It made me realize how much it shaped our childhoods without us realizing it in the moment. How it offered a creative outlet. How it killed hours of boredom. How we discovered games and series and creators through it.Man, Nox is a great series. Truly James Lee's best work. I kinda regret seeing NG as a lost leader in web creation and wishing it to be bigger, but the latter's a truly terrible idea that would hurt the brand and I couldn't have it any other way!
It's remarkable NG has kept its legacy going, where other websites shrug it off as a relic. But its become like a piece of fine art. To be remembered, appreciated and archived.
Happy Anniversary! ^-^
NG would really benefit from being 5-10x bigger, which would still be way smaller than platforms like YouTube.
For an example, 10x would mean that every movie that currently gets 10k views would get 100k views. It means instead of 8k Supporters we could have 80k Supporters.
Our hosting expenses would also go up but staff expenses would ideally remain the same, meaning NG could stop losing money and start boosting prizes / re-introducing the rev-share system.
Whenever I talk about my work IRL I direct people to Newgrounds and so many people are shocked that the place still exists in the first place. I don’t really know what we can do to remind everybody but it seems like a big part of the problem is people just seem to have forgotten about us or think that because Flash died then Newgrounds must have followed suit.
