Really great read. Nice work everyone.
Regarding the war against YouTube, NG should use YouTube's own power against it and make more of these: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqeFxVh-yU4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqeFxVh-yU4</a>
Nice
Why does this interview have such a negative tone? Like, you seem to think of Newgrounds as an artless website filled with idiots...
Cool interview, I hope NG is around forever. Youtube feels so lifeless by comparison.
If (when) I become a multi-millionaire superstar, I'll still upload dick pics here every now and then.
Wow, what a lot of questions he answered and good job to both of you! :)
Great interview! Very insightful.
Nice!
Here are some of my responses to the interview. (Putting in Toms answer might be too much.)
Q) "Ryanson: What does an average day in the life consist of for you?
My Thoughts: That's awesome!
Q) Amaranthus: Did you ever feel frustrated because some user on NG was heavily spamming and/ or insulting you?
My Thoughts: Wow!
Q) Entice: What's your favorite and least favorite part of Newgrounds?
My Thoughts: Wow, interesting. I have met some wonderful people here and made some fun things with them. =)
Q) Narcissy: Can we please have optional backgrounds?
My Thoughts: Newgrounds hurts my eyes! The black background and white text! I think it might cost some energy to browse the site? I'd preffer this place to have lighter backgrounds with darker text. But yeah! Dark backgrounds does give atmosphere.
Q) Out of everyone that you've worked with over the years with the site, who would you say has been your most valuable co-worker and why? It can be either one individual, or multiple people.
My Thoughts: Nice answer, Tom! ;)
Q) I-smel: Is it annoying that content creators get good to the point that they move away from Newgrounds?
My Thoughts: I don't see a reason to "move away". I have no problems with this site, so why not have both? (NG and Youtube)
Q) Ryanson: Can you see yourself, 5 or 10 years in the future? What would have become of you? What would have become of Newgrounds?
My Thoughts: Nice!
Q) TheCupcakeArmy: Anything you can tell us about Battleblock Theater?
My Thoughts: Wow.
Q) egg82: What users do you miss the most? What people do you enjoy having now?
My Thoughts: Nice answer! Blogging is a nice idea. Maybe I'll try after this current project.
Q) Unknown: When are you returning to the UK?
My Thoughts: Nice!!!
Cool read.
Custom backgrounds on submission pages would change everything. I can only hope they decide to implement it some day
Man, Tom is one chill motherfucker. I wouldn't want anyone else running this place.
That was one hell of an ambiguous answer to the question about Stamper. :P
Anyway, I enjoyed reading that. Tom just seems like such a humble guy and I love him for it.
I enjoy reading this :)
Don't make Tom angry. You wont like him when he's angry!
Wow, this is a really interesting read, successful people in the flash community always inspire me. Especially ones like Tom Fulp!
Good read, NewGrounds should become more outspoken on YouTube especially since a lot of animations seem to move over to YT eventually, NG could do what Mashitima do with popular content, not only do 'artists' (I use that term loosely) make more money by having their content on Machinima's page but Machinima also makes profit.
Or something. I don't know~
Great interview. Enjoyed reading this.
Good read. Tom's gotta focus on the Passport system, search functionality and it's YouTube channel... looks like damn ghost town. The conversion to mobile interactivity is also good way to hook new kids.
Well, this was much fun to read :D
Looking forward to see the Lit-portal, make it happen guys!
Good reading, now I just need to go back and read those other interviews too....

I could have sworn I was the one that asked him about his trip to return to the UK sometime in the near future. However, I do appreciate hearing an answer regarding that so the odds of seeing him at a meet are still grim over the next few years but you never know that different turns life will take on you so it could be sooner than expected.
Everyone else did a good job at asking Tom various questions so it was great reading them all. :)
