"Hi, you 're Tom Fulp from newgrounds?, right?
I've got a small problem;
I remember when i discovered newgrounds 6 months ago, i sat and vote just to get better status, then suddently, i Votes "0" on a movie i hadn't seen, just to get the statuspoints, then, there was a flash movie wich said; "BANG, you have killed this movie"... Later, when i saw the movie, (i voted while it was loading), I really liked the movie, it was like someone had filmed himself while he was falling down some stairs and really had put down very much time working with the movie...
Am I a bad person?, i fell so sad for what i 've done..
/Ron"
TOM'S RESPONSE:
No, Ron, you aren't a bad person. However, it was irresponsible of you to vote haphazardly on movies simply to gain points and status in the Newgrounds community.
It is your civic duty to view and evaluate each submission you intend to vote on. How would you like it if a police officer pulled you over and gave you a ticket, simply to fill his quota? He didn't care whether you were speeding or not, he just wanted to give out his tickets for the day.
That would not be very nice, which is why police officers must adhere to a strict code of honor and only punish those who drive too fast.
Using the noble police officer as a role-model, you must vote on movies based on their merits, not your personal agenda.
The movie you voted on was most likely a bad movie; otherwise it would not have been so close to the "BLAM" threshold. Unfortunately, we will never know because it has been cast away from the site for all eternity.
What makes me more concerned is the movies you did not manage to delete - the ones who's scores now bear the permanent scar of your reckless voting. Their blood is on your hands, Ron.
But you can redeem yourself. From now on, use your best judgment when voting on movies. Not for the sake of gaining points, but for the sake of making Newgrounds a better place for society as a whole.
Ron is a pussy. Who gives a fuck if you blam some shit movie?? I'm sure God will not strike you down Ron. He might anally rape you with a spiked pogo stick with an everlasting gobstopper at the end, though. P.S. Tom or anyone who knows the answer to this.........do the Light and Dark auras come from review ratings, voting or both combined???

I sometimes have thesame problem and i've found an answer to it:
Write a Review every day before you vote, you'll have to sign in that way and mostly it'll work that way, sending a msg will prboarly work too.

blamming=evil
This really sucks.everybody if you have a problem deal with it your fucking self. Tom hardly ever responds to posts its wade. With all the posts this week its hard to keep track he wont answer you! Try restarting your computers and calling you server provider to see if it's your problem before asking tom.
Thank you,

Hey hey hey Tom!
Love this damn website, so cool, a big congrats and nice work from developing, I am looking to do something myself in this sort of catagory.
I am 15 M Australia (Philip Stewart)
Have been doing Flash for a while and moved on to MX, I have some questions to ask for a response from a guy with knowledge from this background.
1) Suppose I was to do a website like this, not so much like but, what would be the business background in it, a view tips of starting off and developing.
2) How you get so good at drawing, as such EXAMPLE *I mean, look at Pico* Great artwork, any tips in doing these sorts of pictures. I always drawed them on paper and scaned them in.
3) Animation is such a hard task, well not so much hard right, depends the way you look at it. I am looking at this as in animation a cartoon, how do you get the legs and arms, mouth etc to move individualy and so perfect timing, is there a trick?
4) Any websites (tutorials) that could help me with Flash MX please, thanks...
Tom, you have done so well in your art work and business wise, I have been looking for your personal e-mail address anywhere, would you please share it so I can ask you some questions. Thanks, if you don't post your email address on here please email me pstewartau@msn.com Thank you very much for your time :) Bye bye for now!

umm try flashkit.com. also you can scan pictures in and then trace them in flash..a good idea is to have all the limbs and stuff as seperate symbols so you can move them round. the site is all php based i heard its complicated so i wouldn't go trying it. lol. toms email is tom@newgrounds.com its in his profile.
on the main topic.... 'who carez! there are lots of people who vote 0 on every movie and thats how life works... for example the best movie on newgrounds is on 3.9 cmon 3.9 that must mean a lot of people are just voting 0..but it all equates as long as its equal and you can compare your movies score to unother then it is fine and dandy. also someone sad ppl vote 5 just to get ligh...well people vote 0 just to get dark. anyway cya even tho tomwon't respond :)

WEEL u see i am thired of this kind of people.i first saw this site 2 years ago with a friend of mine when we ran out of school.we go to the net and there were aall this stupid sites with all this stupid shitt on them.and then we suddenlly fall on to this.it was amazing-superb design with suprbly funy gamez.then we set on some game that now i would call redicussly stupid-i think it was chikanator.some hen with two barell gun killing other hans.but the site was FUULLL of all kind of movies and ganes and it had tha look.maaaaannn we were in a game club where all the people were playng HALF-Life(CS-hahahahah it was the time that nearlly nobody was playing it,if u bolieve it or not).evrybody fucked off the game and started asking us what was that site.i never cared about signi`n in u know i visit the site every day and if i see something cool i send it to a friend,but some months ago i get pissed off that i can`t give replays and signed in.how could people like him do this.maaaaaannn tell me-u have done this site for fun-for yours and for the people.it is not some kind of a competition about who has more exp.and a man who had most exp. is the best and all the little children want to became like him one day and a man who had less is a shieeet and the trash of the society aaaaaaaaa????weeel this guy obviously thinks like this.he is having some complexes.and he is so pissed off that he had desided to not simply irritate his familly(i say family becouse people like him have no friends couse they can`t stand their wish for domination and stupidity) ,but to do in in the net so everybody could see how greaattt he is.WEEELLL PUT THE VOTING BELLOW THE send to a friend button AND MAKE IT ACTIVE ONLY IF THE FILM IS LOADDED(we can`t do it but tom shure can)
I can't beleive such carelessness existed here on Newgrounds. I'm a fairly new member and I am also trying to build status, but to do such a terrible thing is just out of the question. This guy is a bad person. He should kill himself with his Mach 3 razor. Son of a bitch.
Blam club blam all of p_v_m2001's movies he total sucks and doesnt use flash he uses some animater thing. Blam all of his movies he's not good he's the creator of dbz stick fight (remake) and he was but it got blammed the creator of Viewers stupidity. Blam all of his movies they suck!
