I like to think of things that make me smile, then bundle up those smiles into silly, semi-violent, cartoon-shaped packages, and then give them to people over the internet! SMILES FOR ALL!!!

Goodbye, OldGrounds...

Posted by WhiteLightning - February 4th, 2012


My fondest farewells to the Newgrounds layout I know and love...you've been good to me. I guess it has to regenerate sometime though, right? I don't really want it to go, but maybe the next one will be even cooler with flashier graphics.

I'm going through a transition phase myself, website included. The design is already lookin' pretty snazzy, and I can't wait to get started. I also just got a 1.5 Terabyte hard drive because I'm actually out of space on the near Terabyte I already had :| For those interested, I'm gonna commit to updating my webcomic weekly once I have a home for it on my own site; it's the very least I can do. As for videos, I have another new one! That makes three in about a month. Not bad.

In less-than-awesome news, there is now a Youtube channel under the name...you're not going to believe this...whitelightningkyle. Yep. Only I can suffer from that amount of evil, evil irony. To make it worse, he does and is everything that I hate about the internet...vlogs, letsplays, vulgarity, you name it. AND he has waaaaay more subscribers than me, and the channel's been around for six months.

Anyway, I'd like to make it clear that I am IN NO WAY suggesting that anyone search this guy's channel name on Youtube, scroll until you find my videos because I included his name as a tag in all of them, and click on them to make them move up the list.

Also, thanks to everyone for spreading around No Service so much! I still can't believe how well that's done and how many more fans it got me in a single sweep. I feel very fortunate :)

The best of days to you all,
-Kyle Sullivan

Haha, I feel the same way about the layout change. I expect a massive shitstorm for a while about how bad the new site layout is, kinda like what happened when Tom changed it years ago. Tom's a fucking genius though so it's probably going to be amazing.

To clarify I'm not saying the new layout is/will be shit, considering I haven't seen it :P

Yeah, I'm sure it'll be pretty awesome. They have been working on it for at least a year now, after all. I'm excited to see it :)

I think I might like the new layout. When this layout came I was trying to get used to it. I hope the new layout is good.

Newgrounds is one of the few if not the only website I trust to make good redesign decisions. I look forward to it.

I was around for the 2007 redesign, but I hadn't been active enough here to really care that much. Now that I visit NG almost every day, it's going to be tough to let go of my fond memories of this layout...

Yeah, I started on Newgrounds in 08-09, so this is the only one I've ever known. So it will be weird, but I think I'll get used to it.

yep - here's to the redesign; hoping it doesn't turn the site to kryptonite. Remember, it wasn't that long ago when NG users were seriously flaming over YouTube stealing our content.... why align ourselves with un-honorable site?

Keep it rockin' ... and do more film stuffz.

I will indeed :)

I'm actually terrified of the redesign. I've known Newgrounds for 5 years, and now it's going to change. X(

wow. this is good. im not sure if i like the new newgrounds design because i dont know where everything is anymore. looks cool tho :)
