Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Hi there! In case you didn't know, I created newgrounds. No, it wasn't made by some giant company - just some dumb kid. I also co-founded the Behemoth; we made Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. Yoink!

Reddit AMA

Posted by TomFulp Oct. 29, 2009 @ 12:45 PM EDT

Rubin0 sent my info about setting up a Reddit AMA, or "Ask me Anything."

People can post questions and vote on the best ones, while I'll try to answer as many as possible. Should be interesting!

Thanks for the front page banner exposure yesterday and good call doing a randomly changing banner ad

Oct. 29, 2009 | 2:22 PM TomFulp responds:

If everything in the rotating gets enough views today, it will bring the entire existing grid of content into question! The large box is here to stay though, the version in the wide site redesign cycles through content as you sit and watch.

We have some big ideas for ways to showcase the remaining content below... Stuff that could be a lot more interesting than just a grid, but weeeee'lll seeeeeee I avoid talking about things we aren't ready to launch.

Tom, on the medals thread, there is 14hourlaunchbreak that says he has an upcoming game with medals, is that true ?

Oct. 29, 2009 | 3:08 PM bocodamondo says:

that is cool :P
how long there need for asking you all that?

Oct. 29, 2009 | 3:56 PM Rubin0 says:

You're the best!

Oct. 29, 2009 | 4:12 PM Starogre says:

Yea i guess its hard to judge the future of newgrounds since most things on the internet pop up so quickly to begin with.

Oct. 29, 2009 | 4:18 PM ilikeblamingcrap says:

couldn't you have just made a thread in the BBS?

Oct. 29, 2009 | 4:37 PM TheSilverGuitar says:

"thank you for introducing me to animated breasts at a very young age."

Made me laugh.

Oct. 29, 2009 | 4:44 PM Boss says:

For some reason I would be more interested in asking the other admins questions.

Maybe I'll think of something.

Tom, how are you?

Oct. 29, 2009 | 6:53 PM speeling says:

Mine-
What's up?

Oct. 29, 2009 | 7:10 PM FourSwordsKing says:

Well this is unusual.....usually more people would've replied to your news post by now....it's quite a shame when the users here are giving up on ya Tom.

Oct. 29, 2009 | 10:54 PM TomFulp responds:

I didn't front page it.

At least the people on reddit like talking to me. :(

Oct. 29, 2009 | 7:28 PM Aksumka says:

Glad to see you over at Reddit Tom! Thinking about giving Reddit more love than Digg?

Oct. 29, 2009 | 10:57 PM TomFulp responds:

Ya know what... This day proved reddit is way cooler than Digg. Ever week I try to get those guys to check out our game of the week, and it's like talking to a wall. Albeit not many people browse their web game section, but what are ya gonna do, I'm posting about web games...

With Reddit, I just followed Rubin's instructions on setting up an IAmA page, and BOOM that instant it just took off, I don't quite understand how but it was impressive. And then it made front page of Reddit and was up there all night! It appears to be sliding off now.

Lovely.

Props to Rubin0 for suggesting it. Thanks for the quick response on reddit, too.

Oct. 29, 2009 | 11:04 PM omegared says:

WOW! I just read a lot of that! That was so much fun!

Lots of cool stuff I learned about the site and its artists... Wow. :)))

Oct. 30, 2009 | 3:33 PM BoMToons says:

That was really a good read. Really interesting to see your thoughts on so many subjects that I have always wondered about.

Oct. 31, 2009 | 11:32 AM gorehaunter says:

Hey tom, long time no see!...
What are you being for halloween? Just curious. I also found out that the leatherface chainsaw toy matches well with the dad mask.
Also, in the future, I'm imagining newgrounds very big and adventurous, and pretty much famous.

About 2 or 3 kids in every school knows newgrounds.
Seeya tom, take care.

Nov. 1, 2009 | 8:12 AM RoManLP says:

Dude thanks for newgrounds this is AMAZING DUDE!!!!!!

The only thing is... Cant we make a strategy genre here, its just adventure, action and defense and some more, but a own strategy line will make this site more cooler :P

Nov. 8, 2009 | 2:42 AM SoggyPancake says:

Tom, I just bought an Xbox360 and you've probably heard this already from a lot of people but I feel like I have to personally repeat everything that everyone has told you:

"Castle Crashers ROCKS."
"I bought castle crashers about a week ago and everytime I play it, I need to put on a new pair of shorts. As of today, you owe me $54 in underwear expenses."
"You should make babies with Dan and just have your spawn create video games in your basement. Child labor laws are so overdated."
"Castle Crashers turned my girlfriend into a game lover. I am your slave."
"Sometimes I dress my girlfriend up in the Castle Crashers outfit because it turns me on"

I understand that you get creepy comments like this a lot, if not creepier- what? You don't...? ... Awkward...

Shoot, figures I would've missed this. If you're still answering questions, mine has been keeping me up at night for a while now.

..But I'll ask it on here too on the slightly-larger chance you answer it here: I just need to hear TOM FULP say no to this... Is your SON NAMED PICO?

Nov. 12, 2009 | 5:21 PM TenshiLurodi says:

Man if newgrounds teamed up with gaiaonline,that would do some damage to alot of other sites for teens to adults.....
