Even if it's like 1% of rhe way there, or if you cant sgare the numbers, even having an annual goal to increase the backer count each year could work for incwntivising people to back. Some kinda graspable statistic.

We used to show goals and progress but it didn't help, I think it actually did the opposite, where seeing progress actually made people get depressed and give up. There's a long ways to go, there are enough people here to make it happen but there will have to be a larger incentive system in the future and we have a list of things we plan to try. Posts like the one I made today never really move the needle either so I'm not sure why I even bring it up, I just like to remind people once in a while in case it helps.

As far as a general status update, we're at 8,451 supporters at the moment, which is keeping the hosting going. I'd like to find a way to double that.


Maybe like, doing a movie with couple of hundreds of animators plus doing a gofundme page to finance it, then

maybe put it real theaters? Could be worth it if you know how to make a script and plan it right.

I was logged out for some reasons, and I thought it was some bug. I got my account back. I thought I got hacked; it scared me for a bit.

Get Logged Out?

It appears a bunch of people have gotten logged out of their accounts. At first we thought the common thread was Chrome for Android, then just Chrome in general but now we have a report from Pingu who was using Firefox.

If you’ve recently been logged out of NG unexpectedly, please reply to this post letting us know that it happened. Include what day it happened, your operating system, browser and browser version if possible. Do you recall what you were doing on NG when it happened? Also let us know if you get logged out more than once and/or if you’ve been logged out from other sites as well.

We're especially curious to hear if anyone experienced this as early as June 12th (or earlier).


I was logged out... yesterday? 6/21, I use Brave (Version 1.67.119 Chromium: 126.0.6478.114 (Official Build) (64-bit)), running Windows 10, and I was just on the front page, not doing anything.

Response to Get Logged Out? + NordVPN Update 2024-06-22 13:17:36


Got logged out of Firefox 126 on 64-bit Fedora Linux 40 (Workstation Edition) by June 15th, but was logged in when I had last visited on the 9th. I didn't do anything special before getting logged out; I only visited the front page before noticing the "Login/Sign Up" button and the supporter banner.


If it makes a difference, I always have plenty of NG tabs in the background, albeit unloaded until they're opened. I also keep my Newgrounds login session in a container and use the Cookie AutoDelete add-on (with NG whitelisted), and have never been spuriously logged out of NG until now.


Interestingly, I never got logged out on mobile, where I use Vanadium (a Chromium fork) on Android 14 / GrapheneOS.

i got logged out that day and had to do an email verification - no biggie. i'm on firefox, windows 10, was looking at the forums, my own profile, and then the NG chat.

Glad to know it wasnt just me! I just signed out overnight as well, thought it was just my browser getting rid of some cookies but i wasn't signed out of any other site.

Using windows 10, firefox 127.0 . Was signed out while i was offline so it wasnt related to any activity on NG specifically!

Response to Get Logged Out? + NordVPN Update 2024-06-22 21:04:35


Got logged out 2 days ago. Signed back in yesterday. Today I got an email dated about an hour ago saying


"This is an automated message from Newgrounds.

There's been a new sign in attempt on your Newgrounds account.

If this was you, please enter the code below to continue:"


This was NOT me an hour ago! Changed password but something has been compromised around here!

Response to Get Logged Out? + NordVPN Update 2024-06-22 21:30:48


I was logged out yesterday, Windows 10, Firefox, had to log back in and was sent an email veritication code thing, then just a short bit ago I was sent another code as if there had been another log in attempt that was not me. Thing is, it was the exact same code as I got yesterday. Was this just a resent email?

Response to Get Logged Out? + NordVPN Update 2024-06-22 23:02:54


Just now, Windows 10, Firefox. It made me enter a code from my email to log back in.


Shoot, I thought it was weird and almost posted on another forum, but I was logged out some time near the middle of the week. I'm on Firefox 127.0.1 (64-bit)/Ubuntu, and do not use NordVeep. Haven't been logged out again since, though.

NG password was changed soon as I saw the 2nd email. No other places use the same password. The email keeps recent activity for the last 30 days. No one but me has tried to sign in to my email account.


I think I got logged out like 2 days ago, I was using Google Chrome and had two-factor setup. It logged me out on mobile too. I run Windows (PC) and Android (Mobile).

Same thing happened to me, then I'd noticed the second email had the same code as the first. I'm wondering if something about the site is just resending the email

Was logged out today for the first time on Android Chrome 126.0.6478.110

Went to check my desktop and thankfully still logged in on Firefox & Edge

I don't have either email to see if they where the same code. I make extra sure to delete those types of emails just in case those code do stay active by some mistake and than I get email hacked and lose more things by have emails like that laying in the trash.



Got logged out, using opera gx. Just had the tab open in the background so I cant pinpoint the exact time that it happened, but if I had to guess it was probably yesterday, 06/22


This was posted by someone who likely doesn't know what they are talking about.

It is likely from some internal changes, will hopefully get solved this week!

We see why it's happening, basically anyone who has been logged in for over a year is getting logged out (they aren't supposed to be, the clock is supposed to get reset whenever they are active on the site but that apparently stopped resetting around this time last year). The full fix probably won't be today, I'll make a post when that's all sorted out.

Confirming that this is probably what happened. Also means that just logging back in should fix it for at least another year.


Failing over and over doesn't make you a failure. The only failures are the ones who don't try.

It's so good to know what actually happened now.

I was worried at first that something unsavory might have happened, so it's good to know it was just a hiccup and nothing bad. Thanks for all the time you and the team put into solving this for us all :)

Got logged out as well, on two computers, both running Firefox - somewhere last week. On my phone (Chrome on Android) I had no issue at all.

Was Logged in on 6/23. Noticed I was logged out when I went to check NG at 4 am on 6/24.

Any idea as to why the log in code emails would be resent, as seemed to happen to some folks?


I don't remember if it was saturday or sunday (june 22/23) but I was logged out of all of my devices sometime over the weekend. That was:

-Brave browser - Android

-Firefox - Win10

-Firefox - iOS


I use Nord VPN but haven't had any issues beyond that one-time logout situation.


Good news is 2FA works like a charm.
