It was crazy, and this is how many people discovered our game, making LPs and tweeting and starting this whole wave which culminated in us getting notified that we won the Student IGFs! And we would be flying to the US where we had never set foot in before, and we had a great time and we talked to press and got to know real indie people there, and are now working with someone we met at GDC to port our game to mobile (although we haven't found a web sponsor yet heh, would NG consider? :P). And to think it was all started at Newgrounds. This is why I love your system and you guys. :) And this is also why I think anything that detracts from active content-creators being exposed would be a Bad Thing.
That story is awesome! Stories like that make NG all worth it. :)
I hooked you up with access to make a weekly front page news post, so you can notify everyone about Rhythm Doctor updates. Those news posts will also appear in the feeds of your fans.
As far as web sponsorship, we haven't had much sponsorship budget in recent years but you could check in when you have those other updates in the coming months.
I'm still amped to try Throwback Thursdays because we have 15 years of content from the Portal, so there's a lot of great stuff that has become buried.

I think I'd like the entire front page to become a showcase of classics every Thursday, but that will require getting a programmer involved so we could see how the news post goes first.
Sounds like you need to use the Collabinator! There are several very competent, honest, programmers who are regulars here on Newgrounds. The trouble is vetting people who live so far away, and to work on a collaborative server... Also sounds like you would need a semi-official historian to do a proper weekly page. I'm being quite presumptuous, but maybe it's time to delegate some stuff out :p I wouldn't want to see you increase your workload, family guy.

Woohoo I have access now, great stuff Tom. Thanks! Heh we will check with you guys if you'd be interested in sponsorship once the game is done, we are gonna be working hard on this one.

Fair enough, ah I guess it will be completely different stuff each week anyways and not necessarily things like Copter that everyone remembers playing years ago. I'm sure I've missed some good stuff over the years that I'd be happy to discover. Best of luck with it!

Oh you! You're talking about this http://news.yahoo.com/u-government-warns-potential-attacks-heartbleed-bug-135137709--sector.html;_ylt=AwrTWf1xHUhTngsATn_QtDMD Totally forgot to mention it this morning in the other thread...
Tomfulp oh hey man one i have been hacked what can i do?

As you guys in the General Forum already saw, there was an exploit with our user icon uploader that allowed people to trick it into passing an upload to a different profile other than their own. Not related to Heart Bleed or anything, which we were already patched for.
My problem now is I'm in Boston on an ultra shitty laptop that crashes Chrome when I try to upload a new user pic, and it seems to hang on trying to update Chrome too. I couldn't find my current laptop charger when I was packing for the trip, so I brought a REALLY OLD laptop that visitors had used off and on at the office, so god knows what has happened to this thing over the years but it barely runs. I might not be able to get much done until I'm back from PAX on Monday.
If you're at PAX, be sure to come by and say hi! When you see me just standing around at the booth, I'm actually hoping NG fans will walk up and talk to me so don't be shy.
I liked furry Tom more. 1 more thing to make fun of him.

This is just NG...
And we have another fucking Game Grumps fan animation on the front page.
Oh wow when I saw people quote you I almost thought they quoted a message of mine... then I remembered I never posted any message on this thread (I did actively root for Fake when I saw it got Weekly 2nd, and lost to Twitch Draws Pokemon).
We think alike, I was also rooting for FAKE (Top 5 maybe...? well, maybe not but at least higher, even though it has no battles :P), and I'm also overly sick of the same parodies of the same franchises over and over =\ Also I want more serious (= not comedy) stuff on NG, that would do for a change.
Anyway, congrats to everyone who got on the page :D
Despite my sickness of parodies, I think Newgrounds really is the most awesome site there is :3 And the fact that Tom still talks with everyone and is himself an active member of his own community just adds to the awesomeness!
I hope I could've got some merch before the store closed though :x (Dat toilet paper tho XD)
EDIT : btw sorry if it looks like I'm bashing that first... I'm not, I liked it. But I feel non-comedy and/or non-parody animations are at a disadvantage on NG...
Hello Tim Falp,
I see you have a new icon. I like it. Please make me a mod.
Kind regards,
Slint
Pretend not to care about anything, but be bothered by everything.
You may be fast on the roads but it's no use on the track.
Not gonna lie, if these were the best, March wasn't a good month for movies OR games. The winners aren't bad, just not what I would normally consider best of the month material. Although I do think Ditto is better than any of those games that beat it.
