The current host of the Newgrounds site wanted over $1000 per month at the time, and Fulp was dropped by the only reliable advertisement revenue company due to the controversial content on NG. Banner ads were introduced to pay growing hosting bills, but Fulp was still unable to make ends meet. By 1999, traffic to Newgrounds was considerable and Fulp had to change hosts every few months. He redirected traffic from both of the older New Ground sites to Newgrounds, paying $33 per month out of pocket to host the site.įulp had to change hosts to accommodate increasing traffic, and started producing T-shirts in an attempt to pay off hosting fees. Later that year, Fulp was contacted by Inside Edition about doing a segment on "Assassin", and decided he needed to give his online creations a name that would stick, settling on "Newgrounds". A Flash front page was introduced to New Ground Atomix and the flash game "Telebubby Fun Land" was released.
In early 1998, Fulp began experimenting with Macromedia Flash. He created a separate website, New Ground Atomix, for this purpose. In 1997, Fulp created the games "Club a Seal II" and "Assassin II," and decided that he wanted a new place to host these games. New Ground Remix had a small amount of content, but did not gain a significant audience until summer of 1996, when Tom created the games "Club a Seal" and "Assassin," which brought viewers to New Ground based on their notoriety.

At this time New Ground was an entirely offline venue, and it was not until 1995 that he decided to create his own web page, naming it New Ground Remix to imply moving content online was the next step up in the brand's history. In 1994, Tom Fulp launched a Neo Geo fanzine by the name "New Ground" (from the Greek roots neo- and geo-translated into English) from his parents' basement in Perkasie, PA, sending sporadic issues to around 100 members of a club on Prodigy.
