Hey guys! It's your old buddy Knox. Sorry I haven't been around here much these days, as most of you know, ive been uploading to youtube. I still have a pretty big following, it's actually bigger than ever. Most of my videos have over 300,000 views on youtube (my Pancake Mines claymation has gotten over 2 million views), and right now i have over 50,000 youtube subscribers. So yeah, that's where i've been.

For the past couple of years i've been feeling kind of bad for turning my back on Newgrounds. Tom Fulp played a huge part in my success and i don't know where i'd be if it weren't for him and this place. I dont want him or anyone else here to think ive forgotten that. The biggest reason I've mostly been uploading to youtube (besides the fact that im a youtube partner) is because obviously klaymations and live action videos belong on youtube more than it does on Newgrounds. I never get those old "CLAYMATIONS DONT BELONG ON NEWGROUNDS" comments on youtube, and the whole place is a lot less competitive. Also, i never have to convert my MOV. files to SWF. like i do here on Newgrounds. If i did flash animation like everyone else here does, i probably would have never stopped uploading to newgrounds as much.

I hope Tom doesnt have any hard feelings about the fact that i dont come here much anymore, we used to keep in touch years ago, i haven't spoken to him in at least 2 years. I hope Tom can remember the back lash that ive often gotten from this place when ever i would upload my "non-flash" movies and can understand why i feel more comfortable on youtube. Like i said, if i actually made flash movies, i would have still been here like always.

Anyway, all year ive been wanting to upload my newest claymations to newgrounds, as i keep putting it off my claymations pile up even more. Right now i have 7 (soon to be 8) claymations that i need to upload onto Newgrounds. Well, FINALLY, as I type this message, i am converting my newest claymations to SWF. I'm finally going to upload them to Newgrounds starting this month.

In other news, I've changed Knoxs Korner to Bad Idea Pictures. My fans mostly refer to me by my real name, Robert Benfer. But here I will always be Knox!
