I wouldn't call Newgrounds a game portal. It started as a content portal, hosting Flash movies (mostly animation...generally with sex, violence, drugs, FDA or what not in it). It gave artists recognition and a chance to reach a very large (but fickle) audience. The payment stuff was added just recently (probably because Tom is starting to make a profit on the sucker). I still don't see the money offer as the point of Newgrounds, it is more like icing on the cake. I still know several artist who host on Newgrounds because when they tried to host their cartoons on their own site, they got hit with a huge bill.

Also, at least Newgrounds content is provided by the authors, and it is not filled with stolen content. (Unlike some other portals I can name but won't)

Ya thats really scary, I finally finished my first game that is pretty good. Its actually really good considering its my first game, alot better then these dodge the maze with youre mouse first game posts you see. I was going to post it and get some feedback but now that dosnt sound so fun.
It's up to you. If I have a finished project, I'd show it here, no problem. It still takes time for people to "make a clone" of something. Since I have little time to work on stuff, it often takes me months to complete something which would have taken days if I was just working on it 8 hours a day (like my real job). So that's the only reason I'm concerned. Otherwise, I wouldn't really care as much.
