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

Don't know...let's see:
If you see Newgrounds as a company: president, ceo.
If you see it as a website: webmaster, chief admin.
Personal suggestion: founder. Seriously, it doesn't imply that you're no longer there, and it sounds fine to me. But what do I know? I'm just some dumb kid (Yoink).
Dragonslayer.
Honestly Tom, I think you're giving it too much thought. Why can't you just be the 'Webmaster'?
How 'bout god?
Or you can just go with "Cock of the Walk".
that dude with the website.
You are the creator and runner of newgrounds and you cool but hooplah thinks your me and well that's pretty silly
Grand Poo-bah.
CEO. Newgrounds is kind of a big deal.
The Shit.
i like 'the tom fulp' too. in future centuries the current leader of newgrounds will also be known as the tom fulp.
I agree with all, but I would personally say you should have more than one name. Maybe founder and owner but definetly not president and CEO? Well, it sounds odd. Like as if you own K-Mart or something.
Screw all 4 of those titles.
As some who is totally ignored all the time, i say make your own god damn title.
king tom OF NEWGROUNDS
CEO is Chief Executive Officer. Essencially, they are the Manager of Managers, the guy running the show, but they are not the Owner of the business. Executive Officers are senior managers put in place by a Board of Directors, who are the actual 'bosses' of a company.
President is usually the title given to the chief of the board, the 'Director of Director's. A Company President does little for the day to day running of the company, and rather guides the board of directors in investment and future growth planning. Similar to how a captain leads the troops on one mission while the Major is already organising the next one, and the General is looking even further still then that.
Founder- You got it mostly bang on, simply saying Founder implies you started the company but have no part. Usually you add founder to another title, similar to: "Founder and President of Example Inc" so people know you started this boat.
For paper work purposes, I would ignore all above. CEO and President don't apply unless Newgrounds as an active board of directors and/or is publicly owned (stock market floating).
I would go for Managing Director, a common title used by most small/medium sized business owners.
Webmaster?
You're Founder AND CEO of your own company... I asked myself the same question when I started my little studio... but when you want to grow big you have to think big... So I started to think, act and organize my studio like a big company... And that help me a lot to grow and we are growing each day...
So yes... CEO... And always think big =D
P.S: Sorry if my english is kinda awful... I'm from Argentina and I learned it from movies and video games xD
You should be referred as the Founder and Owner professionally but as the project manager when related to a certain flash or media related matter.
You could even just refer to yourself as "The boss" making sure to pronounce it as "BOW-SS" for maximum effect.

Okay so Owner is too informal and founder makes it sound like you don't work on NG anymore. so mix the two. Ownder or Founer.
Or just say meh I'm awesome and fill in NG GOD.
