The epitamy of all flash sites. Originally started in 1996 by Tom Fulp, the site was originally made to showcase his work. These include: FDA, Tellytubbie funland, and Pico, among others. The site later grew, and in it's growth needed more people to help run it. Tom's brother Wade joined, and other programmers and administrators have since come in and gone out. The site has since become a place where anyone can submit flash. Currently, it also includes an audio portal, where musicians can submit music which flash artists can use in their flash for free. Also, it has a bbs, which is a great asset to the site. It now includes such internet phenomenons as All Your Base and badger badger badger. It also includes amazingly fantastic series such as Salad fingers, eskimo bob, xombie, xiao xiao, assasin, miss dynamite, Klaymation, and countless others Some authors that have thier own websites, such as Legendaryfrog or Weebl sumbit much of their flash to Newgrounds, in hopes of attaining more people who will visit their website. Some of my favorite authors are: Knox (for his klaymation), legendaryfrog (for basically everything), jotandjab (retarded animal babies), David Firth (salad fingers series, with a few other outside flashes here and there), iwillpress (foamy), and more than i can fit. If you are looking for entertainment on the internet, Newgrounds comes out on top. Because it is constantly growing with hilarious, amazing, or truly innovative flashes (Interactive boogie anyone?), Newgrounds has years worth of entertainment on one free site.

A web site that is filled with flash entries, games, and music you can use as long as you credit the user, people who are recognized are normally people who are popular, like Tom Fulp's games and flash entries. When you rate on the 0-5 scale, you can get experience points, usually when you rate five times on different flash/games submissions. By rating, you can blam, or delete, or protect, or save from deleting, a flash/game/audio submission. Sometimes Newgrounds is called The Portal.
Newgrounds is an okay web site, it's just like YouTube, except with epic soundtrack, decent games, and awesome flashes submitted into the Portal.

A large community website that is famous for the variety of flash cartoons and games presented on it by it's users and (sometimes) it's creators. Although famous for it's reputation of being an offensive website in it's early years, recently it has developed into an extremely well-done site for all ages (if you look at the rating system) It plays host to over 250,000 cartoons and games. The famous Numa Numa Dance was first broadcasted on the site. It is also famous for being thieved upon by websites like Ebaum's World and Flashplayer. Creators Tom and Wade Fulp have created 2 console flash games.
Mike: Man did you see that awesome cartoon on Newgrounds that came out last week?
Tom: But ebaums said it was made today.
