Wow that is ridiculous. Definitely looks like a blacklist though, good call.
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.

Thats a big ass dropoff
Maybe they found those naked pictures you have stashed on the site...
DAMMIT
I think Drawception de-listed you too! (your link on the left)
HOLY CRAP! I wonder if it was for having boobs in some of my pictures or if he just flushed the system at some point. That's a bummer. Removing link now. :(
Maybe BoM, but his link is wrong, it should be this.

Oh look at that, I STILL EXIST! Just after I cleaned up my links.
I think it's time you started whoring yourself out Tom :P
This is some bullshit, hopefully you figure out what their issue is.
Also, although there may not be an email to reach them at, there is a contact us page.

Contacted!
This is a declaration of war on their part. Prepare the armies.
make movies that say Stumbleupon is shit
if we can get some good content fabricators on board we can kick ass
and a full army of trolls to fuck up their site
operation Stumble2theGround
Or just hope they stop blacklisting us!
That is complete rubbish! If It's involved with content that people were being turned off by, then that shouldn't even matter, there's a warning for adult submissions before you can even play them. I hope this gets straightened out!
Those meanies! :<
Does this mean that NG may go down?
You can't! I love this web page, you just can't go down.
Maybe you could ask Chris, Arin etc to give you a shout out?
It's my belief that maybe their servers (god knows where THOSE are), might be redirecting people to a similar site or even glitching in an address check. I've seen sites that have had redirecting codes or links and sometimes when the servers get near capacity (especially if they're old), they sometimes lose or delete bits of memory. These can be simple things like the number '1' in an html address that can damage traffic to the site. Otherwise, if it IS the adult content, I agree with Saminat. Besides the warning system, it's clearly in the user agreement when you join the site that there might be offensive content. My advice tom is that you check the link an see if ANYTHING at all is missing, even down to the huge jumble of letters and numbers at the end. It's usually something simple.
I set up an account with stumbleupon to investigate and as far as I can tell, Newgrounds NEVER shows up anywhere. It's really sad too because you look for Flash Games and you find a lot of really shitty sites, with NG nowhere in sight.
Don't you just hate the internet at times?
How about ALL THE TIME?
Jeez, yeah this needs some rectifying ... that's no chump change. Keep us posted on your dealings with this stumbleupon situation ... :'/
It really is crazy, like I had always been suspicious about why our traffic seemed to dip more dramatically than it ever has, but for some reason never noticed it was THAT. Really gotta wonder about the long-term impact, the number of NG fans that just don't exist right now because of it.
Holy shit...
I just hope this is some big accounting or moderation error,
Or in the worst case god is afraid of your progress, but hey
It should be rectified soon...I hope.
I use stumbleupon a lot and I have noticed the lack of Newgrounds pages I have been getting. I always like Newgrounds pages in general because I love the content here. This is also a blow to Newgrounds' artists because they aren't getting the exposure from outside sources as well. I can't see why Newgrounds would be blacklisted when I have been routed by Stumble to sites that have stolen newgrounds content on them. I hope it all gets squared away because it is just not right.
