I'm more shocked by girls on Newgrounds than people not knowing about Castle Crashers. But still, going to NG and not knowing Tom? For shaaaaame.
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.

Funny, but who the hell is Synj?
UUUUGGGGHHHH god that must be annoying.
Yeah. I can mention NG over XBL and people don't know what I'm saying. If I mention a website with lots of flash and tank they suddenly know.
Oh well.
whats a "New Grounds"? :S
Wow.
Even i know more than that.
But i have a lot to learn.
Pretty much everybody I know in real life knows Newgrounds as the yellow and black website they used to visit in elementary school to play that drag racing game or sim datings. Sadly, nobody has a clue who Tom Fulp is.
Exactly! This same thing happened to me.
I asked my Physics Teacher who is a NG regular, 26 years old, but has no account and said "Who is Tom Fulp?"
I was kinda surprised but when I told him who you were he was like "Man, that guy is awesome! He actually made Newgrounds? I doubt that some kid did though I always figured it was a company or something."
I showed him "Hi there! In case you didn't know, I created newgrounds. No, it wasn't made by some giant company - just some dumb kid. Yoink!" and he couldn't have been more surprised.
That is the neat part about NG.
that seriously happened?
Tom, you should have one of those introduction pages before you enter the main site featuring a short film of you angrily shouting, "Hi, I made this website dontcha know?" Also, it might scare away underage users :D
You were just too punk for those girls.
Yes, that really happened. It made me love physics (even though I have a C average currently)
Who is DanPaladin?
I know of about 3 people at my school that know what newgrounds is and go there... I would get a shirt and advertise, but I'm Saving for a Tablet. :C
sounds like people that go to youtube. people's attention spans get shorter and shorter every year.
GIRLZ ON TEH INTERNETZ??? NAAA
damn you sure are talkative not even one reponse
Yeah that's how I roll.
that gets me thinking - there should be something near 'the top' that is along the lines of 'what is newgrounds about?' i know there are already pages like it, but it's in a corner of the site i doubt few people would click on unless they were geniunely interested. but once you get them to click on something, there's a good chance they'll stick around and read if there's pictures or something equally eye-catching.
Yeah, I really do think A LOT about putting a blatant "sell speech" right on the front page... And I actually did re-write the ABOUT NG page a few months ago, into something a lot better than the crap there now, but I need to go back and revise some more and launch it.
Wow....they been on Newground for 3 years and didn't even know Tom Fulps pretty sad.

Most people at my school are like that.
