Well, I'm depositing from now on ^^

Wait a second. I thought it was for voting, not for submitting. Huh. Am I wrong, with this (possibly stupid) assumption??

Brush up on your NG terms buddy. Depositing is voting.

Websites wider than 800x600 are terrible.

That means that many people who visit the site have to scroll left and right.

And nobody likes that.

Keep the site the way it is. There's no reason to make it wider just because some people use 1024. They can see it fine, but if you widen the site for them, people like me won't be able to.

The announcement of "Cash for Flash" has raised some questions about prizes for non-artists. I decided that although I gave up on the console contest, I could just send a check out each month to a random voter. I decided on $100 to get things started.

Yay thats really cool of you to give 100$ I hope i win cuz i need sum dough ....anyways thnks for leaving the site 800x600 i was kinda scaredd there for a second thinking that there would be no more newgrounds !!
`tom is so coool`

MONEY IS GOOD!

and the monthly portal thing is a good idea too..

RoFL, it should go to a regular user, or just draw a name out of a hat.

I'll still deposit anyways.

I am a religous depositor.

What will James come up with next? Sounds awesome, can't wait!

A Year of depositing eh?

What level is that?

Tom, you spend more money like 50cent. How big are the rims on your car?

Wow. . . THX TOM. Imagine all the possibilites with $100. . .

You really are generous! I should be paying you for letting me post submissions and to view other submissions! Another great idea, although I feel that there should be some more requirments to recieve this monthly random voter prize. Oh well. Great idea!

It's not about the requirements being high, it's about them being low so that more users have the ability to enter. You don't see some sort of in depth problem to solve under a pepsi cap.

That's cool that we can get money for just depositing. There's no cheating even possible there... except alternate accounts and stuff, but that'd only give you like a 2 in 686,000 chance of winning. Cool. So, I still have a chance at winning money even if my videos suck! YAY!

I heard you was makin' AH for nintendo ds.cool. I needz da hundred bucks so i can get a psp. (I already have DS)

Even though many people have said this site has changed so much and is now lame and more "politically correct", I still think of it as the most unique place on the internet. One single person giving away money just because he can, to someone RANDOM, is just great. Hope everything goes along fine with all this charity. Go Tom!

Are you just saying that cause your level 12 or is that right... I don't care cause by the time this thing gets up and running I'll be level 12...

the more you post about prizes, the more motivated I get to finish my latest game. I love NG!

I didn't mean like a lot of experience or anything. Just that someone who may have voted for a friends crappy entery when they called up and that is the only thing they ever voted for or something doesn't end up with a hundred bucks. Well, I guess this couldn't happen because they would need an account, but they should give it to someone who rarely visits newgrounds and has deposited like, once or twice.

What about minors? I know you cant get the 250 for your flash if you are a minor, is it the same thing for the random 100$ prize as well?

The checks are actually more complex than just total # of experience points. :)

I haven't missed a deposit since 2002, give me money.

no vacations? cause thats insane.

I guess all this cash is still only a drop in the bucket in comparison to all the other expenses. heh.

Thats really cool. I wish i could make a flash or something.

Tom I have NO IDEA how to get ahold of you, I want to Affilate My .com with youres Please Email me at Jackalesia@msn.com or hit me up on AIM as Andthenshutup Thanks Tom

Dammit... I decided to get back into NG in late July of 2004, I don't have a year of deposits yet.

Oh well, maybe next year. :)

Wow, your just a regular Santa Claus aren't you? You make me feel like going out and doing some nice stuff. Meh, I will...in a minute. No, seriously just give me a sec.

Does it take into account people with slightly less than a year worth of deposits but an obvious aptitude at voting on flash?
