Takeover Tuesday!

Today is our first ever Takeover Tuesday!


Today and every Tuesday for the foreseeable future, each Supporter has access to feature one item on the front page.


If someone features an item that was already featured, it will bump it back to the top of the page and add their name to the front of the list of people who have featured it.


At the end of the day, the results of Takeover Tuesday will be archived. Entries will be ranked first by the total number of people who featured them and second by when they were featured, so you get rewarded for starting early. The featured-by credits will also switch to chronological order, so the first person to feature an item will be first on the list in the archive.


Everyone is invited to react to the featured items with emotes, to make things more fun all around.


We’re excited and curious to see what you do with this and we hope it encourages more of you to come aboard as Supporters. Your support keeps NG going and growing, thank you everyone who helps to keep the dream alive!


Even if you can't be a Supporter, you can help make the day a success by viewing the things people feature!

This is an excellent idea!

I'm not against the concept, but it takes up way too much of the screen. So much scrolling, just to get to the actual content of the home page. I'd suggest making the Takeover Tuesday items way smaller. Maybe even put them in a grid.

Not a fan of how much self-promo there is, but I'm sure that'll change over the following events - this is a neat feature, can't wait to see it grow!

Maybe, in order to prevent the main page from being too cluttered for guests, you should add a ‘collapse’ tab that hides the list, even only partially with at least three of the most popular or most recent still visible, while keeping the Takeover Tuesday banner on.

Uuuuu! I like it, recommendations of online art enthusiasts. Too bad I don't have a credit card, maybe I could become a supporter and change my nickname to some orginal one instead of my name (never log in with Google Gmail)

HAPPY TAKEOVER TUESDAY EVERYONE

I went with givin’ an older Flash I liked back in the day some love!


I love the idea of reacting to people’s frontpages, excited for that to be fixed!


I also agree with others that it could use a little more condensing on the frontpage, I don’t mind it taking such center stage though!

I second this. it looks like mobile design on desktop, which feels a bit obnoxious.

I entered newgrounds and my brain melted for a moment while I tried to understand what was going on. This is a kewl concept btw, curious to see how it develops in the future

Agreed, the only content I care to see is from those I follow and now that list is far down the page. Seemed broken when I first encountered it too. On a side note the entire element can just be blocked via ad-blocker so..:shrug:
