not much on there worth supporting

all my fave artists use twitter, youtube or tumblr

I prefer hyun's dojo. The game jams are the only thing bringing me back.

Did you mean to type "past its prime"?

Because the early 2000s ended and most of these old Flash sites are dead and gone, and the ones that aren't are on their way out. Nu-Internet has no place for sites like that anymore

The only reason it can be considered "past it's prime" is because of all the people that left it for youtube. There are still a lot of quality artists coming to the site, and the site itself is still great.

The flash games went to steam. The flash videos to youtube. Nothing is left. The site is dead.

it's weird to think kids and teenagers used to spend so much time working on animations just for the hell of it, even though most of it looked like shit.
does a community like that still exist in that age group? or is it all lets play videos?

>youtube
Flash animators aren't going to youtube anymore ever since they changed the monetization model. People still frequently upload to Newgrounds. Some even make it a thing to upload to Newgrounds only. It's by no means a dead site.

Make NewGrounds great again.

Didn't they recently hide all the porn to attract advertisers?

this is true
NG may not be as active as it used to be, but it's by no means a barren wasteland.
loads of old folks that used to populate it, like oscar johannson and whichever demon that made foamy, are heading back to it, or are at least planning to. the group that made there she is!!, the guy that made bitey, and probably a couple more in a few weeks or months
rob denblyker pls come back
i need joe zombie 7 to be real

Funny thing. I've been making more money streaming my animation work on youtube then ALL my videos combined (and my animations have 200k to 20 million views a piece).

I expect once i finish the animation im working on and upload it, it wont make 1/10th what the streaming revenue has. Blows my god damn mind.

Arin?

Nah another animator. Erin doesn't animate anymore, and he never wanted to be one either, he always wanted to be a VA. Just to get noticed he did animation work.

>Zhu_Zhq will never finish XiaoXiao

Too bad, him and numa numa made NG my home back during dial up days.

Keep up the awesome streams man, hope i watch one.

The series ended all the way back in 2002 didn't it?

Did Zhu die or did he just get tired of making episodes?

Which generation had the better teen years?

i feel your pain, user
take this to soothe your soul

Last time I heard about him he was animating commercials in China or something.

I dont know if I should be sad or upset that this flash animation era started and also died with us.

I remember losing my shit when I discovered this website and finding the porn games too. What's it gonna be like for kids now?

are you kidding? most kids watch people play games or watch surprise egg videos.
there's nothing wrong with watching let's plays, but i feel like it heavily discourages younger kids finding more entertainment besides it

Rubber Ninja, is that you?

Because 2004 was 12 years ago, grandpa.

It's so strange to hear kids day that they dream of being YouTube Let's players. I wonder if it will still be viable in a couple years.

>You're old for liking a less relevant site after it's prime xD

Looking at what youtube is doing, probably not.

It's not even viable today. Anyone with a decent amount of charisma is gonna do something far more productive for money than playing video games, and even if you do get popular you have shitfaces like PDP who have legions of fans that will downvote/flag your video because fuck you.

It's an ugly field and it's best nobody bothered getting into it.

Nah, Google has gone full jew (as expected) and basically stopped paying people for content on youtube unless you're one of the really high profile people like Pewdieshit or Markiplier.

Google is actually LOSING money from Youtube. Makes you wonder why they bought it in the first place.

imagine if newgrounds becomes super popular due to youtube going to complete shit

That would require them switching the site to html 5 and it would also require them to allow non animated content. Although iirc they already do have that as cameraboii's Harry Potter abridged were uploaded on there.

>using Newgrounds for cartoons

No way. Newgrounds was always for gaming, it's Sup Forums territory. Even then other sites have better games. Newgrounds is mainly good for nostalgic games like that one where you torture the doll or that burger making simulator starring Bush iirc (and even then Papa's Arcadia is superior).

Youtubers are making money off of sponsors so both parties benefit by cutting out the middle-man. I think Crunchyroll pays $5.00 per new subscriber. Audible probably pays more.

>mfw this was basically the ending of the series, but then he made episode 7.5 after it and said he wasn't finished making them, so I've been waiting for an 11th episode for five years

There will never be a Perfect Kirby 4.

for some reason I always thought madness was a lot bigger than it actually is. Or maybe it was at some point? Certainly one many things on newgrounds that had a fervent fanbase but faded with time

>There are people younger than Madness Combat 1 who post on this site

>someone besides me remembers that

I used to mostly browse Newgrounds just for the video game sprite flash.

That's a pretty stupid move. They made a reputation with mature content.

>there are people younger than joe zombie that post on this site
>there are people younger than castle that post on this site
>there are people younger than bitey that post on this site

i wish they kept them segregate their audiences for those who want both porn or non-porn related stuff

Favorite classic Newgrounds video?

youtube.com/watch?v=Xdwze-Wj6_4

its not very based

Then they'd be bought or strongarmed by the copyright mafia, and suck just as bad. Popularity ruins anything on the internet inside a year.

most case orginal animation dont face copyright strikes

It's quite dead and its sense of humour doesn't appeal to me as much anymore.

I regret not supporting it years ago by making some of my own awful content.

you still can there is a demand for animation be it 2d or 3d it just can't relie lol so random or funny meme

There has been rampant copyright claim fraud for the past year or so.

for your own animation? i know for other stuff like doing the same thing someone else did or just for saying something familiar

It is all Let's Play kiddies.

