Fuck yeah Tom Fulp. I don't think the guy gets enough credit for Newgrounds. That place was doing user generated content before anything on the likes of Youtube.
That place really was a community of creativity. I don't visit it anymore, apart from a peek at the programming forum, but I still see its influence today. Most of the people I talk to around my age and in my sphere of work, if they have some sort of design, game or animation talent you can always trace their roots back to Newgrounds.
But then, they'd have to say that anyway. If they said they hated the way it's come about, they'd get stick from the new bosses.
I don't want to speculate how Norm and Will feel. If they say they are happy with it then I guess they would be. If what you imply is the case, that would unfortunately mean that Will and Norm have zero integrity.
For me this is difficult situation to understand, was this a choice made by WhiskeyMedia or by Will and Norm?
I can only approach this situation as a fan of tested. I like Will and Norm and I go to tested because of them. They are what tested are about for me. I don't care in the slightest about mythbusters. So site being sold off to mybusters (that's what the branding seriously implies) is a real slap in the face.
