This is a really great update.
HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!
Such an awesome update, thanks Tom and the team!!
Great stuff! NG just keeps on getting better and better
It's cool how the voting's finally been revised, but it also feels like saying goodbye to one of the last pages on this website with the old early-mid 2010s style.

I was actually gonna mention it when the calendar was updated that the monthly voting was the last main thing that needed a visual overhaul (at least that I know of). Great work, can't wait to check it out!

On the one hand, it would probably be a major ballache to implement. On the other hand, ActivityPub support would give NG some inroads into the fediverse, which could work out pretty well if Twitter's demise causes it to blow up.

This is something we still need to dive into, to see what all it would involve.
A tricky thing with NG is that if we end up serving files to millions of people on third party apps, it would make the whole situation here even more untenable with hosting fees.
With the introduction of these new categories, additional prizes are in order. To start, we’ll award $100 each to our first place Art and first place Music.
YESSSSSSSS, you love to see it! If I had money to burn I'd sponsor Audio in a heartbeat
Yes! I absolutely and excited for the Voting Overhaul, along with featuring art and music for the vote!
Thank you so much @PsychoGoldfish
How does one become part of the voting pool? Am I way off the required XP?

Loving the new site changes you rock Tom :D
I make animations and whatever I can
like the change to doing it 7th - 14th. always felt like there are biases towards games posted at the start of the month versus late, so hopefully this change will make it a little more fair. also movie and game voting separated is awesome !!
check out my games !

Currently it's the people in the top group of XP but we'd like to expand it to include more of the artists on the site, so we're working out some plans there.
Thanks so much for overhauling this, I couldn't vote for July because I was so busy and the time window was so short, the inclusion of new categories has me SO excited too!

From what i understand the hosting fees dont get very bad because the other servers start hosting the content when it gets pulled into their service when someone shares it. It also helps that servers usually publicize how much the server costs are and how much theyre getting in monthly donations so the members make sure to always keep a healthy amount in the servers “bank”.
If i ever get enough money i'll become a sponsor :D
Sadly, emm, i am broke :'(
professional ksp player. also, i have like 5 websites right now, xdd
Loving the mobile-friendly changes to the monthly voting system! That was actually the last major part of the site that was still on the 2012 layout, wasn't it?

Yup, we have one old page that still needs a redirect and some pages related to the defunct rev-share system but other than that, our list is all internal pages, which we'd also like to tackle for the sake of tidying up.
Massive W For Tom Fulp and NG Teams
Viby sleek blue website skin. The cartoony blueprint wallpaper is also nice.
Some nice and hefty changes and updates
~X~
Happy to see art and music added to monthly voting! I'm not a big animation watcher so I didn't end up participating that often, but that might change now.
I make music and art sometimes.

Team? Isn't it just Jeff & like one other person? I'm out of the loop.
I'm just some dork who's loved NG since 2004, yet isn't very artistic himself. You should check out my massive favorites lists.
