrounds, I've helped maintaining my and many others home on the web. And I'm damn proud of having been part of this community.
In a specific way (that I won't mention in detail WINK WINK, TOM;) Newgrounds and Tom have helped me in getting my current dreamjob, working with sound for the games studio Dice. Even if I'm not rich, and even if I because of the same job don't have much time to spend on Newgrounds nowadays, I still visit "home" at least 3-4 times/week - and you bet your ass I think that the least I can do is to show my support!

Newgrounds is an honest site who is honest about its current situation. It is, like Tom mentions, a site not dependent on any large "evil soul-less corporation". I dearly hope that this fact and honesty will surge through the Internet and that NG will grow, because You and I who are members of this community deserves it. Yeah yeah yeah, also Tom and the staff deserves this for creating and maintining the place, I guess... ;)

Lots of <3 to Newgrounds, from me to everyone!
