If you want to see Newgrounds rise up against YouTube for animators and don't mind gambling $3 a month on the dream, we literally need thousands more supporters before we can challenge YouTube monetization:
Thank you for all the Birthday wishes! I got Tweets, FB Wall posts, DMs, PMs and my former boss from SmithKline says her daughter saw it on Instagram, which I haven't even been checking. The Internet!
Nowadays we work to make ad-free the default for everyone, but very much depend on support from those who can chip in $3-5 a month! Thank you everyone who has helped keep NG going over the years!
Heads up, a datacenter belonging to our host was lost in a fire last night. No one was hurt and it's not the facility where NG is hosted (we also have backups), however it appears to be having a larger impact on our host this morning and NG is currently down.
On Newgrounds you can watch The Ultimate Showdown ad-free on the page where it was first uploaded to the Internet, in video or the original Flash format via emulation. However if you Google The Ultimate Showdown:
Sharing this reply because I still come across a lot of people with this question. As usual, your support helps preserve and continue 23+ years of Internet history!
If you're rediscovering Newgrounds while YouTube is down, here are some animation playlists with stuff from the past year. I'll start with Animation Fest 2020:
Once the game is up it will get stolen by a bunch of sites that outrank us on Google and this will all feel for naught, however we want to get better at this each time and it will take a commitment to excess capacity.
Flash Forward 2024 is a go! The goal of this event is to create new Flash games and interactive movies, playable in the browser via Ruffle. We're crowdfunding to increase the prizes, if you'd like to sponsor this event!
If you come to Newgrounds today for the Ultimate Showdown 15th Anniversary Collab, take some time to poke around the rest of the site afterwards! You'll probably find a lot of cool stuff.
A big mistake people make is they see something you made and assume it's 100% exactly what you wanted to make, while they could picture something better, not realizing you picture something even better than what they're picturing.
BTW sorry if the site just crashed on you while trying to become a Supporter. We have additional hardware coming but it can't come fast enough, in the meantime we're trying to squeeze more out of what we have.
Merry Christmas! Unrelated but I just realized that starting April 6th, every single day will be the 20th anniversary of something uploaded to Newgrounds.
We just launched a new art viewer that makes large art more fun to browse on NG. I included links to a bunch of large pieces and pixel art that make good use of it:
Fun fact: After releasing the web version of Alien Hominid in 2002,

and I started making a second level. It never got finished because we changed gears to make the console version of AH. Here's a robot powered by vodka:
The Neo Geo Jam is a GO! Categories for Animation, Fan Art and Neo Geo-like Music, with prizes. This one is really close to my heart and I'm excited to see what everyone makes!
The Justice Department and eight states sued Google on Tuesday, accusing the company of harming competition with its dominance in the online advertising market
Hey remember a month ago when the New York Times released a Pentagon video of a UFO and we all ignored it and have now completely forgotten about it? lol
Gonna formally announce an Among Us themed animation jam tomorrow! We're raising money for the prize pool; if you'd like to donate, use the Donation box on our Supporter page and give me a heads up you've donated towards the jam:
Our third annual Flash Forward Jam has officially launched and we're crowdfunding prizes! This event tasks people with creating new Flash content, to run in browsers via Ruffle.
Go Go Kudamono is still coming!
2020 and 2021 have been rough, but this project is super important to me. It IS still happening!

HP printers use your color ink even when printing in black and white and will stop allowing you to print when you run out of color ink, even if you have a fresh cartridge of black ink. It's the most evil thing I've experienced in modern hardware.

You emailed Support two hours ago and immediately made this tweet afterwards? As I explained in my reply, without the spam check NG would be overrun with bot spam. You got flagged, you chose to email staff to have a human being validate you, which I did almost an hour ago.
