People keep floating Newgrounds as a dAlternative, but any site that vets uploads by mass appeal is not a reliable archive. I'm not surprised a site that built its reputation on Flash games sells itself to the gamerbro mindset; I don't know what the culture is today (embedded users claim it's better than it used to be), but I remember it had a reputation for being virulently anti-furry. TL;DR: Good for a visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Why I left Newgrounds + etc
The reason I left Newgrounds is that I made an account on here and moved here as a new archive spot, and I also don’t want to stay in a site that lets the bullies win in a dumb drama and making people leave, so that’s why I left Newgrounds. (I know I messed with a so called “Christian” on there but whatever, I bet he still spams in the forums to this day, I won’t check and find out, I rather stay here and mind my business.) I already know DA is a giant sinking ship, Newgrounds will end up like that too if the mods stop being over-confident dorks about crap. (Yeah I’m roasting NG’s mods and janitors.) Ok I’m done ranting.

@Thorvald: I wouldn’t want to live in Newgrounds as a new art home either tbh, at least I have Pixiv, S7, and my repo for archiving art I posted to my DA and Colorslive.
@Thorvald: Anti-furry? Brother the furry rt was everywhere and they didn't stop hitting on me x-x Times certainly have changed but the toxicity stays the same
@Warehouse_Rabbit: I’m sorry you got pestered by sex pests, also sorry for blocking you back then as well on NG, that’s a jerkwad thing of me to do tbh.
@N0-11: (sorry for the late reply, I was away from the site for a few days x-x)
I mean, I blocked you first on DA so that's fair xwx You can say I was a bit, well, disgruntled about anyone who did nsfw after my whole experience.
@Warehouse_Rabbit: I understand tbh, I forgive you man. (>O.0)> (I’ll be quiet/private with making that kind of art anyways too, since I know you’re not a fan and all.) (I seriously been blocked over saying I like a cartoon another person despises aka CC, and your block is more tame in comparison.
@Warehouse_Rabbit: One more thing I want to say that you have a right to block me again, if you want to too, and yeah.
@N0-11: Nah, you're fine. I kinda just wish there were more people like you that kept these things under wraps, you know? My experience with newgrounds and some people at DA was surreal, I mean those people are just in your face, you know?
@Warehouse_Rabbit: Yeah, I really wish some artists on DA just put a mature filter on stuff that could get them deleted, and yeah, sometimes some people mis-rate their stuff on Newgrounds somehow too, which is frankly just lazy imo. (I can easily rate a drawing I post on here no problem.)
@Warehouse_Rabbit: I even make sure to put nsfw art under an adult blur filter as well, so some people have no excuse imo.
