Though less and less flashes get blammed.
Austerity's screenshot pretty much sums it up.
I suppose you're right, quality or no quality there's never a reason so have no blams in an entire 24-hour span of time. I fear that this site may be heading downhill, though unlike many people, I do not believe the redesign to be the cause. I fear simply that this was inevitable. For every mature, intelligent, responsible voter there is on the site, there are at least a dozen more 5-all fuck-heads who don't know the definition of a good flash. I fear that this will become the dumping grounds of websites without open portals like ours, such as Kongregate or Armorgames.
I mourn the days where Stickpage and Flashplayer were cool websites who had their own style, Addictinggames didn't give a fuck about the layout, Armorgames was still Games of Gondor, and Anitude still existed. Goddamn, those were good times, and it's a shame I was too young to appreciate them.
My shameful nostalgia aside, it is up to us and the other few remained users devoted to guarding the portal to do so. Forgive me for speculation, but perhaps the fall of Newgrounds is inevitable. But god damn it, we will slow it down as best we can, and we will fight the spammers and inexperienced 5-alls every inch of the way. We will never let Newgrounds go without a fight, and even then, we'll hang on.
