Rancidpsychojosh, can you reply to some of the reviews of your movie? It seems you "made the kettle black" In other words, the movie you sent in was what we are trying to destroy.
Is that sarcasm I detect? How about you dimiss memebers who us pornographic or otherwise distasteful images?
Try and make a portalworthy one next time..I guess we shall let this one get BLAMmed...........
Read the above.
First of all, To that one reviewer...
We do not "condemn" anyones work....and yes, they do make flash they are not proud of, I seriously doubt I could do better myself, but there are some movies that are deliberately sent in bad, as well as there just wasting space technically. I don't want to condemn anyones work, but there ARE some distasteful entries that cause concern and anger among some Newgrounds....Trust me here, I have seen enough crap to know.
Are you Tom Fulp? Last time I looked he was the owner of Newgrounds.com & he made the voting system inorder for us to bring to his attention & flag overtly pornographic or hateful movies submitted. Even Tom stated something to the fact that "People now just seek out the movies that are in red". So I tell you what MI4_REAL_2001 , why don't you & your club submit movies & let us judge them, yes Josh's movie was all that your group hates. Yes I do believe that you CONDEMN other peoples work because what maybe crap to you maybe a jem to others. Please don't contradict yourself by saying that you don't condemn others peoples hard work. Have you submitted a Flash movie?
Cause concern or anger? This is the internet & if you get that emotionally envolved with a site then you might want to back off for awhile. AS lucadude pointed out, the Nazis thought the Jews were less than human so they murdered them to attempt to make an utopian society, looked what happened to them. In away you are no better than they were because you think that some kid just messing around with a program is bad & deserves to be kicked off. If it's bad then the higer level people will cast their votes & the rest of us will follow, we don't need a group of people to tell us what movies are good or bad.
How long you've been coming here? Since when does that matter? I was coming here in 97 or late 98 when Cat Dynamics was on the front page & the Assassin page is what brought me here, I didn't sign up for a Grounds Gold account until it became mandatory to do so to post on the BBS?
Newgrounds is a place to watch movies & have fun, not to become an elitis playground just because some people don't like stick figure movies or clock movie. Some of those movies are good, not crowning glories but they have potential. Like with the Clock Crew, just because some of them went too far, all of them are hated & all their movies are given low votes. Just sit back & enjoy the site, maybe Tom should do away with the voting system all together & I'd bet that alot of people would leave who only lived to get to a Level 50. Levels are not a sign of respect, it is how you act that earns that for you.
I no way am I trying to insult you nor will I resort to petty name calling because I am beyond that. Think over how you stated you want to rid the Portal of bad movies & think about how condemning fits into that statement.
Thanks for your time.
