sounds like SOMEBODY needs to be converted to the church of fulpology. ABLAM.
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.

Those people are the ones funding NG, though. The regulars who are interested in the community probably never click on the ads. So I wouldn't look at it as if it was a bad thing. I didn't know about Tom Fulp or any of the staff workings until I actually signed up here and spent some time looking around.
I don't think i was ever ignorant of what was really going on around here, i just don't have the time to be involved, I _am very happy to look on via the sidelines and piss myself laughing at some of the stuff that goes on though :D
That was the most sadly tragedy book I have ever most cried at.
I get a massive hard-on just thinking about Castle Crashers. I started going to Newgrounds sometime in 2000, and created this profile about a year later after deciding it was one of the most entertaining sites I had seen around the internet. If you enjoy the content on a site and visit it frequently, it seems only logical that you would see who created it, how it started, and what it was all about.
You've turned countless regular doodle artists into aspiring talented ones by giving them the opportunity to let their works be seen by the masses. With small successes comes the motivation to create something grander, thus creating legendary artists and talent that would otherwise never have existed without your influence.
It's quite a pity there are people who don't recognize the contribution you've made to the world of animation.
You are a bad-ass fellow, and a genuinely nice guy in person, at least from the several times I've run into you at Comic-Con.
RESPECT.
I'm sure that's a huge portion of NG visitors. You'd think that you should advertise deeper facts about the site, but that would just seem a little ridiculous after a while... "HELLO, I'M TOM FULP, AND I CREATED NEWGROUNDS!" plastered across the top of the layout... its weird, but its really the only way to do it... you have quite a dilemma. Maybe you just need to make more regular features acsessable to only members, that way people would feel the need to learn more about the site.
whats a 'newgrounds"?
I see a lot of this at my school. But it also gets worse, cause everyone thinks that everything's made by the staff ONLY, so if they hate one thing, they hate everything else. Then again, there was also that time where I showed my friend Indestruc2tank, and he said it was a ripoff to Indistructotank. I would've back-slapped him, but he moved away too quick.
at least i learned about you within a year, but yeah tons of people do that... and they should be beaten with a large salmon
WARNING: If this were a movie, I'd vote five on it.
What's a cock joke?
Yeah, it's hit or miss with me. I have a NG sticker on my laptop and I've been approached by more T.A.s and older students. They either identify with the logo or ask if I work for Newgrounds. I guess if there were games and movies that were URL locked to only work from the Newground's website and not allowed to proliferate to other content portals, you might start building up a stronger brand identity.
Then again, what I just said smells like disgusting corporate strategy.
Why the hell did I click this?
Actually I never discovered the forums till the summer, I never seemed to notice it till then before that I spent hours of playing games watching movies but I read up on the lit because I loved the Assassin page, then I first heard of all the events and I thought and still do think the hate mail is hilariously funny, I mean you replies are. but before that I did not know who the hell you where.
well.. i guess its better than most of the sentiment at Comic Con... most people thought newgrounds was a t-shirt company.
atleast they know its a website.
I could also use some explanation on this whole leveling up thing.. 8 yrs later it still puzzles me ^_________________^
Wow. What a bunch of newbs. Just kidding. But seriously how the fuck can you not know Tom Fulp!
Yo Tom how do you get a banner, how do you become a mediator(sorry don't know wow its spelled), and are the bots really humans or just programs? You should start making more Pico flash, because you are one of the few people who make good Pico flash.
P.S. Sorry for asking alot of questions.
Lol, my sister goes here pretty often, too
darkshado222: So, did Dan Paladin scare you with his intro at GDC?
ForeverSummerSky: Dan Paladin
(At this point I was a bit shocked)
darkshado222: Dan Paladin.... you know.... newgrounds.......
ForeverSummerSky: um... no?
darkshado222: -.- The guy who introduced the IGF Awards
ForeverSummerSky: Oh! Yeah! That was funny!
