I was lying in a near catatonic state in the fetal position on the floor in a pool of my own sic from massive NewGrounds withdrawal. It's worse than detoxing from Heroin I hear.

Yo jackass, this is a forum where people say what they want, so pardon me if i took it the wrong way, however i was able to make my point with resorting to to gradeschool name calling. SO FUCK OFF

well at first i thought man this sucks. but since it was down i actually went outside. then the most amazing thing happened. i got a really good job with a tech company, moved out of my parents house, got myself a new car, got married to the girl of my dreams, and won a trip around the world. but then the minuite newgrounds came back all the sudden i lost my job, got evicted, my car got reposed, my wife divorced me, and the trip around the world was just a hoax. ever since newgrounds came back ive been depressed, sad, and lonley. i also decided to spacle my ass hole shut. life is good *sobs*.

Yep, my theory is true, It wasn`t my connection. Not that I didn`t ever know that
I got lots of distressed emails, as did a bunch of other sites! I'm glad that people care. :)
I sent you one!! You didn`t reply. I never send back to people who don`t reply.
Be sure to tell all your friends that NG is back up! You can always use the "Tell a Friend" feature underneath your favorite movies. Maybe the traffic-loss will make the site run better!
I did even better!!! There is a banner on my site!!
Anyway... I'm glad the site is back up. What was it like for four days without NG? Some of the emails I got sounded like they couldn't live without it!!!

:It was hard, but in the time I changed my site totally, made a flash movie and signed up at EntropicOrder.com!!!

P.S Troma is lazy and stupid!!!

i had a hard time sleeping while NG was down. :-D

Response to Downtime 2001-12-05 05:27:48


well i was working from 3 till 11 anyway so i didnt have much time to go on newgrounds but i have to say i was starting to have panic attacks. another day without newgrounds and i might have done something extremely mental. such as listening to nstink and actually liking it.

I missed you guys!!! U know,this is the most cool site ever,even here in Belgium (u know,Belgian chocolates) it's famous. Keep this shit up and stay of those servers!!!

Response to Downtime 2001-12-05 06:55:46


It was pretty bad. I didn't realize how often I went to Newgrounds. What about all the chances at lost experience points? Can't we get a chance to redeem those lost opportunities? 4 days of downtime is 40 experience points. I could've used those.

Response to Downtime 2001-12-05 06:59:06


Well, with NG down, I started surfing other sites again. Found some good stuff like http://www.ultrashock.com that I'll be going back to, but I'm still glad NG's back!

I heard it said once "they'd have to steal back every 2400-baud modems from granpa's attic to stop the interNET from transmitting...

Seriously, I felt a NG[klone]CD in the pipe-line ~ but it ain't legal teknikal diffikulties after all (...least yet ;O) so We'z just gonna settle back down fer a bit o' web-(viewing)-parlor-style instead.

Having NG back is great. I feel this site is a public service to us geeks everywhere. :) Totally bored without it guys! Good job on bringing it back!

I liked this site when my movie was the only thing on the front page. That rocked untill Tom went and fixed it. Now my front page exposure is ruined...RUINED!

Newgrounds! Newgrounds, your so fine,
your so fine you blow my mind, newgrounds!

4 days of horrible agonising tedium, I looked away from my monitor looked at what my life had become and cried, cried like a baby, a bit fat 700lb baby. No sorry ladies, I'm spoken for.

Thank God Newgrounds is back up! I was going insane without it! Keep up the good work Tom!

Tom! You had me worried I thought that I would never see Newgrounds again... I had to watch Mr T comics over the net to keep me suspended, I need my Assasin! Where would I be without killing Puff Daddy about 4 times??

Finally, I can get back to reviewing flash work. Thanks for sucking away my time, Newgrounds!

Response to Downtime 2001-12-05 13:12:17


So.............Im finally able to get some decent interent amusement after I seem to have bled the rest of the web dry of any interest. Plus I can finally rectify myself after telling my firends about this good website that didn't fucking work and made me look like a right dickhead!! ( no smart comments to this statement plz) Thanks so much . Now me and my kitty cat can sit here and have some fun anf frolics with out having to resort to torturing xians on msn!!
