Video game music is almost always fine.
Almost? In which case is it not allowed?
(Sorry if I'm wasting your time)
We're much more concerned with music that is associated with recording companies. Sometimes video game soundtracks fall into that category, often they don't.


here are some resources for ya Hoppio

https://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/creator-resources/music-and-audio-resources/royalty-free-music


look for copyright symbols, if there is a symbol then don't use that audio

audio copyright symbols are usually found in the description of the youtube description

if one does not exist then it's likely fine... Guthrie, Pingu, Brokendeck, LexRodent or B0UNC3 are good people to also check with about the choice of an audio track

As per Art Guidelines

Age Guidelines
Please don't create and share adult art here if you are under 18; it's awkward.

According to DeviantArt, OP is 15:


Also those last two are definitely stolen. They're NSFW, but the source should be somewhere.


However, this is Art Portal shit, flag as normal, only there's no need to bring them up here.

Not gonna say it, but just BECAUSE it doesn't break the guidelines doesn't mean they're clear.

Listen, if I see a guy posting artwork BUT their artwork has clashing artstyles in their profile, you gotta check if it's stolen, because I've seen this guy, who I assume didn't read the Art guidelines, think they can post whatever art they want, regardless of art that THEY made. I flagged those submissions because they were clearly stolen because their "original" artwork was just dogshit edits of Lego characters, while the stolen artwork look waaay better than the "original" artwork.

Don't post links that have thumbnails and will become an A rated submission. Put a dot (.) or a word (<EXPLICIT>) or put the link inside a sentence so that it shows as a URL instead of an A rated thumbnail in the forum. Example:

The ROTC Program requires reaching Portal Security (400 B/P minimum) and having a Normal whistle or higher (i.e. not Garbage).

Becoming a full Barracks member* requires reaching Private (2.5k B/P minimum) and getting a Bronze whistle or higher.


Getting Bronze isn't particularly hard - I myself got to Bronze less than half a year after making my account.

Don't beat yourself up, commander! Without you, no one would be announcing anything after all, remember! I always look forward to these, no matter how belated they may be, or how insignificant my own contributions. The Barracks is a bastion of NG's history and its staunchest protector!


That's 364.60 per day, or 20.26 per day per active member.


I had to chime in here. Remember when my username used to be Andrea364? That was ten years ago! And we're still here. That's an achievement :)


Should there be any new applicants, my desk is always open. I will however be touching grass intermittently, be advised! New job is going swell.
