* {{Feelies}}: The Newgrounds store can be seen as this. It was finally closed down in 2013 due to it taking up too much space and starting to cost too much to keep a physical store in their building. While the store itself is closed, the staff still give away or sell stuff that did not manage to get sold at events or during contents on occasion.

Around 2002, they had to start running ads for porn sites in order to pay the bills and update their aging servers, something Tom Fulp regards as one of the darkest moments in the site's history.

** Early on in the site's history, a movie called ''You're a Raging Psychopath Snarlie Brown!'' by user Evil Dave nearly bankrupted Tom Fulp and Newgrounds. The Creator/UnitedFeatureSyndicate kept sending him e-mails which he ignored and mocked, until he found out that they weren't bluffing -- he was going to get hit with serious legal charges. He tried to negotiate by adding a beard on Snarlie and adding a few more changes, but it wasn't enough. Under the risk of having to enter a drawn-out legal battle, he settled out of court with them and removed the video, which wasn't publicly seen again until 2011, when the original version was reuploaded without incident.
