It's not up to you. It's up to an admin.

I was giving my personal opinion.

Maybe we can add a collection of flashes that have achieved all 4 best awards (daily 1st, weekly 1st, more than 1 million views, and review crew pick). This is so we can showcase the best of NG.

I dont know if this has already been said before, but I think that all submissions should have to go through the portal again once a year, to help eliminate all file swapping.

I think it is a nice idea. But not as a collection, but as a archive. Did you ever saw the archive for the "Newgrounds Front Page Archive". A special archive for daily awards etc.
Something like that would be a good idea.

But I have a idea too. I don't know if this is suggested yet, but after the montly voting, I want to see the flashes that I voted on, to see this back. So you can see what you are voting on.

I hear alot of big flash creators sayin about TomFulps plan to make an automated system the automaticly puts portal entries ( if they meet the criteria ) in collections

We already have that ;)

On the Flash portal page, at the bottom of each column, there's a link that says 'View All'. Click that, then select whichever award you want to see a history of, from the 'Time Period' drop-down list.

Past Weekly Winners
Past Weekly 2nd Winners
Past Weekly 3rd Winners
Past Weekly 4th Winners
Past Weekly 5th Winners

Past Daily Winners
Past Daily 2nd Winners
Past Daily 3rd Winners
Past Daily 4th Winners
Past Daily 5th Winners

Past Review Crew Picks
Past Underdogs of the Week
Past Turds of the Week

Flashes can get awards, but i think for award, author should get some experience points. For example:

Daily feature
Place - 500 Exp. Points
Place – 450 Exp. Points
Place – 400 Exp. Points
Place – 350 Exp. Points
Place – 300 Exp. Points

Weekly feature
Place – 1000 Exp. Points
Place – 800 Exp. Points
Place – 700 Exp. Points
Place – 600 Exp. Points
Place – 500 Exp. Points

Weekly users‘ choice – 1000 Exp. Points

Review crew pick – 250 Exp. Points

Underdog of the week – 100 Exp. Points

Turd of the week – 0, or 10 Exp. Points

It's a nice idea...

Heh, thank you. That idea came to my head whn i was trying to sleep. I was thinking the another way to get experience points. But i think admins think this is bad idea, and the users with for example from 25 to 30 level will be very angry:
"We are 5 years at newgrounds and we got this level by everyday depositing 10 points!"

You should think about something that keeps the balance between the users who are making flash and the ones that aren't making flash.
In the past there was another way to get exp points, but it was removed, because it is being abused.

Also, it would be nice to have the Newgrounds magazine more integrated with Newgrounds, that way more users visit it, and less topics will be made about when the next episode of some cartoon or game will be made.

ctually I think that those are good ideas. Except for the first one, I think it should be playing on the front page as opposed to a page of its own because then it woul get annoying,

Thanks for reminding me. I forgot about that.

How about having your BBS posts accessible from your account options? I can't tell you how much I dispise to ahev to go into my profile, press on my BBS posts, and wait for it too load. I don't think it would take up to much bandidth, either. :)

1) Make a little symbol that tell you if you've posted in any thread.

just simply go to your profile

2) I have a hard time telling if something is spam or not.

how would the systems tell that?

3) Make a forum that can be filled with all the stupid "who would win in a fight" threads.

we dont need a whole forum dedicated to that

4) Make the search bar for BBS topics present in every area of the BBS. On my computer, it only shows up when i click on a thread so it may only be me...

hugh?

5) make it easier to get experience.

hell no!!!!

I hope you like my suggestions

i didnt

And how about having a littel star next to sometihng on your Portal Buddies when you have a pending buddy? So you know that you have a pending buddy(ies)

Sorry if this has been suggested before, or exists, but I have managed to miis it:

Some notification when you have new PM's in your inbox. Like something in the "Inbox" button on the top-right corner. like "Inbox [n.]*" or "Inbox !".

*n being the number of new messages

Don't know if this has been posted before but a trackback like link for peoples profiles so they can link them since that seems like a question a lot of noobs are asking, how to link to their Newgrounds profiles.

I want nunchucks!

Ok, i have 1 idea(which sorta goes with an old one by me and others) and 1 suggestion...

Idea: I think reviews on blammed movies should be kept in our stats... If we are able to mark reviews abusive on blammed movies it will force people to write helpfull reviews which will help the author learn how to make better flash...

My suggestion... When ideas are suggested in here ther primarily go to benefit the normal bbs user... Now according to my profile NG has over 1,030,000 users... Only a small portion of those users use the BBS... I think some of the next ideas put into action should benefit the usuers who rarely or don't visit the BBS... But thats just a suggestion...

I reckon there should be a "spellcheck" thing when you are posting. Because then it'll stop the idiots posting stuff like "Wehre can I Find the potal" and stuff like "How did this get blamed"

Maybe it can also be for your profile, because there is more than one spelling error. But won't that idea bug most of us about 1337 talk (not like mature people use it anyway)?

