Went and visited NG today for old time's sake and saw something that made me a little sad on Tom Fulp's latest news post:

View attachment 3172466

After all of this time on the internet as the home of creators like Oney, Egoraptor, etc. and with the resurgence of the website thanks to Tumblr banning porn in 2018 and Friday Night Funkin' being a big thing in the 2020s, how are there only roughly 6,000 people paying to use it? I've seen better supporter numbers on shitty niche podcasts's Patreon Page.

And where does Tom get off thinking he's going to double that paltry number before this year ends? What are people going to be paying for? More shitty flash games that don't even work properly now?

I know it's been hammered to death that this website is the walking dead, but I truly don't know how it can survive this decade.

NGL that makes me want to sign up and post stuff there just in hope that'll make the owner feel better.

Technically, there are new games and cartoons being uploaded to Newgrounds every day, even though most of them are babby's first, some of them are genuinely enjoyable. But realistically, people are there to play porn games and watch porn animations, you can see it if you sort by views.

Anyway, get a load of this guy, imagine being a middle-aged man(and even if his age is fake, he's probably in his thirties, cause he must've been a teen when he registered) who still cares about some flash spam crew from 15 years ago. I mean, don't you have anything better to do with your time? Back then you'd gain notoriety among users and piss them off, but nowadays nobody cares.

It might easily be an excellent game, but the question is: will people play it? So far it has about 21k views and it's existed for about a month, so if we extrapolate, it'll get 252k views in a year, and that's not much. Also, games tend to get fewer views as they get older, so... it'll be lucky to even break 100k.

The silver lining is that a lot of the people who made Newgrounds great seem to still be doing well. Even Tom has game development to fall back on.

A shame you probably wont see nearly as many people make a name for themselves as animators though. Youtube pretty much made that completely unviable.

That's pretty bad regardless of age. I doubt anybody even cares about the clock crew and that was given it's own day.

The only people who lie about being older than they are, are kids trying to buy cigarettes or beer.
And no I don't have anything better to do with my time. It's a hobby.

I remember this. I found this trying too hard to be funny or random. Also I think the button sound back then on this game sounds like a whimpering moan. They must've changed it.

this game used to be funny (except from the meme overload), but sadly the creator later got crazy, started posting more artsy fartsy things and troon'd out... (as moosegump said above)
it was a very fast decline for them, if you ask me.

Found some Lolcow material.
I had one of the most intense outbursts yet. Yesterday I was angry because of the partial program for the mental hospital and I got so angry I started stabbing anything I could find in the kitchen. Tomatoes, lemons, a jar of mayo, a plastic tub, a bag of chips, fake fruit in a bowl, a painting, a fake plant as in I cut one of the leaves off, and I cut up the paper towels as well. Then I gave my mom a note about how I felt about the partial program and she didn't even look at the whole thing. She only looked at one sentence and when she left for work I banged my head on the table and cried for a while occasionally slamming my fists on the table. This is where things started getting kind of intense. I drank some polish potato vodka which burned my insides quite a bit but I finished it. I drank some more vodka but it was only 8% alcohol and was lime flavoured while dry tears literally coated my face. Then I cried some more and ate 10 pieces of toast in one sitting and after that, I felt a little better besides the fact I'm sure I was a little tipsy from the vodka and it made me a little gassy. So yeah, yesterday was pretty chaotic. What sucks is that I have to go to the partial program again tomorrow. So, I can't promise that I won't drink again.

I think the only other time I saw something this deranged was on deviantart's forums. Some guy was angry at life and said he wanted to kill himself or something like that.

I....I've never entered the forums in all the years before I made my first account and second. S-Should I be glad I've never ventured there?

It sounds like it's involuntary rehabilitation. Aaand lurking the comments: they're giving sage advice.
I self-harmed again and if my mom sees she'll send me back to the mental hospital. I can't let her see these cuts. I am not going back to that place. My arms sting and burn so bad. I am not going back. I'm not. If she tries to send me back I'll just run away because there is no way I am going back to that hellhole.

Acceleration. Don't know how it's in the United Kingdom, but even admitting your plans to a therapist leads to involuntary rehabilitation....

Found even more lore from his post history.
My mom put me in this partial program at the mental hospital and it was my first day and it's already made me lose sleep. She woke me up at 8 am and made me go and then I had to sit in this hot ass van at the end of the day to drive me home. And for what? so I can throw a beach ball up in the air and see what question it lands on? How is this supposed to improve my mental health? Literally, the only reason I'm there is because I threw a glass on the ground, fell out of a window, and ran away. I mean sure that isn't responsible but I wouldn't put someone in a mental hospital for it. I mean at least talk to them about it first before you just send them into a mental hospital. Pfft, and people say I have bad communication skills. My mom is using it as if it's supposed to be a punishment for running away. That's not what mental hospitals are supposed to be used for.

She said that I had to have at least some kind of repercussions after what happened. I didn't hurt anybody. Sure I threw a glass but if anything I hurt myself more than my family. I literally fell out of a window and now my back and neck hurt. The only thing that we do is group games, eat lunch, and "play" in the gym (no one even really moves around at all so it's not very useful). Which are all extremely boring. What do they really expect me to do here? You woke us up hella early and then are wondering why no one has the energy to do anything. What does my mom expect me to get out of this? I've told her over and over again that it wouldn't help me but she just won't listen. Let's hope she does this time. Because I'm honestly getting more irritated than usual because of this crap. It's just, I'm irritated, ya know? They tell you, "oh well you're just not in the right mindset" well I'm not gonna pretend that everything is okay. Because everything isn't okay.

Then, there's also this:
Broken plastic forks Incase me and my friend wanna have a fork fight. The forks are broken because I stabbed him so hard with them.

the BBS has always sucked, but i got into NG right after the art forum launched (years before the art portal) and we had a good time there for a while. the flash forum had a lot of good FAQ/tutorial posts for getting started with animating/programming. nobody who was anybody or was doing anything creative ever posted in the general forum, which wasn't even worth lurking for entertainment, except for occasions when private drama spilled into public.

i was just thinking today about one of the BBS mods. he was a crane operator, and somehow had a computer & internet set up in his crane cab in like 2010. another guy might have bought a smartphone and gotten ahead of the curve in the blossoming market of social media, but EyeLovePoozy just posted on the fucking BBS and ragebanned middle schoolers all day

Haven't touched the forums since the early 2000s. I wish I could have nuked all the posts from my old account because I was an edgy 13 year old picking fights randomly and most definitely posted some cringe shit.

you can do that. tom is nice enough to delete your BBS post history if you simply PM him and ask him to do so, no questions asked.
I had that same problem myself where, long story short, I had an NG account and frequently posted on the BBS as a 10 year old mega autist. Tom nuked all my stupid shit for me and I'm glad he did.