Fond memories, Sup Forums?

if someone has it i would like a gif of shotgun guy.

don't forget
"the stupider that people think you are, the more surprised they will be when you kill them"

Because It's not 2002 anymore, and I'm not a high school kid gunning down the Bear in the Big Blue House anymore.

Newgrounds will return hopefully

>YouTube is fucking everything up again and some people just can't deal with it anymore
>after a certain point you have to pay to continue uploading music on Soundcloud
>DA is filled with god awful fetish shit and restrictions against porn art for some reason
I can't think of anything for Steam though

Fetish shit is always a big draw, though. People love a freak show.

>they will never continue making 8-bit Theater animation

Feels Batman

>Newgrounds will return hopefully
The format is off and they'd have to center around a larger range of filetypes
Hopefully they could open up a homemade app center that could let people publish smaller ios/android games and/or better quality videos with some sort of html5 player

>FACT: NEWGROUNDS WAS FUNNY WHEN WE WERE ALL 12 LIVING IN THE SUBURBS LISTENING TO LINKIN PARK WATCHING DRAGONBALL Z
This is when the fact ends and the projecting begins.

Damn it. I wanted to post that.

yeah look at Sup Forums

i swear the newfags get worse every year

Played my first porn games there, brings back memories.

Went back there yesterday, surprised there were still people uploading content to it. Still have some talented people uploading there too.

YouTube's been doing the same thing that it's been doing for a while. That "advertiser-friendly" shit has been in their ToS for a while now and it's been enforced all this time. It's just that now they're being more transparent about demonetizing things by sending creators notifications and adding an appeals process. This has brought along with it the revelation of yet another YouTube automated system that fucks up and sees false-positives all over the place.

The idea that YouTube is going to demonetize everybody's shit for cussing or discussing sensitive topics is fucking stupid. The site's biggest creators should be talking about the facts and asking YouTube to do better and improve their systems, especially their appeal systems, but instead they're capitalizing on it and riling up their retarded communities into yet another "YouTube is ruined!" shit-show and raking in all those sweet views and subs.

>joe zombie

Fuck you for reminding me.

>oscar johannson
Woah. Is he going to continue Castle?

Yep
In CGI

Think of all the stuff that will be lost when flash stops being blocked by every major browser.

gen x

I had 14k forum posts before my account was deleted.

I don't think I ever went to the flash portal

They won't be a bad alternative actually. Especially when the TPP hits, Newgrounds once again will be one of the few sources of new content now that all that copyright shit is behind a paywall now.

who is your favorite forumer?

Because I'm not 15 anymore.

JadeTheAssassin

It really makes me upset that they moved to a html 5 based player. I absolutely understand why they did it, but so many interactive elements of many flash films are lost now. Loading minigames as the swf loaded up, random shit being clickable in the background or Easter eggs that could only be seen if you zoomed in really close.

...

I'm not sure if anyone remembers who Rtil is, but he was a really talented animator who was pretty critical of newgrounds and egoraptor back in the day. A while bacl someone sent a message to his tumblr regarding Newgrounds and he replied.

rtilrtil.tumblr.com/post/148908847721/was-watching-your-old-stuff-on-newgrounds-and-i

>i’m not exactly heartbroken over it, the only way i coped with being part of such a horrible community was by constantly satirizing it. and when that got old i decided to leave, and i was much happier having done so. that was back in 2011.

>Newgrounds was a great place for animators before people got spoiled by instantly buffering video and the rise of YouTube. and even though it’s adapted now, it’s too dated and they waited too long to do it.

>nowadays if you’re a new animator it’s easy to get overwhelmed looking at how much content there is now, but it’s still possible to break out. the only difference is that back then, content sites did the promotional work for the creator - now it’s the other way around. even if your work is incredible, if you’re not going the extra mile to target the right audience, nobody will find it. Youtube’s cold, unforgiving algorithms are actively working against the underdog, which Newgrounds always tried to circumvent with hand-picked, curated content (even if it didn’t work so well). I guess that’s one thing about NG i might actually miss.

>and no, Ego and i never got along for good reasons, and i have no interest in pretending that i could.

Don't worry user, the game surely will come out

Man I forgot about the whole Egoraptor vs Rtil drama back on Newgrounds. I used to think that Rtil was a real asshole who was just jealous that Egoraptor was more popular than he was, but in hindsight everything he said regarding him was absolutely correct. I wish I could go back in time and apologise to the guy.

my other personal favorite is probably doctorstrongbad

Not to mention how shitty the html5 player is. It seems like any time I skip to a specific section there's a 20% chance that the video will permanently lock into a 'buffering' loop and I'll have to refresh the page, which is really fucking frustrating when I'm trying to find a specific part in a video or replay something.

>shitty stick figure porn
And nothing of value was lost

Big name animators and quality series aren't even half the fun of Newgrounds, though. NG used to be good because it was an unmoderated cesspit of the internet not unlike Sup Forums. Turd of the Week, shitpost flashes, amateur hentai games and sprite animations were what made NG so fascinating. Then Tom just kinda went "we web 2.0 now" and tried to turn it into this big serious artist networking thing except the career artists would now rather be earning money through Patreon and everyone else got alienated. Casual Flash also pretty much died everywhere in the process. All this isn't likely to be fixed by any amount of money.

I listen to Sleepycast and donate to their patreon which is kind of like supporting Newgrounds since some of them work there

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Because next week I'll be 22 and these times were Golden back in early 2000's.

None of that money is going to supporting the NewGrounds site though

Mah nigga. I loved that shit back in the day. Hell, I wanted to make my own animated sprite series. Still kind of want to actually.

I have three accounts and all of them have supporter status.
