The forumgoers are not entirely without redeeming qualities, however. Every once in a while, an [[uber]]-[[l33t]] h4xx0r will make the http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic.php?id=412116" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">post of the century, sparking discussion of the highest caliber.
It is hard for members [[not]] to be [[fucktard]]s with the example set by admins, such as the founder's art posted in the http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic.php?id=499493" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Unicorns with Dicks for Horns thread, in which, literally on company time, employees of the proprietor of Newgrounds were paid to render pornographic horse phalli for purposes unknown, delaying the promised redesign of the website to [[at least 100]] years later, on July 17th, 2007.
Posts by regular members that contain similar content however will be instantly locked, due to the fact that the BBS has [[Over 9000|over fifty moderators]] that consist of [[Basement dwellers|everyone who has a five-figure post count]]. The Newgrounds moderators also fill the same function as [[404]], immediately pouncing on any thread that reaches a certain length like a pack of rabid dogs and racing each other to the lock button. [[LOL WUT|Yes, that really is how they do things over there.]]
The golden rule is fairly simple: never, ever, EVER do anything that could stimulate [[teh]] [[lulz]] in anyone. Doing such things are grounds for an immediate [[ban]] [[in the ass]] from one of their moderators.
Never do anything [[unfunny]] either, or risk getting flamed to hell by a bunch of [[13 year old boys]].
To become accepted in this community of blatant suck, the following actions must be performed to the letter:
#Bitch constantly about how everyone is bitching constantly about how people are bitching constantly about how people are bitching constantly about something. Get to the point where you don't even remember what was being bitched about in the first place if possible.
#Never speak to someone with a higher post count; it is categorically forbidden.
#Suck up to the mods day and night, to facilitate a [[slave|healthy relationship]]. A mod-cock a day keeps the [[banstick]] away!
#If you really want to be funny, (not to be confused with stimulating [[teh]] [[lulz]],) you have to have a post count of 10,000 and make a thread with a [[retarded]] title like "OMG GUYS LIEK HELP ME GET ACROSS THIS LAKE" with a MS Paint image of a stickman (you) on one side of a lake and no bridge to the other side. You will soon get other people drawing unoriginal MS Paint contraptions to help your stickman get to the other side. These threads, however [[unfunny]] they may be to the disgusted [[oldfags]], usually last for about 5 pages until a mod come by and realizes people are having a good time, so they lock it and ban everyone who posted in it.
No matter how horrible the site is, and has increasingly become, though, at least it doesn't didn't have emoticons; It does now. A candlelight vigil, if you will, for the effective spiritual death of the site.