Sometimes people pm me mentioning something from my reply to their pm from before, but they didn't quote what I said. So I don't know what they're talking about, so I have to look through all of my pm's until I find the one from them before. Sometimes they can be hard to find.

So add the option to sort your pms by name of sender and subject title. This will then make it easier to find past pms.

At 7/2/06 07:32 AM, Kiwibulb wrote: "How did this get blamed"

A spellcheck will pick that up how exactly? If people just read before posting, there's not a problem.

They show the scores of separate review parts here and what they are ranked by. Can we show the separate review part rankings for every single flash like the scoring ranks shown in my picture? They can be placed under the latest review area.

Well, most people will probably ignore it anyway, plus "blamed" is a legimate english word (as in "I got blamed for doing something my brother did" etc.). Blammed, actually, isn't really a real word.

Once again?

Stop repeating yourself. I read every message in here, I don't want to have to read the same things more than once.

An Outbox for the PM system. Plain and Simple.

Well, I've always wanted something like this on Newgrounds, and I hope it ain't much trouble, but on the Search bar, I think they should make something where you can choose between if your searching for a game or movie to make things a bit easier if your searching for a certain movie or game, sorry if this has already been suggested or is already up or something, heh, yeah last time I sorta posted this in the wrong spot XP

I think it'd be really neat if the option to 'show your email address' was still available. Now, it may be in line with the new layout to have both PM contact and email contact available, but for now it's a little frustrating to HAVE to get all NG correspondance via PM instead of email.

Also: another idea I had would be for the option to have your sig-pic link to your email address. I just think that'd be cool, since I have nothing else I'd like to link to.

Seeing as there are 30+ pages in this topic alone, I am sorry if this idea has already been brought out. First, I will give my idea:

Basic description/ Improvements
My idea is to HIGHLY upgrade the "Clubs & Crews" forum to actually become more of a "Fanbase." When I look at the Clubs & Crews section, all I see is another forum with topics being the "clubs." Some of these topics are over ONE THOUSAND pages long! That's a lot! People, including myself, don't want to read THIRTY pages...

This is how it would work out:
In order to create a club, a person must simply create their own forum! A person would create their club name, motto, forum design, and become a moderator of their "fanclub." The creator could then invite people to his forums to become members, or even moderators of the forum. Others could ask to become a member, while the creator and moderators could choose who is aloud in and out of the forum. The TRUE Newgrounds Admins and Moderators would have full access to each of these fan forums of course.

An example of this idea being used:
Bungie.net's 7th Column Fanbase Forums

The "Newgrounds Fanbase" would work very similar to the 7th Column, except with Newgrounds Sexyness! If you haven't seen the 7th Column, check out some of the fanbase forums already created. This will give you an idea on how everything would work out.

A. How much bandwidth or server load will it cost?
Unfortunately, I have NO idea, but I would assume a lot, because many people could create their own forums and news boards for their fansite. In order to prevent people making SMALL groups (Such as only 2 or 3 members in one fansite) a time limit could be used to prevent small groups.

In other words, once a person creates a group, he or she would be given a set amount of days (say 3-5 days possibly) to have their group grow to have 20-30+ members. If the requirement is not reached, the site is deleted. This would also be great for the "Clubs & Crews" forums, because they could very easily organize their members to meet the requirements.

B. What level of user demand for this idea would there be?
I'm not quite sure about this either, but I really would like to see this idea become a reality. I'm sure the people that are already in clubs would love the idea, because it would make it SO MUCH easier for them to give news to their members and give ranks out as well.

This would also keep A LOT of people interested in newgrounds. You always hear people complaining about how there aren't any original topics being created. Well, they could join a fansite and post in their own forums instead! If they ever get tired of it, they could quit that specific forum and join a new one, or even join multiple fansites!

C. Does it serve a purpose, or would it merely, “be nice to have?”
It is both for a purpose and it would be not "nice to have" but "GREAT to have." It's purpose would be to create more originality in newgrounds. It would also make it MUCH easier for the current clubs to organize and talk to eachother. This could also eliminate those annoying "Who likes [insert object, person, or idea here]" topics. They can just make a fansite for it!

D. Is there something else NG does that already takes care of this?
There is the "Clubs & Crews" forum, but as I mentioned earlier, the fansite would work out to be a HELL OF A LOT better.

E. Is there something awaiting implementation that covers this?
Not that I know of. If there is, someone guide me to it. If my idea is already being implemented, then HELLS YEAH!

F. Include your reasoning in your post.
lolz, already did! =D

Well... that was a lot... lol. Now, who's actually going to read it all? =D

Seriously though, I hope you do. I'd love to see this happen.

i was watching a flash today and a great idea came to mind. Newgrounds should have
its own tv station. I mean it wouldn't be THAT hard for shows. just get permission from the authors and re-animate them to make them longer. Plus, lots of people who love newgrounds (who doesn't) would love it too. i know i would...
