Haha yeah. When I saw it, it reminded me of the time Wade meant to say he knew a lot more people idolized Tom than him, and it somehow got mixed up to say the opposite :)

At first I wasn't sure about it but that was really great! I gave it all my five. The faces were kinda square on 3/4 view, just IMO. I noticed all of the animation tricks you used :P Really though, A+, it'll get a good score.

Are you saying that it should have never been escalated and that we should have continued to be fooled by Dan????????

Ignorance isnt bliss... I'm frankly glad it was escalated.

No, not at all. I just think it could have been done in a more precise manner and professionally than it was, which might have prevented what it's become now.

Because the way in which it was "exposed" was unprofessional, degrading to a lot of people, caused a ton of conflict, and became messy.

What is a professional way of handling it?
Was Dan going to magically come out of his throne and fess up about it?
COME ON. PLEAASSE tell me you arent serious. You cant possibly be giving him that much credit?

Re: Dan and some sort of Scandal (or Something)

This appears to be a sensitive subject, but I'm curious as to what happened with Dan, It's quite clear I missed something, even though I'm never up to date on E-news. If no one is willing to share that's cool to

I'm just am really out of the loop (not that I'm ever in the loop) and it sounds interesting

This is the something.

I don't think there is a way of this not being a mess, it was a mess from the first time dan conceived the idea. And I can believe that this happened. If it had worked, well it would have been amazing for dan. As much as I've seen so far, this was a very foolish mistake, but I doubt it will have very much affect on armorgames.

lol yeah, i read that comment too, like the McGrounds, the numaGrounds and the IGrounds, i wonder what would happen if we come here on april fools and see the whole LordBlings layout, or like tom says 'the new layout would start tomorrow' and he comes with the LordBlings layout, well, i think is too soon to know what reaction'd be... i just think its sad how mods ands important users are getting fight with each other, the ArmorGames supporters against the Hardcore Newgrounds defenders, sad..

Newground's Myspace

Who is it that run's NG's Myspace because they seem very immature and stupid

Read Bulletin From: Newgrounds.com! Date: 10 Feb 2007, 09:07 AM Subject Newgrounds got screwed! >=( Body: I am so disgusted by what Armorgames did to Newgrounds I am calling for everyone to vote 0 on any Flash that is submitted to Newgrounds that contains plugs, ads, etc, for Armorgames. Maybe if the Flash artists and programmers know we no longer support Armorgames they will stop promoting them in their Flash. I need everyone's help to pass this message along. Read about it in the new blog <3 Ng

They seem to have limited knowledge on the issue, and they encourage voting zero on artist's work just because they are sponsored by ArmorGames.

That is discussed on the comments in the link to the article thingu, we know it is unfair....

Re: Dan

First off I'm glad I read the article and Dans comments, ok the mascot is a little sketch as well as the black buildnigs, and the whole button links is also sketch.

But still I wouldn't have pointed a finger untill they copied and pasted the authors comments to something that they probably didn't ask for permision. I don't t hink its fair to blame armour games as only one person seemed to be involved.

I don't really have an opinion yet. and I plan to not really form one especially with all the bias on NG, which I completely understand. I hope he makes some more satements and I get a chance to read them. I hope people get misacused for this action and I hope Dan owns up to his intentions honestly in a polite and official manner.

Oh well, glad you linked to that and I'm glad to know. I guesse I'm going to try and ignore this topic untill more information is out

The game they pasted comments was from the Super Flash Bros, which they always sponsor. So they probably either got permission or theSFB don't really care.

Dan is the owner and CEO of ArmorGames. You have to blame ArmorGames if you blame Dan.

They aren't Armor Games didn't actually do anything during the whol contreversy. Dan acted alone, and used armor games just for content, which he did as well with Crazy Monkey games

Yeah well sadly that's not true so you shouldn't try to defend him because of that.

When you get a sponsorship with AG, Dan decides how much it's for, Dan owns it, Dan does the actual transactions, and Dan makes the business decisions.

Whether you're on AGs side or Newgrounds side or whatever, you can't argue that you can't "associate" AG with Dan. Dan basically is ArmorGames.

Might as well jump on the bandwagon.

Personally I think Dan is great, and although he could probably disprove gravity, I'd like to think he's honest at least half the time he speaks. Complete monster? I think not. The whole time I had trouble with Sierra, while they were attempting to sue me over Tosuta, Dan backed us up 100% and gave us great advice that eventually saved out asses. He stole NG, not completely through his own will, but he did. And I truly hate to say that it was a shitty thing to do. Armor Games has been such a great addition to NG, and i am truly unbiased because, I have come to truly love NG and AG as they grow throughout the years. NG has given me a home to place all my work, and to come in contact with other fellow animators, while AG has risen me up and begun my professional life as an animator. I truly think what Dan did was a stupid mistake, he really should'nt have abused his power as he did. But he brought something really great to the flash community, and I don't think his mistake should drown it out. Eventually, I hope we all forget about this like Dan wants us to (It's a bad thing, but good in the longrun). This really seems like an avoid the problem run, but it really will make things better if we just try and forget what happened. AG already has bad publicity, this has made it worse, and I really hope we can keep having these minute problems, while still keeping AG up. It makes everything more community like, and that's really what this is.

Installing Flash 8 on 2 Pcs Urgent

I really need some quick help on how to install my Version of Flash 8 onto another PC. I tried copying the files to CD, then onto the other pc, but it gives an error:-

"Please reinstall your Software

A problem was detected with your application. Please reinstall this
software to correct the problem"

But i can't find my Serial Key :(. Does anyone know a way, its quite urgent. Cheers.

RE: Dan

I'm really with jimbot in not wanting to get drawn into it; I mean, hell, two of the main things I respect and stand up for are being dragged off in two completely different directions.

Do I respect ArmorGames? Well, of course. They've given developers a chance to get rewards for something they normally couldn't expect anything from. Lots of people could argue that they make more than the artists get from ads, but then the people advertising get more than AG do from their products, and people who make games almost invariably aren't going to be up to making money from them without help from sites like AG.

Do I respect copyright? Definately. I make no attempt whatsover to cover up my absolute contempt for people who exploit artists just for extra income, and have no repsect at all for the hard work they put in. And the site's layout? Well, arguable I support copyright more when the victim is some lone author with little influence, than a large, profitable site with thousands of hardline supporters, but it was still a pretty big error of judgement.

Do I doubt Dan's sincerity? Well sure, sometimes. There've been plenty of times where I've thought that behind all of his politeness and aura of respect for developers, he was just playing a very clever game. But LordBling was by no means a very clever thing to do, and for all my paranoia over the intentions of the CEO of a big site, I've seen nothing but him but total honesty in the end, even if he can be a little political much of the time.

Well, in the end, I don't really know what to think. Really I have no idea what Dan or anyone else involved were thinking. I think the best thing by far would be for everyone to just open up and give their interperetations on what happened, otherwise we're just running around in circles trying to find someone to blame for everything.

I'm probably going to go dark for a week or so, anyway. I can't handle all of this conflict :P Wait for my 6666th post or something, then just spend a bit of time offline.

Install the trial and enter your serial. It requires proper registry.

If you registered Flash online, you should be able to find your serial from your account on the Macromedia website.
