ok so how that works, is basically you got a project you like so much, lets say i got a game thats a zombie shooter, people think it perfectly belongs in the collection of Zombie Games. so they can request your project to be added to the collection or series that it perfectly targets, instead of PBot having to add them himself


I hate life


I miss profiles that were little pop-up windows. With a level, a light-side or dark-side karma, and a weapon of some sort, usually a boxing glove because most newbs don't rate flashes.

I think forum shitposting is still around sort of, but it's more so in user news.

General seemed like a cool idea at the time, though.

I remember seeing the light-side and dark-side karma somewhere. I was never really sure what it was for, but it added a nice aesthetic.

I had a dream last night that I was scrolling through Newgrounds today and I noticed the wall art was different. It was exactly like the one from 2012 with the original orange and yellow city look, as well as the tank being back with the logo!

I wonder what other Newgrounds features have been phased out or lost to time?
Well here's a forum where everyone can talk about features they miss, want back, or new features that we be fun to add!


MUSIC VISUALIZERS. angry face bopping to the songs on the portal was fun and I wish you could switch back to that :/

Aso, now when theres a drop,silence,or big scream or any sudden change like that you know its coming because of the soundwave displayed. I think that ruins some surprises in songs and voiceacting scenes)


And yea, yellow blocky design for the front page buttons was cool, but I guess it makes sense that it became how it is now, considering they also had to redesign stuff thinking of mobile users...

Wow! I didn't know there used to be a visualer for audio. I can see why they changed it to though. It's a lot more convenient to be able to skip through songs if you already heard it. I think a visualizer would go great with Newgrounds Radio though.

I think it could use a bit of a design overhall, since the little window isn't very pleasing to look at. It works better on mobile, which is where I assume it was intended for.

I think some of the old design elements could be re-implemented in a new way. Maybe giving some shine or metallic feel to embrace the 2000's aesthetic.

I think I found it!

I was looking through an old BBS forum post and found two users with the same level, but different karma.

These are the newer, updated ones. I want the originals! They were better, more polish is not always an improvement.

I found this temporary banner for Breast Cancer Awarness Month back in 2007!

As a side note, does anyone know what the NG.MAG section was for, going to the link now just gives me an error and not some old version like the Club a Seal link or Tellabubby Funland.
