I had a dream, nay, a vision, and in this vision was a place known as Newgrounds. It was the year 2010. There was a robot in every house hold, cars could fly, and women knew that they belonged in the kitchen. But that was just the beginning, yes indeed. One day in the year of 2010 i decided to check back on my old time killer, Newgrounds.com.
It would seem the site had gone threw some major changes. While the yellow and orange colour scheme had long since moved on to a colour scheme of Orpiment and Cadmium, the user base itself remained unchanged. Tom Fulp with all his wisdom knew that in order to keep the people happy he would need cater to this generation of internet savy children, and so, a new voting and review system was born. This generation didnt have the brain power to discern between good and bad, nor did they have the intelligence to put there thoughts into words, so Tom devised the most brilliant of schemes. It was called the "Yes/No" System. After years of studying the voting habbits of his user base Tom realised that the only 2 ratings people ever voted on a flash were "0" and "5" he realised that he could quite easily just switch the system to "Yes" for a rating of "5" and "No" for a rating of "0". And so he did, and the villagers rejoiced. But sadly, this wasnt enough, no, the review system too needed a large reworking. So once again, after much research and stat tracking he discovered most reviews consisted of either "lol funny" or "wtf, blam this shit, go die". And so, the review system was replaced with the choice of 2 pre-determined options, namely "lol funny" or "wtf, blam this shit, go die". And once again, the people rejoiced.
I couldnt help but wonder, what happened to all the artists that focused on original creations, and low and behold, there they were, complaining about the fact they get ignored, and theyre the parody animators were, bragging about the fact that their scores were infinitely higher. I had thought to myself that by this time everybody with a drop of originality would have realised it wasnt the websites fault nobody cares about them, but rather the fact that society hates what it does not understand and would refuse to support anything that was beyond its brain capacity. But no, the pointless war wages on. Would it ever end? Who could say.
By this time i had had enough, i closed my explorer window, shut down my computron and proceeded to engage in sexual intercourse with my wife, and her 2 clones. This was the tale of newgrounds.com in the year 2010.
And then i woke up...
