Legally armorgames could get that domain by force with the courts if they think it's worth it.

mo is a slime ball though.

It highlights the dissonance between moral business practices and effective business practices. Maybe it stops a few quality developers from going to him, but I guess the misdirected traffic pushes the balance for him. Plus he likely only cares about money, not image. A site run by one person can only go so far these days with kongregate destroying the quality flash game market, and I guess on the other side of the spectrum addictinggames destroying the cheap game market. It seems less and less profitable to be an independently owned game site with big names taking over.

Time tends to clear out people like him. Unfortunately, or fortunately, it's tough to go through life being a total douche and still find success.

What'd everyone think of the hour long program at how to loose £5,000 on a roulette wheel? I just laughed for like 5 minutes straight :D Quite a few conspiracy theories going round, but I don't believe them.

If he was right people would just say it was faked in some way, anyway. It wouldn't be a massive surprise if it was on purpose to make it more believable, although it didn't really have that effect.

I caught the last 10 minutes of it, where he's set up in the van. What happened before?

I was laughing at the poor bloke who lost 5k (granted, he was going to get it back).

I'll treat that like sarcasm...

Plenty of examples recently of immoral people getting their come-uppance: Bernie Madolf, Enron, Balloon mortgages, John Edwards, Blagojevich, Mark Sanford, to name a few.

Not to say that cheaters NEVER prosper, but from my experience and observations, any successes they achieve are fleeting in the LONG run.

I still don't get why the French are so outraged by him being arrested. He's a wanted man because he raped some 13 year old girl. What's your problem France?

You bet. I've been known to make some too.

i was arguing with some girl which place is better to submit your art, newgrounds or deviantart. she kept on saying about how there are a bunch of professional artists and deviantart and none on newgrounds.

of course she had never been to newgrounds art portal and i'd been to devart so it was a lot easier for me than her. everytime she tried to say something bad about newgrounds i proved her wrong.

lol.

I can probably guess 90% of the arguement was ''that site's nothin but a anime porn site'' atleast thats what someone at my school said when I mentioned it to him to which I wish I replied "and how would know that kind of stuff is on Newgrounds you?" Sigh I wonder what gets this brilliant site such a bad reputation.

naw, she seemed to veer into the "NG is full of silly flash games and stuff, no one goes there for anything serious, no one important is there blablabla"

Meh the site still has a long ways to go towards fully shedding its roots. NG was notoriously known for being more about anime porn / whatever... and it probably still is in some circles. So its a neverending uphill battle to change first impressions. Who knows, the site may never change those impressions. I think the appeal for me is that im an actual person here on the site, if i want to i can drop the owner of the site a PM and get replied to at some point. Theres something more welcoming when the sites owner is mixing it up with everyone else. You dont see deviantart ceo making his own paintings or reaching out to his users. Its just a faceless website. Thats fine for artists not interested in a more 'mom and pop' type of establishment which i've always considered ng to be. Everythings made from scratch and with the userbase in mind.
