Can't get out of bed.
Are you ever going to reach level 60?
One day.
We never saw But again after this news post
Who
I just want to say that I love the banner you're using for your profile. Have a good day, internet guy.
Thanks, bro. It's a chubby elf.
Hey hey! I'm doin' alright. Surprised I haven't posted here before.
Say those were some solid ideas in the General disappearance threads. Hope NG manages to implement some such finesses in the future.
Good day good dude.
Thanks, my dude! I'm hopeful. I don't want to see Newgrounds disappear in my lifetime. There's way too much awesome creative energy here. All it really needs is a shift in focus to kickstart things.
@Kieran it happened ;)
About time!
Same. The way Tom approaches problems I am (hopeful) too, he seems to see the bigger picture always; manage to keep a necessary balance as far as preservation/progression goes for the sake of longevity, if I ran this site I would've probably run the site to the ground rather than shut down a forum... maybe a new General may come in time. Again. I'd like to think so. A reset on topics and mannerisms of discussion then. And the old still archived for all time...
Regardless though the content's definitely mainly what drives people in. Good focus. I'm not a huge fan of blogs replacing forums overall, but with a more Patreon-like structure maybe we really could have our own communities that way too. Intrigued to see how it all evolves...
Speaking of kickstarting things: wouldn't mind some direct Kickstarter competition woven into these evolving artist hubs too...
Tom is good like that. I agree that I probably would have kept General open if it were my choice, but it's his website and he's probably tired of the bullshit after two decades so it's hard to blame him. I really do think that Newgrounds would be in a good spot to steal some market share. But it's a tall order for a small staff.
@Bit You
New phone who dis.
Yepp, true that, truly a tiny staff for a place as big as this. Hope the lesser administrative workload (with general and all) allows for some delving into these new venues and opportunities...
Hopefully! If I lived in Philly then I would probably be hitting up Tom to see if he has any open positions. It would be nice to give back to the site where I spent so much time when I was younger.
@Bit shut up and love me again
Sorry but my slut era is over. I am a good Christian boy now.
@Bit Mmm if they could get in some volunteers for things beyond moderation here it seems like a lot more would be possible...
Just make Newgrounds open source. Easy. 8)
Whole source on Github hmm! The site truly could live forever that way...
Exactly. Then people could submit their own fixes and imrovements too.
Suppose the downside would be anyone could instantly create a clone too.
True. Though a clone of Newgrounds with none of the content, history, or userbase would be pretty useless.
With massive funding though, who knows... well I guess anyone could build a similar site from the ground up if they had that.
Probably true, it'd be hard to replicate the legacy; community. And staff. The important parts.
Yeah, with the funding to clone Newgrounds, any other company would just use those funds to make something more modern and TikTok/YouTube-esque.
True true. As they do do...
@Bit fuck
